Hey all, I am planning on re-building my Thunder Chicken. It's a decent car, and yet, I cannot for the life of me figure out why it's suckin so bad.

Briefly, I want to redo front and rear brakes (calipers, rotors, etc...), pull the motor and have the heads and Tranny serviced, replace gaskets, hoses, injectors, have the intake manifold and exhaust manifolds cleaned and serviced, timing belt replacement, filters and pump replacements. Do you have any other suggested services I should preform?

However, I did come up with other ideas that I am unable to find questions about. First, does Ford or any other after market company make a 24V 3.8L head that would fit the bolt patterns of the 12V Head I have now? I was also trying to redo the exhaust system by installing headers instead of putting the old exhaust manifolds on. Any suggestions on a brand and model number for that? What about air intakes versus the traditional air filter system? Like wise, I think a turbo charger would be cool.

This is a tall order and any little bit of information helps! Please email me your suggestions at nate_gazaway@hotmail.com.

Thanks, Ya'll!

I think its better to consult the dealer of your car,he will guide you in the right direction.
