Anybody good with computer art? September 27, 2005, 10:51:36 PM Hey guys I have a favor to ask. If any of you are good with computer art I was wondering if someone could design a intake cover plate for me. I looking for something to replace the standard 5.0 Liter EFI intake plate. I was thinking something along the lines of the cobra style intake plate but having it read 5.0 LITER THUNDERJET with a 85-97 Bird logo underneith it and made to fit on a stock 5.0 intake manifold. If any one can do this I wil be in your debt . Thanks. Quote Selected

Re: Anybody good with computer art? Reply #3 – October 03, 2005, 01:33:38 PM But, isn't a thunderjet an actual motor? Isn't this the same as putting a VTEC sticker on your 1.6L CX?Anyway, it looks awesome, I just think Thunderbird would be better than Thunderjet. But I'm an idiot like that. Quote Selected

Re: Anybody good with computer art? Reply #5 – October 03, 2005, 01:52:23 PM Thanks Eric that's what i was looking for :D ! Incase anyone is wondering Thunderbirds from 1968-1972ish I believe used to have their motors called Thunderjets. They were the 429 and 460 V8s but they were the same as the 429 or 460 that went in a LTD or Galixy. They just called them Thunderjets because they were in Tbirds. Since the Tbird was an "image" car like the Mustang ( which had a Cobra Jet, which was different than the standard passenger car engine) Ford had to give the engine a fancy name so people thought it was special. Just wanted to make sure that you guys knew where I got the name/idea from. And I figured that it fit because my 5.0 is basically a standard passenger car engine like the original Thunderjet was.

Re: Anybody good with computer art? Reply #9 – October 03, 2005, 02:06:43 PM Hmm both look good to me. Now I have to decide.Oldraven I'de put a 429 Thunderjet in if I had money to get the engine, a C6 trans, a 9" rear, and strengthen the subframes . Don't worry I'm actually thinking about doing a 460 swap in a few years when I finish college. Can you say huge burnout :hick: ! Quote Selected

IMO FWIW Eric's may look fine once it's on the intake but on the screen it looks strange. Quote Selected
