Big block late model Thunderbird

Asked by Sthrnutjg May 19, 2018 at 12:12 AM about the 1994 Ford Thunderbird LX RWD

Question type: Car Customization

A friend has a 1976 390 ci.  big block with a
5 speed manual out of an F250. The tranny
went out of my 1994 Thunderbird, and in the
process of limping home, I am sure that I
floated at least one valve. There is a
constant rattle under the hood anyway.
I want to put the big engine in my 94 lx
Thunderbird. Any information on this world
be appreciated.

It would be difficult to install and it would be totally illegal due to smog regulations.

Not a practical swap , The T-Bird is a fox chassis With little width to accept a 390
