**chicken** · August 2nd, 2007, 11:59 PM

been a while, but here is the re-redone, exhaust and i think it looks MUCH better, not sure the muffler size but they were magnaflow offset inlet/outlet and they were mounted rolled up on its side hiding most behind the bumper cover painted black with some rectangle tips. and ill start off with a "before" pic with the 2 big chrome can mufflers

Homey doesn't sand, that should be tbirds problem.

**chicken** · September 9th, 2007, 11:10 PM

no no sanding, just stripping all the parts off the car, changing colors, so gotta get into every corner

Oh don't do that... you just made him cream his pants...

Last thing the chicken needs is encouragement.

He's all strung out on chocolate.

midwestbird · September 13th, 2007, 09:31 PM

or something...dont worry Ill be sanding

**chicken** · September 13th, 2007, 09:39 PM

you wanna do the "newest" seats before paint? should be quick

jbird97 · September 13th, 2007, 11:18 PM

damn that bird is looking sick, we're in the process of swappin a 94? dohc into a 97 3.8 tbird, with a 95 4.6 wiring harness, lol its turned into a mess, two female harnesses dont connect, doh! but hopefully it'll turn out as nice as this one, gj guys

95sc · September 15th, 2007, 11:42 AM

Swapping 4.6 DOHC into 94-95 v8 t-bird it's not that bad but if you're swapping 4.6 dohc into 6 cylinder bird it gets pretty interesting.

Anthony77 · September 15th, 2007, 03:15 PM

when your done come to Ft Lauderdale & put my 95 motor into my 83 Stang

**chicken** · September 15th, 2007, 11:57 PM

i think i heard about your prob jbird97 on tccoa? midwestbird is a member there too (the owner of the t-bird)

95sc is right, it wasn't that bad sohc to dohc, hell ive considered doing it again, hows your swap coming v6sc to v8dohc

and anthony77, as for being done, the swap was completed in uhhhh nov?? but the "project" will never end, every time we get close, he decides to try something else and i continue on, but at least it keeps me out of trouble for the most part

JoeyLincolnMK8 · September 16th, 2007, 08:07 AM

Lol

Ricksquickviii · September 16th, 2007, 08:32 AM

They look way better now! I would wonder how that setup would look on the markviii,

Did you do the work your self? Can we here what the car sounds like now?
Nice job chicken

**chicken** · September 16th, 2007, 09:41 AM

Just make sure that the MAN is not around when you take the Vids.

Streetfire link - 95 Super Coupe- first star up after 4.6 dohc swap.

98LSC32V · September 16th, 2007, 05:22 PM

cool good to see another dohc up and runnin, and it looks like you followed our plug wire routing in the vid. down the road yet?

MediumD · September 18th, 2007, 06:28 AM

I'm not entirely sure I see the point of swapping a 4v into a SC unless you plan on making north of 400rwhp (which is IMO approximately the highest either motor will put up with on stock internals.)

I just dumped a 4v for a SC actually (of course that's just because I live a mile over sea level, and I can make up the 2.5psi difference with a pulley.)

yea, its nativedetroiter's bird on tccoa, its been awhile since we've worked on it, i was only able to make it over to help a couple times, 97quickcat was doin most of the work and i guess he got promoted and is workin more or something like that, so far the bird is stuck how it has been for awhile, two female connectors just dont work, so its a matter of either finding a different harness that will work or finding a set of wiring diagrams and goin at it

one just rolling through the parking lot at work (lots of traffic background noise)

pulling out of work and down 23

and back
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fu...deoID=18392756
damn traffic everywhere, so lots of background noise, and that big bridge he drives under is 88 so LOTS of noise
and as for the project........................................... might not make it into chat tomorrow, because were gonna strip the car from all trim etc, yup its time for paint

no more peeling green, black hood, and blue eng bay, all is gonna be that pretty blue just like the eng bay soon, so lots more pics will be coming soon, as the disassembly begins!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all i gotta say is after everything else taking the body apart and putting it back together should be cake
