!957 Ford Thunderbird
I have a 1957 Ford Thunderbird currently that I am restoring. Any tips would be appreciated and specifically engine tips. The engine is a 312 that was rebuilt but not properly stored therfore in it's clean state rusted greatly inside. Is it recoverable? How?
Thanks, Stevo |

Re: !957 Ford Thunderbird
A good machine shop can probably restore the block.

Re: !957 Ford Thunderbird
Are T-Bird buyers as picky as Corvette people about having the original engine? If they are, it's worth saving the old one.
Of course, with hundreds of thousands of 'Vettes made from '53 through '67, they need a pecking order to make some cars better than others. Owners of original Ferrari GTOs (36 produced) couldn't give a hoot about the serial numbers on their V12s, they want to vintage race them and change engines if they blow up. Perhaps the relatively low production numbers (for an American car) of Tri-Five T-Birds make them precious as long as the engine is correct for the year in question. |
