I took my new(to me) $100 Thunderbird out for a quick spin tonight.
First impression is WHEEEEE! The low end torque of the 5.0 really feels nice. I can't wait to modify it and make even more power with it. It takes almost nothing to do a torque stand and make the tires sqeal.
This is a fairly worn out engine with 194,000 miles on it. It has bad blowby through the oil filler neck. But it still pulls pretty healthily for a 3800 pound car. This thing is easily 1/2 ton heavier than my Stang.
It has a knock sound over bumps, so I think I need to check out the front suspension soon and figure out why and what.
Viva La Windsor!
