My 95 Thunderbird.

No, it is not an eco car per say....but it is one of my other cars.

Some on here were asking to see some pics of it and another car I have...so, here it is.

Well, it is a 1995 Thunderbird.

It used to be my daily driver, it had a 4.6L with a 75 dry shot of nitrous.

Back then at its current weight of 3,940 lbs, it ran a best of 14.15 @96 mph, while cutting 1.99 60's on street tires.

Here are a couple pics of before....



















Well, after running nitrous to long untuned, it got the best of my engine.

So, out came the 4.6 and in went a 351W and a C6 tranny.

Install was pretty fun. Since no one makes aftermarket stuff for birds, I had to custom make a few things to get stuff to fit right.





First off, to get the engine to fit, I had to cut the rear of the k-member to get the 7 quart moroso pan to fit.

Next, to get any kind of header to fit, I had to make my own steering shaft...









Had to bend my longtubes a bit to make em fit around the C6 tranny...









Still use the OEM in-tank fuel pump for now....but added a low pressure return style FPR...









throttle cable and bracket...









water pump and pulley setup..









New aluminum radiator and 2- 14 inch electric fans...
