91-93 Cougar and T-birds finally got the HO motor but it lacked the highly adaptable Mustang computer for big HP.

Late 70`s, Ryan, was the last of the T-Bird with the big engines, after that it was the V6, 302 and finally the 4.6.

Someone has did his homework.
Just it was till 96. The T-bird was discontinued and the Cougar became a FWD in 1997-2002 using the same chassis as the Contour/Mystique.

There is a Tbird site. I do not remember what it is called. I had a few guys from the site contact me about the 79 parts car. I think its called thunderbird or something like that.
