Koda's Engine Donor thread.

[koda6966]

This is a thread to organize all the potential vehicles I scan through when I search for my donor. It's essentially a place to receive input and suggestions on my choices.

Choice #1
1991 Ford Thunderbird.
5.0 V8. Auto. Runs good.
Rusty, needs radiator and E-Brake work. (Doesn't matter to me)

My worries:
As it needs a radiator, I'm worried on if he ever ran it dry.
I also haven't read many swaps using the Thunderbird motor, I assume it's somewhat close to a mustang swap? If anyone has links please provide them.
I also haven't seen many 5.0 Thunderbirds, which may make some components hard to find.

I will add more cars as I find them and inquire about them. Also, I will add info to cars and photos as they become available.

The 91 T-Bird motor is basically the same as the 94-95 HO motor. Same cam, same heads, same everything including the FEAD.
