    i would say that rear has probably never been done. i'm an old guy. want to cruise in mine---AOD. i plan on a 331, but carbureted,. seems to be less hassle. good luck. i'd like to see the rear end as it is in progress.:)

    If I'm not mistaken, the '93 Cougar rear will be the same as the Thunderbird's in those years. Swapping the IRS from an MN12 T-bird was recently discussed on here, though for the life of me I can't seem to find the thread now. The general consensus did not seem to be in favor of using that particular suspension.

    Not to be a naysayer - sounds awesome, but do you think a T5 is up to the task? Twin turbo stroker sounds like a lot of punishment...
