    What exactly do I need to convert mine to 5.0

    I am considering this swap. I found a dirt cheap Thunderbird 5.0 car. Yes I know about the differences in the engine. Car is an 89 2.3 A4LD equipped car. Donor 87 Thunderbird 5.0 AOD car. I would be swapping out the heads cam manifold anyway so not concerned about that. The price...

    V8 conversion

    thinking of doing this. Will a thunderbird 5.0 car serve as a good starting point? yes the trannies are different. I know that A4LD for the 2.3s and AOD for the 5.0 cars. What else would I need? I know the thunderbird is a low output 5.0 thats easily changed.

    2.3L to 5.0L, how hard?

    You can pick up 5.0L's starting around 1800 around here and thats running and sometimes in decent shape even. You can probably find a Thunderbird 5.0 car (88 or down) and use that as a donor car. Also the differences are usually heads cam and yes the intake is facing the wrong way. But...

    Time has come... to sell off the stang and TC.

    Problem is though that the driveways full and we need another daily driver. So these get to go. I am sad to do it. But when you need another daily you need another daily. yes but thats pretty much your daily driver neither of these was. And as we were considering repainting the car a...

    4.6 VS 5.0 Difference

    If you want something simple to work on your driveway with huge amounts of aftermarket be it heads crankshafts rods even blocks and you want it cheaper than pushrod is the way to go. With that being said I still want to see what kind of power I can get out of an 8 cylinder sohc style mod...

    Time has come... to sell off the stang and TC.

    hahaha nothing to do with getting old. I am only 23. I am not leaving forever just kind of restructuring (sp¿ its almost 4am) I guess you could say. Still debating on whether or not to sell the custom manifold we just bought or keep it as an excuse to get another mustang. (late fall most likely)

    Time has come... to sell off the stang and TC.

    I love this car and am sad to do it. But I believe it is time I sell the 89 Coupe and the TC donor car. Makes me sad but I will be keeping part of it. I will be keeping the are wheels I put on it. Most of the love for the car is lost. Now its just memories. Time for it to be someone...

    New Tires

    I see your reasoning... But since you made such a large jump in tire size. from one real far off tire size to basically another its hard to say. But I will say this. Your most likely not any faster than a stock tired car. My 89 Coupe came with 195/70/14's it now has 215/60/15's on it...
