Nope, not much rust. I live in California so everything is top down here and the car was garaged for most of its life. It really just needs a new paint job and to have the engine and transmission stuffed back in.

Will do.



That was it before we began...

Nope, that was the original engine. In 1963 you had three choices, a 2bbl 390 with 300HP, a 4bbl one with 325HP, a 4bbl Police one with high compression with 350HP, and the super rare M-Code 3x 2bbl Carburetor setup that made close to 400HP. That M-Code setup is what my dad is going for, but with a lighter aluminum manifold, higher compression, built internals, and more horsepower.

It will probably make close to 500HP at the flywheel.

Hell yeah man.

He has a build 390 ready to drop in with an Edelbrock intake manifold and 3x 2bbl carburetors.

Aw man, I wish. I am helping my dad restore one, a 1963 Thunderbird he bought in 1987 but only recently got around to doing anything with. We are hoping to make it look like the one in my signature. The Thunderbird in the second post of the thread however, is my daily driver. Its the same color as the one in my signature, only its 26 years newer.

Hello

I mainly play BF2 and Command and Conquer. I play on the {TNT}Squad Server for BF2. Anyway please comment on my pics. Thank you for reading this and may God be with you and your family.
