[410Fortune]

Yeah and I know about that hurricane thing, I grew up in Clear Lake, worked in Galveston, and at one time actually lived in Ghilcrest too.

i think i've got you covered on the followers. i don't have an a237 but i've got some old school circle track 2300 cam that is AWESOME on a 2.3t. i'd have to have it measured as i don't know the specs on it. you're on your own with the cam gear. lol. let me know if i can help. i'm REALLY anxious to see how this turns out.

The cluster I actually installed IS the 87/88 Turbo Coupe cluster, as for the struts, as far as I know the spindle/knuckle in the LSC (fox body Mark VII) are the same, as in the thickness, where the bottom of the strut mounts, but pending on how long/milage they have been in the T-Bird he might just consider a set of Tokico's or better yet Koni's.
The factory struts in the TC were just adjustable dampening (electronic though) like the aftermarket struts I mentioned, but the Mark VII's do have air ride.

BTW, the speedo in the Turbo Coupe is electronic and uses a VSS sensor, the Mudstains didn't get that till 1994.




Jeff - :navajo:

Nice, I'll see what mph his had, I thought that some were at least 120mph.

You can still get the TC struts I think, but personally I don't see a need for the trick adjustment. We like the air ride of the Mark's, but we also like a firmer feel than the air ride. My friend swapped to springs because his air bags kept leaking. I want to swap to a 96+ Mustang suspension, so those Turbo Coupe parts are likely not needed for him. I have his TC front sway bar under my LSC, it's the same as the 94+ bars.

oooooooooooooh awd sport, think the t case will hold up? You better start a collection!
I know Troll got his AWD t case to hold up, for a while


I have 2 questions after that last pic:

1. Are your stereo components falling over? and if YES how do matchbox cars defy gravity?

2. when do you find time to play Tennis?

Also the wife will only be pissed until she gets to drive it, then you will be pissed with no keys in your hands
