hate to burst your bubble buts its not easy to break 300 at the back wheels with these engines. Best bet is to drop the s/c and throw on a turbo.
Instant 300+rwhp and you can keep everything else stock
exluding the injectors and exhaust.
IMO the best mod for these cars, I have a 92 that i swapped in a 351w and 5spd that will be turbo'd, my other 3 sc's still have the heatons that will be replaced with single turbo's once I get some free time.
oh cool well sounds like your on your way, don't be disappointed though if you don't reach your goal. Many have tried invested thousands and failed.
My friend bill has an 89 5spd with an mpx @ 10%, mp plenum, 85mm t/b, 76mm maf, #42 injectors, scp tensioner springs, air dam, ported heads, rebuilt bottom end, rebuilt trans, etc...
I'm guessing he'll break about 260rwhp. Guess I'll find out tomorrow car should be done then.
thanks for your kind words guys that guy omost put me down i hope im not expecting to much out of what im doing!
ill put some pics of the inside once i go to work on it today.

thanks for looking
In my short history of MN12dom, people only achieve success through failure. You will hear this cliche more than any other in life, but with supercoupes you almost always fail... your AOD blows at 120mph, or your DIS stalls the engine for you on the highway, sometimes you blow a rod bearing and make your girlfriend walk home. Other times your neighbor backs into your fender with his pickup truck while you are parked. But sometimes, the car will scream when worked out just right.
redemption is sweet.
sometimes you pass certain cars who's driver's wonder what the hell the reflective lettering reading "Thunderbird SC" is.. Is this some factory car I never knew about? No. You just got owned by an individual who was masochistic enough to make one of these cars faster than yours.
a fools errand for some, but a real treat for the ones who are crazy and dedicated. good luck
You already knew the crank was shot...Glad you are underway. Goodluck.
