1988 Tc "408"

I am almost done with this project.  I thought I would share 3 engine compartment pictures.  I can't take pictures of the whole car yet, as it is in a one car garage and I can't step back yet.  I will post completed pictures when I finish installing the Dash, interior and hood...  (Sigh)
Main items  AFR 185 heads
Comp cams 569/579 lift
TFS Street Heat intake
36# injectors

The ac bracket is from 95-97 F150 truck that had a 351 windsor.

Looking great. You should post your location, so we know where to stay away from when we're out cruising. lol.

Ha !  I am from dartmouth Mass.  I am an OLD drag racer, but have not been going except to see what my cars will do.  Then I change a few things then try again.
I have a 67 Cougar xr7 that is strictly cruise material.  (2:73) gears on a built 302 Looks and sounds good, but is SLOW.
A 1989 Marl Vii that I drive around tpen with, and this 408 beast to keep the kids wondering.
