Need advice from the Ford Crew
I'd like to do somthing with my T-Bird. It is a 1991 with a tired 302ci and AOD. Both are getting close to the end. My problem is should I rebuild the 5.0 and the tranny or go with a swap like a cammer 4.6 and T5/T6. I use the car as my weekend play car so it would not be driven much during the week. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Money is really not a problem. I'd just like it for a weekend warrior, maybe run in the low 12s or quicker. Something along those lines would be nice.

Forged 331 stroker, Canfields, blower cam and a rebuilt beefed up AOD and a Turbo. Thats what I would do if I have a Tbird of that vintage.

That is what I was thinking about doing.
