I have come across a non internet guy who desperately needs the top half of the motor mounts. That plate that bolts to the engine. He insists that Foxbody mustang mounts will not work. He has an 88 TC that is about to get a 5.0
Right from the start of the Fox bodies I have always liked them.
My father worked for Ford where the Fairmonts were assembled for a few years.
I have owned 3, 1980 Thunderbirds, one a Silver Anniversary model that was too rough to save.
My first new car was an 87 Thunderbird LX Sport.
Unfortunately I missed as red light six months later.
As the original owner of an 88 XR-7, that I still have, I share you love of these cars.
I spotted the Red one for sale in 2017 but I was too busy to even go see it.
It had some equipment on it, Like a Tremec TKO 5 speed and the top of the line MSD ignition system.
It disappeared on-line so I forgot about it.
About 8 months later, it appeared on-line again, minus the 5-speed and the ignition.
The seller, now just wanted to part it out and was not interested in selling it whole.
I offered him a fair price it Red/Red was on it's way.
I have been hunting and gathering a few parts that I needed and even found a whole Blue/Blue Cougar parts cat that had stuff on it that I never thought I needed.
The motor I am using has been in the corner of my shop since 2012.
