I jsut recently bought a '92 t-bird and don't know a whole lot about it. I know that it is decent, and has a new engine and tranny when it reached 100,000 miles and is now at 144,000. Well, The only problems with it are power steering leak and the suspension rattles some. I only paid a grand for it and al lthe power stuff (windows, locks, brakes, mirrors) still works as does cruise control and A/c. My questions fall in what are the powers of it. It is a 3.8 V6, and what can I do, like small mods to add hp. I was also wondering if a massive power loss when A/c is on is normal.

I have a '92 3.8 as well (traded a 30-06 for it), with 193,000 miles. And the massive power loss when the a/c is on happens to me as well. I don't know what you could do to add hp, but I would like to know too. I believe I saw some sweet looking Cold Air Intakes on eBay for like 99 bucks. With the tricked out polished tube etc. But that's all I have seen.
