One of the guys local to me posts on here every so often has a race car with a big block, I think its a 83-84 T-bird. His username is 83-86Tbirdguy or something close.
My opinion is strictly personal beliefs that one should not back date the technology on a car unless there are no other options. I didn't settle for the carb excuse on my 85 CFI 5.0 in 1997 and to this day still don't think its a logical swap. Spend more money to achieve less driveablity and less MPG.
I'm gathering some parts for this project car and I really want a turbo coupe lower front bumper. All of my normal searches have come up empty so I'm hoping someone has one laying around they don't want anymore. I'm not looking for a concours bumper and it can even be a little damaged or ripped.
I got ahold of him. He had a family member pass away and is working on getting a set for me. Thanks for the heads up, this was one of the big parts I'm missing for my build.
