Arrow Ford T-Bird

Does anybody have any links to sites about T-birds?

I'm think about buying one for massive modifications & wanted to look at sites to see what has & has not been done yet.

I was told it couldn't be done by some car gurus around here. After searching awhile I found a 89 super coupe bird with the 460 & found all the parts I need to do the swap succesfully.

There will definatly be a sign on the dash that say...

Get In, Sit Down, Shut Up, & Hold On.

No not really. I looked at the links you provided but they all seem to be geared towards the early model T-Birds & I would prefer to find info about the Fox Bodies (1983-1988).

I guess I'm looking for a forum like this so I can see what modifications have been done to those car or even thought of.

I did find this one http://www.sccoa.com but it seems more geared towards the super coupes of 89-95.

No big deal right now.

It is still a concept in my mind & if it becomes real it will then become my next winter project.

I just thought I would start looking & getting ideas on what to do & what not to do based on what has been done.
I don't want to trick out a 460 & drop it into a T-Bird just to go to BIR Dragstrip & meet about 20 other cars with the same set-up in this area.

I prefer to go there an dominate the other cars with built 350's & 351's.

Check with your local boneyards,one of them should have a locator service,and should be able to find just what you are looking for.Wish I had know you were lookin for that body style a week ago,I bought a 86 cougar for the 302 and would have givin you the rest of it,but after the week I had last week,you dont want it now,lets just say the only thing left in one piece is the glass,cause I didnt want to clean up a glass mess,But oh man what a great stress reliever!

I can get the car, that is not a problem. I know where there are plenty sitting at right now. If I remember correctly the man that is chopping the top on my F-150 has one sitting there.
I just want to know what people have done to them performance wise.
