Alright, well as you all saw on the sea to sky cruise, I've been having some recent issues with my SC. I keep getting random oil leaks, and the car seems
to like running really warm. So, I have 2 options on what to do. Now keep in mind, this car is being built for show. But I would like some opinions.
option 1:
Take the car to a shop, get whatever is wrong fixed, for an unknown cost. Pull out all my wiring that im not hapy with, redo the air suspension ect. This was my first thought, but than my blower started making a little noise, and my bottom end may or may not be rumbling a little bit...
option 2:
I found a local 92 5.0L Thunderbird sport. I have drivin the car, and it is really clean. a very nice car, has some good power, and aftermarket dress up parts and performance parts are everywhere. I know the lx cars are lacking a little in the looks department (no offence to any LX'rs on here) so i have a line on a supercoupe rear bumper and ground effects. essentially it would be a supercoupe with a 5.0. i would also be swapping my air ride, wheels, black interior, late model dash and doors, and accessory lighting into the new car. than painting it come winter, which was my original plan for the SC.
What do you guys think. I would be putting my black SC back to stock, except for the chrome under the hood, and selling it. And i would end up with basically the same car i have now, with a engine i beleive has more potential (for dressing up, chrome accesories, ect) and for some performance as well.
I'm really on the fence about this one. I love my SC, it was my first real car, but a new car gives me a chance to redo everything i did wrong the first time cause i was inexperianced. like my air suspension.
Please let me know what you guys think. Cause i wanna start either project this week...
Oh, and any guys with the 5.0s on here. are you happy with them?
Thanks in advance

even thou i dislike the programing for the 4R70W (least in my '96) I do like the idea of the transmission better then the AOD.. And what other transmission
can you use OE parts to make a shift kit?
