Finally the wagon is fun to drive lol. Just in case you forgot from my last thread, I bought a 87 T-Bird and stripped the engine out of it, put an H.O cam in it, and E7 heads. I got a Weiand intake with the car and I had a set of MAC shorty headers laying around. All topped with a stock 4 barrel carb from a Mustang(85? maybe) that I paid $1.45 for(Large coffee) lol. I backed that with a T5, with a stock clutch(I think...) and a short throw shifter. I also put in a stock Mustang H-Pipe, Flowmaster mufflers and 2.5" stainless tailpipes, not that you can see them lol.
My car is a 3.3L and I did the swap without changing the cross member. I used 79 F150 engine mounts and I did have to modify my tranny cross member to move it back half an inch. I also had the Foxbody oil pan already with the engine. I cut the K member at the appropriate places, as seem in the pictures, and notched the engine mount holes up a bit so I couldhave room to movethe mounts while dropping the engine in, I found last time it was real tight to fit the engine into place.
The engine how it looked since I got it, nasty....
Starting to come part
Almost ready to come out
Its out!
Empty engine bay! You can see all the nice grease leftover from all of the leaks lol.
Cleanish engine bay
Where i need to cut
All done
Engine bay all masked up.
Painted with POR-15
Primered
Painted! Yes, Sublime green, Weird, I know, but I am a strange guy... I am planning to spray the car Satin Black pretty soon, so I think it will look nice.
All together
I am going to get a Dual snorkel air cleaner asap, or atleast when money allows..
I know its not perfect, or normal, but I built it for me, and I think it looks great.
It was all done in a weekend, from 10am Friday to Sunday at 11pm when it first fired up. All done by myself, with the help of my Dad and brother. All the paint was shot with a12$ spray gun, using DupliColor's paint.
Thanks for looking. Sorry thepictures are so big, I made them smaller on photo bucket but for some reason they are big on here...
