Good Afternoon,
I'm the proud new owner of a 1986 GT Convertible. The car came with a free set of holes in the front of the block. So... I'm on the lookout for a compatible block in good, usable condition. I've gotten in touch with a guy who has an engine from a 91 T-Bird 5.0 that he's not going to be using and is selling. From what I can tell from searching this forum (and according to FoxChassis' post of 2/18/2017 in the "302ho questions" thread) the '91 - '93 T-Birds have the same 5.0 roller that my car has. Can anyone validate this for me or point me to a definitive resource so that I can be assured that I wont be wasting my money? I plan to rebuild my engine using the T-Bird block as a core. Future upgrades would be a MAF conversion and an intake/head/cam swap. But for now I just want to get the car driving so I can address the other issues. The car has been parked for the last 20 years. Brakes, fuel pump, tires, some interior work, etc.
Thanks in advance,
Grant
