I have been primarily a “jap car” guy, as my FIL so eloquently put it, and I need help identifying the T Bird engine.
Can you tell me what it is?
Also, here is a sense of what we are looking at with this project.
I also registered the Sunchaser for the Japanese Classic Car Show in September, so I am on an automotive roll. It was a rough week, so this is kind of nice.
Hey....
shhh...

OEM was a 429 cobra jet, I guess if the block stamp matches the firewall stamp (if that’s a thing) then it’s a 429 cobra jet, but who the hell knows with a car this old it could be on it’s second or third engine.

I put that same air cleaner on a 69 351 Windsor engine and it took some time to figure out the foam was blocking the carb vents and causing strange running issues

“This car needs a ton of work, I better get some new badges.” Good luck with it. It’s a neat car with what looks like about $8000 in upcoming maintenance. Then another $6000 in paint and body work.

It’s a Ford Windsor, probably a 351. Try this site out if you can find the stampings on the block/heads.

I’m no Thunderbird expert but I think at this point they were big block only. I’d guess 429.

So which is bigger, the AC compressor in the T Bird or the engine in the Sun Chaser?
