Hopefully the pics work.

Hi everyone. This is my 1964 T Bird. I bought the car back in high school when I was 15. Did the paint and body work as a high school project. I also swapped in a mild 410 and C6 tranny. 40 over, crane hyd 272 cam, performer intake, a set of shorty headers.  I did an an alum radiator and electric fan swap and made my own subframe connectors.

Thanks for the welcomes!    The notch back was an engine swap project I did last winter for a friend who was stationed over seas. It's an '88 AZ former SSP car. It now has an 03 Mach 1 4.6 and a T56 6 speed and it's now being enjoyed england by the owner.

Im still here lurking around and learning. My Thunderbird project has been slow the last couple years.  (started a new family, deploy twice a year as a Mr. and still a reservists between deplyments.)  But i have a couple of updates. I redid my brake system last winter. Changed the fronts to disc brakes and replaced all the lines.  New heater core. Needs a power steering box because it decided to start leaking just sitting there lol.  The ol girl has needed alot of attention just from sitting.  But i did get to drive it to the gas station lol

Fe related.... I am having a street dominator intake converted for efi . I used the edelbrock fuel rail kit and bungs from FAST.  Ill get pics of that intake set up when i get back from this trip

I dont know if i am going to modify a stock dizzy shaft for the explorer style cam sensor (would be a drop in deal) or use Jays timing gear set up.   I plan on using the MS3PRO EFI system.  Either way ill need to figure out a crank sensor solution to keep my factory pulleys.
