'88 T-Bird 4.6 DOHC swap.
Reply #72 –
I was doing some measuring and it appears that installing a 4.6 3v into a 87-88 TC will be even more challenging.
The 3V throttle body will be right at the opening to the hood vents on the factory TC hood.
I will have to remove all of the plastic air ductwork under that hood.
Looks like 1 1/2 to 2 inch k-member spacers are needed.
Gonna be close if it fits at all.
The centerline of the crank to the top of the intake on that 3v is much higher than my 460 big block is with an air cleaner on it.
Would be alot easier if I used a reg. T-Bird hood, but I like my TC hood. :D
