so far its bored 60 over, forged 9:1 pistons, forged rods , ported head , intake and the bigger e6 turbo manifold, 4'' open downpipe, dsm bov, i need a front mount, afpr, injectors, fuel pump ,roller cam, and 456. ring and pinion to get it finished.

Nice, deff out of the ordinary.

thanks. the only downfall if it makes good power is that the car weighs 3400lbs with no driver

Wow that makes me proud to see guys keeping the 2-3T spirit alive. Nice T-bird. And btw, you can easly get that weight below 3000lbs. All 3 of mines were just over 3000lbs with me and 3/4full tank of gas.

BULL

i cant wait

If you need any help or advice let me know, i know a little about the good old TF. I really need to get cracking and get my merk back together.

I herd back in the day that you can take out the front bumper support on those and drop mass weight, or some such shit.

Yeah kinda........ All 79-86 Foxbodies suffered from that govt safety crap. So yeah if you drop the front and rear "metal-supports" on the 83-86 TC's you shave around 200lbs, off the car w/o touching the interior, or a/c components.

But when the 87-88 TC's rolled out, they had thick fiberglass supports. Mainly because where the 83-86 was more to an interior like fox-body stangs of it's day. (Less luxury) it only weighed around 3400 w/a auto tranny, and moonroof.

Whereas the 87-88, was more of a "truer" Touring coupe than the first ones. (More luxury) And as a result it weighed in at over 3500 w/o a roof, and a 5-speed.

The secret to TC's, lay in the rubber insulation. I weighed over 2bags of it when I had my first 88, and took over 250lbs of it outta the trunk, interior, w/o me touching the heaviest of it behind the firewall. Along with A/C (Wouldn't do that again though) and bumper supports, (Which I would'nt do again neither on an 87-88) that was how I trimmed "OVER" 400lbs off my birds. (The lightest being my raggity 86" sleeper most folks remember from back in day that weighed 2850 w/o me, and and just a 1/4 tank of gas)

Remember all fox-bodies are light at heart, it's the shit ford packed on um from the factory that made some of em porky.

what are some of the free mods that can be done i have an 85 xr-7 turbo motor with the t-3 turbo and 88 intercooler, boost controller set to 18psi, bov, brown top injectors
