Maverick 3.8 SC is on the drawing board..

You would be in heaven down here. There are a ridiculous amount of MN12 T-Birds and Cougars in the junkyards around here. There are two Super Coupes there right now... 98% of cars of that vintage down here are still rust free, and the ones in the junkyards are no exception.

 

Ive always wanted to take a 4.9l inline 6 and go twin turbo......

Fast spool up time=BIG SMILE

 

Do you have any turbo coupe T-5 trannys? I would like one for my 250 six

 

I do not have any Turbo T-bird parts,, those were mid to late 80's I can find one if you need it,, PM me and I will fix you up with a yard near me that has one or atleast can locate one for you,,

I used to have a '92 T-Bird Supercoupe and it was a blast to drive. I also had a '95 T-Bird V-8 at the same time. I have to say that the SC was quicker off the line for sure. That would be a great setup in a Maverick.

 

my stock 95 4.6 tbird last year went 15.5 shes a heavy girl what can i say

 

Got a 95 Cougar thats getting a 4.6 DOHC from a Lincoln Mark,, Engine has been gone over and has a few changes,,Lol Working out the wirering issues now,, Car is Candy Cobalt Blue,, Designed to be a drifter,,Lmao

And it is fun to play with,, :bananaman

 

yeah DOHC was a thought, but wiring is a mess, shouldnt be a hard swap just lotsa wiring

 

When I get the wirering Solution,,,, I will pass it over to ya,,:Handshake

 

Are 5 speed super coupes common? I was at the junkyard again yesterday and took a second look at the two they have there, one has a 5 speed. Someone done snagged the super charger though. Can't say that I have ever seen a manual MN12 T-Bird before that. It looked factory.

 

Yes, there were factory 5-speed SCs and XR7s, but they weren't all that common. The auto was much more common in them.
Also, somewhere around 92 or so, the Cougar XR7 became nothing more than a Thunderbird LS. The supercharged version of the XR7 was discontinued.

 

yeah they used m5r2 5pds, alot were manual, but most are autos

they rarest MN12 is a 95 5pd supercoupe 608 made something like that

 

I think the SC engine in a Maverick is gonna be a Wild ride,,,,LOL

 

I know this is an old thread; but, I did not know where to post this new find. I found a SC Thunerbird at a PickNPull today. Is appears to be a complete 3.8L super charged engine and 5 speed. I believe a 1994. Mileage is 167K. It this something that would work in a Mav or for resale?

Resale, although I don't think you could get much from it. They're really common. On the high side you should get $100 from it. Maybe a little more from a Tbird guy looking for one.
