  1. 1. What should I do?

    • 85-87 G-body with TT small block Ford
    • 96-97 T-bird with blown 4.6 2 valve
    • wait to find a nice Mark VIII


Recommended Posts

I'm sick of looking for a nice Mark VIII, so I have a few ideas but I can't lean in either direction.

I love the G-body GMs, but I'm a huge Ford guy so I've always wanted an 85-87 Regal or 87-88 Cutlass and drop a twin turbo small block Ford in it. You can guarantee it's never been done, and well, I just want to do it.

Also been digging the 96-97 T-birds lately, and I'm very familiar with them and their powertrain. Building the 4.6 is relatively simple and cheap, so it would be easy and unsuspecting. . .

Or should I just wait until I find a nice Mark VIII that I swear I don't do anything to other than wheels, tires, and big brakes, but I know damn well I am going to go crazy on?

Dammit.

Maybe I am getting old and have been driving a big heavy 2-door for too long, but I voted Mark VIII.

It would be a standard Regal. I am not about to hack up a T-type or GN. Besides, they are all far too pricey for this to work anyways.

You wouldnt need to hack up a t-type or GN just build on the already great platform.

It you really want to fun a ford engine i vote the regal

That's the whole point. I want something uncommon. One of the reasons I sold the Stang. SBF powered G-body, nobody has. Boosted 2V T-birds are out there, but extremely rare. As for the Mark VIII, I've always wanted one, but they are hard to find in good condition.

But on in the Mark VIII, you are not driving, you are cruising.

It wouldn't be a T-type or GN, so it's not like I'd be destroying the originality. I see enough LS engines in Mustangs, so it's all good as far as I'm concerned. And I'm a Ford guy, so it has to be Powered By Ford.
