Wow Dave! Are you two different people? You go from quote:"The more you irreversibly hack into it, the more it will lose value. - Dave" to asking me where you can get a "bolt on rack and pinion" ???? Quote:"Also, let us know who offers (bolt on) power rack and pinion steering for Squarebirds. Good luck. - Dave " What the Heck? Again what is the point to refuting your nonsense? I guess the big question is: If you actually have a thunderbird with a 352 in it and you run it "rich" to avoid detination and you are so apparently well versed in hot rodding ford fe's all of a sudden and have done all kinds of expensive projects, and this is a very relavent question, why can't you simply pull the two cylinder heads off your T-bird, take them to the machine shop and have the guy update the heads with valves and seats so you don't carbon up your valves and combustion chambers for a couple hundred bucks? That will actually add value to your t-bird. And about the 351W to 427 thing. Now we are talking about a specially engineered race block? I guess you figured out I was right that you can't just take a 351w small block and magically turn it into a 427, the block simply was not designed to handle 700 hp. Anyway, what is the point? You want to stick a small block in a big block car? If you are going to the expense of a small block 351w race block, why not just get a Genesis or Dove real live big block 427 side oiler cross bolted mains extravaganza for $3500? It bolts right in. Your small block nightmare would require all kinds of conversion crap and fitment issues, DUH! And just so you know, I DON'T like superchargers and turbochargers their power curve climbs too fast and its easy to spin tires and lose traction, Not good if you are trying to win a race on the street. I much prefer a normally asperated torque and horsepower curve. In other words given the choice I would rather have the normally asperated 600 hp engine rather than the Turbocharged or nitroused 600 hp engine. But that's just me. Again what does all this have to do with helping me find performance suspension parts which was my original request for this thread. If you don't have any suggestions why are you even involved in this thread and persisting in taking it in other directions?
