I have a ford thunderbird 95 v8 4.6 l and wanted a more powerful engine what's a good engine swap

Choices are 1.) modify your car (parts, engine work and or boost) and tune the computer. 2.) Gut all factory EFI and drop a crate motor in with a carb or stand alone EFI. 3.) Engine swap with the engine you want. Remember that factory efi engines need the engine, wiring harness, all sensors and computer. I'm not a ford guy so I will not pretent to know what kind of tuning can be done to the '95. Join a forum for T-birds/Mustangs. Thats where I find the most data.

For the above NOT normally aspirated or boasted intake you need to invest into a ECU programmer specific for your vehicle and learn to adjust parasitic idle, retard timing change shifting points... Often your throttle body blow past and choke mount to an adapter behind the intercooler, you've got to conceive the ratio of output and torque your looking for next enhance frame, suspension brakes differential that old 8.8 isn't going to work, consider continental tranny upgrade/ 145PSI fuel pump/ fuel rail upgrade of course new injectors, . an intercooler will keep your power steady and not overheat.. Place your off/on switch for your pump in your center tray and by pass the fuse box point of contention. Your throttle body adapter will be hard to reach all your idle control, EFG controls, will be -remove the hood- difficult to check and adjust. There is a certain thrill to see that old 205 hp in a low compression like it was made to be. Without the ECU the idle will be excessive shift points wrong...Once complete it will go around the 5L mustang like grandma.
