90 Ford T-Bird Super Coupe

I'd bring it home and play with it! If it doesn't work out, bring it back to the yard and get scrap for it. I don't know anybody who has played with one but it DOES have a blower on it. Gary Simpers races a 5.0 T-Bird in Stock so the IRS can be made to work. As I recall, they had some pretty serious head gasket problems and unlike a turbo car, you can't just crank up the boost(you have to use stock pulleys, not Stock pulleys) but I think it would be fun to play with. I wouldn't get serious with it to start. Just get it to a track and see what it does. If it shows some potential(and doesn't hurt itself) throw some Stocker tricks at it and see how it reacts. It may be a V6 and it may have a huffer on it and it may be a FFFFord but the pistons still go up and down under the valve covers and it doesn't know what it is.
