I have a 1992 Thunderbird LX (not supercoupe)
Every morning when i start my car it runs like crap. I have yet to figure out the culprit. I can start my car fine, sometimes it takes more cranking than others, but it generally does start. So....i took it out on the highway this morning, and the tach just went nuts, my engine feels like it is choking, and when i got to a stop sign it died, on an 89 XR7(supercharged) it was doing similar stuff, but did not die, it lurched, my tbird does this much more violently, the xr7 turned out to need a new crankshaft position sensor.
I would like to get the problem taken care of, but i also want a new engine. What is different between the 302 and a 351W....are the blocks both bolted in the same, and would a 351 fit in my car......with what tranny, i have the AOD right now, but it is on a V6....i dont know if it would be any different from the v8 or if i could beef the same tranny up and use it
I would appreciate any help on diagnosing the current problem as well as the new engine questions
