HorsePower builds the epitome of a “sleeper” car. They take a drab, mundane 1997 Thunderbird, remove it’s stock 4.6 engine to replace it with a 427 cubic inch beast. It’s project also involving transmission, rear end and suspension upgrades. However, the exterior will be “plain Jane” all the way.

  1. I am disappointed in your coverage of the t-bird frame connectors & associated welded components. Frankly, I didn't lean much from the limited coverage

  2. I'm a little disappointed how the 83-88 model was downplayed. The styling was revolutionary in the 80s and the 87-88 Turbo Coupe 5spd was a force to be reckoned with.

  3. Nice. My 89 needs it. California car, HELP! A Millisecond can make the Start or Finish a Win or Loss . This Bird 🕊️ Got the Start, the 427 . Will. Nice to hear Your voice 🙂. Thanks

  4. This was my first car . I had v6 sc.. Wanted to fix it up.. Couldn't.. Dad made me sell it.. Paid 800 for it.. Never got to drive it but a few times.. I'll never drive again.. Cars roads USA.. Garbage

  5. I sure miss my 1992 T-Bird, best handling car I ever drove. 3.8 liter V-6, finally kicked a rod out at about 325,000 miles. The body was in fantastic condition, no rust or dents.

  6. Love this show just wish they fire that mule or he get a set of plastic teeth that fit instead if having to hear him yapp with those teeth.. Imma pop my teeth out and press this bearing on buy some orileys spray cleaner

  7. I love this now YouTube channel. I watched this actual episode when I was younger. I never knew that the only years the thunderbird was on the fox chassis was from like 1983-1986 though. I hate to say ole Elmore was misinformed, and misinformed untold thousands of people. The last year for the fox mustang was 1993..so this probably has more in common with the sn95 mustang chassis most likely lol.
