Got my new project

[Scott714]

Pics to come - It's a "Grandma special " - no mods 1986 Thunderbird 5.0 (non H.O.)aod , 118,000 miles , some surface rust on driver's door - everything else is perfect. Floors are spotless and shock towers are clean . Trying to figure out if I should add a H.O. motor with F.I. or Carb . Gonna copy Badbird's car hopefully and be able to cruise all 3 kids around this year.

Fuel Injection stays on or pull it and go carb?

carb
I kind of like the idea of leaving it all factory and upgrading to H.O. Fuel injection but I think it will be a pain in the a$$

You'd just have to find all the stock parts off a mass air stang. Might be a pain running the harness/wiring.

It has the wiring already , I believe I just need a speed density mustang computer which I have - gonna buy a H.O. motor and swap it out

It's already EFI - just doesn't have the H.O. computer or cam , injectors , intake and throttle body

Tons of people here that could help with the EFI HO swap. I converted my car from carb back to efi. Worth every second and dollar spent.

Mass air conversion, heads, intake and cam. Some gears and maybe a power adder and you wont feel the extra weight. Throw a 5 speed at it and the fun factor wil be there.

Keep it EFI. I doubt if that stock motor will be roller cammed. There are several writeups on how to convert it to mass air.

Damn you should come down and check out my buddys tbird, 347 c4 goes 10.13 or so on motor, dont think he ever sprayed it but it looks badass.
