I have a wrecked 87 TC with a 5.0 conversion. It is built too, motorsport crate motor gt40X aluminum heads, gt40 intake, 24ib injectors, long tube headers, 2.95 world class t5, plus many more good parts but the its not really fixable. I also have an 86 elan that this was all going into that has 70,000 original miles. I was going to make a replica of my first tbird but now i might sell it all. There is over 10 grand in the drivetrain on the TC. I would sell both cars for 4500 but you would have to put together,lol

sell the 140 speedo, then take 200 to 300 off the price.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.
