Funny what people will do.... A torque monster I'm sure....

 

I drove one with 312 ford and was not impressed

That thing should be fun to drive if steering and brakes are able to handle the 455

 

the 312 couldn't pull the hat off your head.this one with the olds motor is the only t bird that would interest me.they are a good looking car.

 

The TBird purist most likely wouldn't like it... But you have to admit, the power of the 455 in that small vehicle must be a thrill... Looks like the 455 fit in the engine compartment quite nicely, almost like it was always meant to be there... Ford may have always claimed they had "A BETTER IDEA", but I doubt they would have saw this coming...

 

It would be a "sleeper"
the diehard FORD fans surely would not approve

I Like It
