Body/Appearance/Interior / Can anybody ID this script badge?
I found this in the left behind junk about 10 years ago while I was moving into a new bay at a new job.  I want to stick it to my trunk if I like where it's from.  Problem is, I can't seem to trace it to what year T-Bird it came from, and I don't want to feel like an idiot after I find out its from a cycle or a lawn tractor or something stupid like that.

Engine Tech / Need engine project advice.
Later this summer I'm putting together an engine for my T-Bird, and I'm undecided on a few points, I'm wondering who can draw on their experience and lend a hand.
Parts I am decided on:
64cc GT40X heads
E303 cam
Explorer upper w/internal EGR
Requisite MAF conversion
1 5/8 unequal length shorties
2 1/2 H-pipe (mine is 2")
2 1/2 cat-back

Undecided:
Short block -rebuild my HO, or get a late model 351 and rebuild it instead
Lower intake -pretty much goes with the short block choice, Explorer lower or Lightning lower
Timing set -stock or something else
Oiling -do I want a high volume/pressure pump?

Any good input is appreciated, I've built all manner of other engines, but never a Windsor motor.  I'm making my estimate at 300 HP in the HO or 340-345 HP with the 351.
