The bell housing is mcleod and the tranny is a tremec 3550. Hopefully I have the shortblock y Saturday because I leave for vacation on Sunday (bad timing I know) oh well I waited this long another week isn't going to hurt anything. I would mind picking it up and getting it on the stand and starting with some assembley before Sunday.

It happens oh well that 408 will be super nice. Even with a fixed up 302 you can still go pick on bikes and vetts and a new lancer EVO so with your car you should be able to kick some @$$.

I too am trying to complete my 88 TC 408.  I am using 69 windsor block, comp cams 569 - 579 roller stroker cam  Tfs Street heat intake,
all forged innards  tfs 185 heads with up graded springs, 42 lb injectors 255lph fuel pump AN 9 and an 8 lines and mallory fuel rails.
MSD digital ignition and Lentek AOD 
It's not very pretty yet, but I will post some pics shortly.  By the way, even after careful measuring I screwed up on the height of the intake and had to buy a Rousch 1 1/2 hood scoop to clear the front of the intake.

Cool another 408 on the board! Definatly get some pics up I'd like to see them. I think I'll need to play with the hood too with some kind of scoop or something till I get some cash for a cowl hood. What 408 kit did you go with? I got the forged eagle kit w/ probe pistons should be around 10.3-1 w/ my heads.

Oooo purdy :D

Some one here got an EFI 351 to fit under the stock hood. I think they used a GT40 tubular intake though.
88 Thunderbird LX: 306, Edelbrock Performer heads, Comp 266HR cam, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, bunch of other stuff.

I think that intake is 1.5" shorter than the tfs-r intake. I did see a turbo coupe on ebay in the past year with a 351w and tfs-r intake so I think its going to be close. I might have to just use some spacers on the hood bolts to pump up the rear and inch or so. Or just cut a hole and bolt-on a cheap hood scoop for now.
