New here with a Thunderbird...

Explorer intake (installing the GT40 tubular today)

3G upgrade
5 speed
Crown Vic cop car aluminum drive shaft (shortened and balanced)
8.8 with 3.55's
CHE upper and lower control arms
40 series Flowmasters
Pype's O/R X-Pipe
dual outlet exhaust tips (chromed stainless,double walled)
Taurus electric fan
2004 Mach 1 chin spoiler
2004 Bullitt Mustang gas lid (painted body color)
10th anniversary Cobra wheels (17x9 up front and 17x10.5 out back)
255-40-17's up front
275-40-17's out back
power options (dual power seats,electric windows,etc.)
FMS 140 mph speedo

Here's a pic or two....

The engine (has since had the a/c lines installed and all is working fine)....

The intake and valve covers going on today....

I polished the intake and it's cover last Friday and the valve covers will be Ford Blue.

This is the intake when I got it in the mail.....

Thanks a lot. It took a LOT of time and parts selling and trading to get it where it is. No money for this comes from my paycheck,all from,as I said,selling and trading. It is my daily driver,and a really fun car. It pulls hard once it gets traction.Even with the 275's it blazes the tires at will. I love it.
