I miss my t-bird, and i second the question, why is it just sitting in the garage? head gaskets?

Judging by the piles of parts, Brakes, and some other small stuff.

I want one

 

[LSx S10]

yea it was sitting outside of where i work, my sisters fiance bought it for 500bucks. Its been sitting for 2 years, has 107,000 miles on it. The front rotors are worn down to the cooling fins and the rear calipers were locked up so we just got 4 new loaded calipers and rotors. also changing all the fluids, wd40 in the spark plug holes, full tune up, and i just put new tires on it last friday. Hes paying me to do the work btw

Watch out for the headgaskets. Fun cars though.

 

[greasy]

Does that have a twin throttle body setup?? Man I have not seen a super coupe in a while!

 

[LSx S10]

nope, single throttle body..i think the other throttle body your looking at is called a supercharger

 

[Stink Star]

the funny thing about those cars is that even though it is a 3.8L with a supercharger, the taurus SHO of the same year makes more horsepower with a N/A 3.0L and its also faster despite being a heavier car..

 

[IDAFC21]

man, on paper 1990 doesnt seem that old, but its 18 years old. that things almost a classic!

That S/C motor made 315lbs.ft of torque. You're trying to compare a pushrod relic with sophisticated Yamaha motor.

Those had the some of the first M90 s/c right? They could handle a ton of power but the first thing to do is get the engine blueprinted and the decks honed. Then your head gaskets will last forever.

the Super Coupe was a 'stoplight destroyer' because of its pile of torque, but it has no topend, and really no midend either...

 

[Poopshinanigans]

will the newer M90s fit the intake?

 

[Dasfinc]

will the newer M90s fit the intake?

Dunno, i got a buddy who owns 2 of them, and 3 SHO's.

 

[Primalzer]

Hmm, if the new M90 fit with a little porting and what-not, that might not be a bad way to go.

 

[Bru]

They were always strange looking intake setups. Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it an air-to-air intercooler?

Gettin the decks honed, eh?

Yes. They had an A/A IC. Very goofy setup. I dont see a L67 M90 fitting on there IMO.

whats wrong with that? The ford 3.8s are notorious for having head gasket problems because the block wouldn't fit right with the heads. Primalzer knows more about it than i do. But if you machined the block then the gasket would do its job, making it last a long time.

 

[Primalzer]

Yeah ALL Ford 3.8's from like the late 80's to mid 90's had huge problems with pushin gaskets. I don't remember the exact reasons though, its been a long time since i did research on it.

Chris Gates = baller

Chris Gates = baller

Haven't talked to him in a while, I should give him a ring and see how he and his bud are doing.
