Looks like a rebuilt rotating assembly, Twisted Wedge heads, and an Edelbrock intake. My guess is the white Thunderbird may be moving under it's own power shortly.....
88 Thunderbird LX: 306, Edelbrock Performer heads, Comp 266HR cam, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, bunch of other stuff.

I sure hope so, been wayyyyy to long...

Having issue fitting that E'brock intake, heads have been cut twice so it doesn't line up quite right... May try Fel-Pro's thicker 1262R intake gasket, but guessing the intake will be at machine shop next week..

looking good, did the heads have any other work besides the milling?

No basically as Trick Flo sent them out the door... Were cut to correct damage from blown head gasket on the old 5.0...

I got the intake to fit, body of alignment studs I was using was pulling it to one side, now using some I made... Will bolt it on tomorrow, gonna pressure wash it one last time and maybe paint it... Speaking of paint, haven't decided for rest of engine yet, block is grey, oil pan black with water pump and timing cover Ford blue... Along with the E'brock, those are left overs from the 306 I put in Comet(was dressed out in EFI garb when I got it)... Water pump is new, reverse rotation doesn't work with the '70s pulleys...

Is that a Performer or Performer RPM intake? I've been running a Performer RPM on the 306 in my car the past few months and I like it. Probably better than a Performer on a 331.
