i recently got a 97 T-bird...I was wondering if anyone has any info or pics of them... :banana2:

 

I have some info, I own one myself. Let me know what you want.

Here is a pick of my T-bird and 05 GT. Shortly after this picture I went thru the ordeal of replacing the intake manifold.

 

ok thanks...I can't get mine until june when I go to my bro's to pick it up... can you take some pics of the interior, engine, trunk...etc... also I'd like to know if you think this would be a nice first car? how does it handle? Is it powerful? how does it relate to your 05? sorry I know this is alot, but I can't wait til June & I can't find any info on the net... thanks

 

I talked to TampaBear on here. He also has one. I think he said his handles similar to an 05 V6. I have a GT. My 05 GT handles better than the T-Bird.

The T-bird is nice. It does have 200 hp. It has some nice pep to it. I have no complaints. But do inquire about the intake manifold. There was a TSB to replace them. Ask if it was replaced. If not, just beware, it might crack.

Well, my one complaint is the traction. It is not the greatest snow car. But can you really expect it to be?

Here is a shot of the engine. I will get some more later.

 

thanks... the head is already craked, so we're gonna pull it & might drop in a 5.0 or a SC 3.8...

 

5.0!

 

the SC 3.8 get more hp than a 5.0... and more MPG... anyone know of an aftermarket supplier for thunderbirds?

 

I am on a local Mustang Forum in Pittsburgh, and I have seen a guy there who races his 97 T-bird. I will try to look for him and see if he knows anyone.

 

thanx... BTW sorry if this makes a difference... but my car is a '96 rather than a '97 ...
