Hi All.
I am trying to restore a neglected 1979 Formula Thunderbird. It has the orig 5.7l Quadra Jet Carb'ed motor in it. The Exhaust manifolds are cracked and there is water in the oil...
The alpha drive was recently replaced...
Questions:
1.I wan to go ls1 in it. (More HP and Better Fuel Economy)
2.Is my best be buying a wrecked LS1 car and swapping over the wiring and computer and all over to the boat? (don't think this is covered in Dennis Moore's book)
3. Are there performance Ext manifolds for this boat?
4. Is there anyone that has done a similar swap that can shed some light on this?
Thanks,
Travis
