WHEN I ORIGINALLY PURCHASED CAR HAD BLOWN HEAD GASKET, HAD HEADS TO MACHINE SHOP TO BE CHECKED AND THEY SAID THEY WERE FINE. HAD GASKETS REPLACED AND ONE DAY DECIDED TO OPEN HER UP AND SEE WHAT SHE HAD AND BLEW ANOTHER HEAD GASKET. THAT WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND I JUST PARKED IT. I THINK WHAT PART OF THE PROBLEM WAS WHEN THEY REPLACED THE HEAD GASKETS THEY USED CHEAPIES AND YOU CAN'T WITH THIS ENGINE, YOU HAVE TO INVEST IN A GOOD PRODUCT TO GET GOOD RESULTS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A WORTH WHILE RESTO. YOU CAN TURN AN $800 INVESTMENT INTO A HIGH DOLLAR TURN AROUND. Power Plant: The Super Coupe's comes equipped with a 3.8 liter V-6 powerplant that is force-fed with an Eaton Corporation supercharger. The 8.2 to 1 compression ratio, combined with six computer controlled sequentially fuel injectors, completes the well rounded underhood package. While running at a maximum 15,600 rpm's, the supercharger provides 12 psi of boost and as a resultant it develops 210 bhp at 4000 engine rpm's. The engine develops 315 lb-ft of torque at 2600 rpm. The supercharged V-6 delivers ample power without much noise but an underdrive kit and a performance chip are available to boost the horsepower rating to 255 bhp. Transmission: The 4-speed automatic transmission features a 0.67:1 overdrive ratio and an electromechanical lockup to eliminate torque-converter slippage on the supercharged models. Braking System: The Thunderbird SC braking system features 4 wheel disc brakes with ABS. The Thunderbird SC can stop in 140 ft from 60 mph. From a speed of 80 mph, it takes the SC 247 ft. to come to a safe stop. Suspension System: Up front, the T-Bird rides on a short and long-arm system rather than a more conventional MacPherson-strut arrangement. This system features variable-rate coil springs, a 1.2 in. diameter anti-sway bar and electronically controlled nitrogen-pressurized gas shocks. The rear suspension is even less conventional for a rear wheel drive domestic sedan. It's fully independent with a large lower H-arm on which the variable-rate coil spring rides and there is a smaller U channel upper arm. These arms are tied together by a cast aluminum knuckle. In addition, there is a 1.1 inch diameter anti-roll bar and gas-pressurized shocks with electronically controlled damping. The car's gripping power comes from the big P225/60R-16 Goodyear Eagle GT-II's mounted on 7 inch wide light alloy wheels. The SC is equipped with an electronic suspension control. You can definitely feel a difference in the ride when you switch from the soft and sport (Firm) setting. The ride control system is made by Tokico. A computer monitors vehicle speed, brake-line pressure, steering angle and engine-computer acceleration signals to determine the shock valving. There are two switch settings. These settings are: Auto and Firm. The automatic setting selects soft shock valving for a smooth, comfortable ride. When driving conditions require a firm ride, it automatically overrides the soft valving. The firm position is simply an override that selects the firm setting in all driving modes.
