Needs the hub swap for the 4.5 bolt patter rims. I have yet to do that to mine but it is on the list of things to do.

Oh and shouldn't that thing have a air meter on the intake? I know my 96 does. Also needs this too http://supercoupeperformance.com/partBrowser.aspx?partId=506

yep, and yeah I may do the hub swap, as I have a set of brand new bullitts laying around here, that I was going to put on the cougar...

as for paint, I was thinking of doing it the same colour I did my '88 bird.  Those are some very nice T-bird pics!  I really like the white one with the 10th anny rims....  hell, that blue one is hot too.

HELL NO!  I hate the guys at TCCOA, they all act like stuck up as#holes over there.  I will be on there everynow and then just to get info on upgrades, but I will be staying here.  I have been a member there, since I joined here, same with SCCOA.  I think I might have 50 posts at TCCOA, and 7 at SCCOA.

This is my home.....  I will be picking up a TC soon, to play with.

You have a broken spring in your 1-2 shift acspoogeulator.
It's an easy fix, and you should definitely fix it ASAP. There is an upgraded acspoogeulator piston from Ford that should be installed as well as the new spring.

Yes, the attitude at TCCoA is really baffling. I've been a member there for over three years, but I don't post all that often.
Some of those guys seem like the most pretentious buttholes you could ever meet.
Nice Thunderbird, dude. I've said it here before: I love my MN12.

Yup my dads Mark VIII does that cause of the acspoogeulator problem. He will never fix it though. He will just let the trans take a dump instead...

I like the white one on pg2.

Over the years I have seen dozens of MN12's and dozens on Fox Cougar/T-Birds in junk yards. My impression of the MN12 is that the interior is really cool - I always wished I could c00ch some of the "coolness" from their interiors. On the other hand, once I pulled my head out from inside the car I would always be reminded of why I stayed with a Fox chassis when I was "upgrading" from my '83. The pancaked look and bulky weight just never grew on me. Add to that the IRS and 4.6L Mod motor and hood clearance issues on the 5L models and I just couldn't do it. Like I said though, I like the look of the white one on pg. 2, so there is some potential there.

Step 1.  Get rid of that super-restrictive intake box on top of the motor.
