Re: 57 T BIRD, 306 FORD MOTORSPORTS TRANSPLANT, TCI C4
I have a 393 windsor c4 in a 1955,i did disc and power steering.i found it would be a lot easier installing a 302 size for fitment but the mistake i made was not installing a aod,car is great except on super highways with 373 gear the motor is at 3000 rpm .i will change someday
