Need more info on 1990 SC Thunderbird. Aftermarketparts&mustangengineswap help!

[\\J//]

Hey FF Im a stang guy looks like ill be needing help from t-bird enthusiast since this project probably hasnt been done before...

Just wondering how much potential the 1990 thunderbird v6 S/C engine has trying to do something out of the box on a 4banger mustang engine swap instead of a 2.3 turbo or a 5.0 a sc'd v6 sounds nice btw im getting the tbird for 700 or maybe i can talk the owner down to 550 or 6 few weeks back i had a 351w bronco inmind but this will be my everyday car when its done need something alittle more practical fast yet good for everyday use


What aftermarket parts should i turn to? like a aftermarket supercharger intake pulleys & cam?

should i use the Thunderbirds engine mounts for the swap? is there much diference in the drive shaft? not too sure of what tranny and rear end it holds please excuse me i still need to do more research


This guy had a 12.70 at 107.90 Mph on the 1/4 mile the weight with the guy in the car is 3660

1990 Ford Thunderbird SC 1/4 mile trap speeds 0-60 - DragTimes.com


so with the weight advantage of the notchback im thinking the notch with the tbird engine would weigh 500lbs less? or am i thinking wrong? maybe shave off time on the track with the aftermarket parts?

not good at calculating these things let me know whats needed for the swap feel free to throw out opinions before i go through with this thanks!

btw sometime down the line ill be going with a 3.8 stroker kit.

I am New here I don't Want to step on any toe's
But I think out side the box! Find a nice Ex cab Ranger get the top line model ,
It has 7.5 locker rear . Use all of the wire harness from SC And ECM also .
Get Good wire diagrams for both .

sounds good man thanks for the input i know the exact place to find the diagrams so im half way through that. so i shouldnt go higher then a 7.5 rear? im looking into throwing in 4.10 gears for the rear since it will be an automatic i just want to put every bit of gas to use

chances on the sc motor mounts will fit fine since they are both foxes front suspension should be fine to since i know a few guys that use them on their 5.0's rear suspension is still a guess still need info on the drive shaft i dont feel like having it cut i just want a drop in and go.
