1995 Ford Thinderbird Lx?
So I've heard that the '95 thunderbird lx has the same built manifold and exhaust and intercooler and whatever else as the sc. Is this true? If so, what else would I need to get in order to supercharge the lx? Is it worth it to keep my insurance down? What're your opinions?
More specific please
That is most definitely not true. The V6 LX not only has a different intake and lacks the intercooler (which is useles on a non-supercharged car) but it also has a less-beefy bottom end, and is running too much compression to supercharge to the levels the SC is boosted at. You would have to completely rebuild the stock LX V6 with a lot of new high-performance parts to be able to supercharge it.
Frankly, I'm not a big fan of the V6 Ford put in Thunderbirds in either LX or SC trim. Neither was all that reliable. Get a T-Bird with the 4.6L V8, and you'll have a much more dependable car.
I have a 1996 T-Bird with the V8, and insurance is pretty cheap. When I was in college, I drove a 1995, also with the V8. That one had 235,000 miles on it when I sold it, and was still running good. Modern V6s make at least a hundred more horsepower than a 1990's T-Bird V8, so insurance companies don't consider them the same kind of risk that they do a new Corvette or Mustang.
- Will a 1993 3.0 Ford Ranger engine fit and work with my 1995 Ford ranger that has a bad motor? My 1995 ford ranger 3.0 5 speed ran hot and cracked the heads and spun a bearing. Will a 3.0 out of a 1993 Ford Ranger fit and work? My concerns are the 1993 has a distributor and my 1995 does not. Are the water pumps and accessories the same?
- Which is better? 1995 ford ranger which is stick or a 2004 Ford Escape? I'm a 16 year old boy and I'm lucky enough to have those two cars to choose from. Both have high mileage, like 350k on the ranger and 250k for the escape. Both have been serviced to a T. I really don't know which car would be best in the Long run. Meaning I don't know which one is most reliable and which one would be best for me and my use of maybe hauling my friends around. So which one do you think is the best choice?
- What is most harder to find a 1995-2001 Ford Explorer or a 1993 to 1997 Ford Ranger? I need to know which vehicle is more easier to find nowadays and 1993 to 97 Ford Ranger or I 95 to 2001 Ford Explorer.
- My 1995 ford contour will start and run but will not move when i put it in gear it is a 5 speed fwd? I realized the other day it had less than a quart of transmission fluid and it was really light colored almost as if it was watered down and i'm wondering would that causze it to not move it will go into gear just won't move
