And more on the hub city car:
Frame rails look pinched/flattened if you look close in the picture. Maybe they modified the rails significantly? I would say so. |

Damnit. Looks like Kar Kraft Engineering went under. Shame. They were offering front sump pans, and alot of efi to carb adapters. Never mind the fact they also made adapters for alot of other mod motor stuff.

Andy, my thought is this...
The 89-97 TBird came with the modular motors so with the front crossmember and stuff welded to the Gran Torino frame rails it would almost be a bolt in?
At least I think the pan would work then.
When I get this van I am looking at what suspension and sterring it uses then decide the route to go.

Exactly. Thunderbirds had 5.0 engines 1991-1993, then 4.6 engines 1994-1997.
Crown Victorias had 5.0 engines through 1991, then 4.6 engines to date. Lincoln Town Car should be the MOST obvious example. 1990 was the new bodystyle. 5.0 engine 1990 only, then 4.6 engines 1991 up. I would look at 90-91 TC's and take measurements from there first before looking at others. |

Depends on the direction you want to go. I could see opening up the frame, removing the stock crossmember, and dropping the 94-97 Tbrid structure / K member into the Torino for the setup, but are they a rear steer?

I am still contemplating mine ('76). Now that I have an extra frame and cowl to butcher ('75 GTS), I am hunting for a couple of CVPI from '03-'07 to use as donors. That project will be next year.
