T-Bird Newbie

Been lurking on here a few weeks now, recently remodeled the Cleveland in my racecar at about 7700rpm. Now building a BBF to replace it, no replacement for displacement, right? Anyways it's an '85 T-Bird, alston chassis, lot's of fiberglass under 2500lbs with fat driver. Cleveland stuff is getting tougher and tougher to build so it was a toss up between a windsor and a BBF, well maybe not much of a tossup. Lot's of friends and racers can't understand why I wouldn't just toss a BBC and a glide in it, but frankly I just don't like my sister that way. Anyways enjoying all the great info and legendary builders on here.

Welcome aboard!!

Welcome.

My 86 Bird also has an Alston chassis. AND and an injected 598 bbf.

Dam, you are lucky yours is a strut car, wanted to see how your headers were built. I have one exhaust port directly in front of and upper control arm mount.

A BBF in a T-Bird, can't go wrong. Steve
