I was running it in my 68. But the kit I have for sale is new in the box. Never got around to installing it on my new motor in the 68 before I spit two rods out the oil pan lol.

Buy my 406 and have a go lol

In all seriousness I would just do the 6.0

In all seriousness it's the one I'd like to do most too.
But, unless I can find a harness, intake, f car oil pan, and accesories for a few hundred it's not going to happen this year financially. Don't want it to run into next year. That's for the 68 ;)

Hmm, the more I'm looking into it the more I'm leaning towards a turbo'd 3.8/t56 setup.
I already have almost everything and I should be able to make between 350-400 horse on race gas or meth injection before I scatter it all over the pavement lol.
Sounds like a fun experiment, and should handle freakin awesome with more weight off the nose. Handling has always been my top priority with this car anyhow. Hmm...

Ok, biting the bullet and it looks like I'm swapping my truck 6.0 for a complete with all accesories, harness, and ecu lt1 out of a 94 bird.
Apparently I'm getting hooked on LT1's lol.

Now, to decide if I want to just toss it in as is and run it for now or start fabbing up the turbo's right away...

Yeah, I'm leaning towards that at the moment. We'll see what kind of mood I'm in when I finally tear into it. Got a few other things to finish up first so I got a couple months to think about it :)

An 87 with that nose & hatch?
Did you swap them out?

Also, who's 79-81 TA is that?
I don't see it listed in "The fleet..." pictures.
