Original 1987 Turbo Coupe 5-speed Reply #3 – December 08, 2008, 09:58:35 PM Thanks! I totally missed CJ 2008, lol. Never even Thought about it getting moved up. I was working 7 days / week and some were 12-hr days. I've slowed down to 40 hrs due to the economy. Kind of feels like 60 MPH down to to brick wall, especially the paycheck, lol.This is NOT me, but I just had to share this pic of T-Bird abuse that somebody sent me: Quote Selected

Im ean i know its a V8, is it a 4.6?It was a Yamaha designed (and built?) 60-degree 3.4 DOHC V8. It's got more in common with the 2.5 Duratec V6 (same bore/stroke) than it does with the modular V8.
