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.
