Don't get too happy. V8 T-Birds/ Cougars are nothing without a lot of work. Lower output than a 'Stang, and an atrocious curb weight.

It was either very broken, or a V6 if you beat it from a roll with that TPI 305.

Are the casting numbers hard to get to? My TPI has a damn wiring harness over top of them, not to mention the plug wires and wiper motor. Rolling Eyes

You should try checking the casting numbers. You might have gotten lucky and unknowingly picked up an old GM crate engine or something.
