Almost any mustang engine part will fit a
thunderbird. <br><br>Intake manifold - Yes, but only the '99+
mustang will give an improvement and you need to install
'99+ heads in conjuction. The '96-'98 mustang intake
manifold and heads are exactly the same as on the T-bird.
If you decide to do the heads and intake, be aware
that the '99-'00 heads require some additional
modifications. The '01 heads are a direct swap.<br><br>Headers -
No, they won't clear the steering
column.<br><br>Heads - Yes, see above.<br><br>MAF - Yes, but you need
a chip programed with the transfer function. Don't
bother with the mustang MAF, get a Lightning MAF. You
will need to make an adapter, but all it really
requires is about $5 and a hardware store.<br><br>dry NOS
- it should work, the '96-'98 mustang 4.6 is
exactly the same as the '96-'97 T-bird 4.6. There might
be hood clearance issues, but I doubt it.
<br><br>wheels - nope, the mustang has a 5x4.5" bolt circle and
the T-bird has 5x4.25" bolt circle. You can change to
mustang hubs though if you want to make them fit.
<br><br>ram air system - yes, but it may require some minor
modifications<br><br>UD pulleys - Yes for the '96-'98 mustang pulleys,
not sure on the newer ones. If you are running a high
power stereo, then you may not want to install the
alternator pulley.<br><br>super/turbo charger - yes, but
most come as kits with model specific mounting
hardware. The mounting hardware should fit for the most
part, although some minor modifications will probably
be necessary.<br><br>Some other things you may want
to consider are your exhaust, torque converter, and
rearend gears.<br><br>Hope this helps,<br><br>Kenny
