I got all the paperwork on my T-Bird and found when the engine was rebuilt. Its a 292 bored 40 over completely rebuilt. It has less then a 1000 miles since that was done. The T-Bird has lots of power and its enough for me. zzzzzzzzjust need to get the bugs out of the carb. It does not hold its prime when sitting for a day or two. I half to crank it a good bit before it starts. The engine has a new cam, Cam Bearings,rods,Pistons, Valves, Valve springs, heads milled, Timing Change AND Oil Pump. A complete rebuild which is good. The carb was rebuilt but sitting for 27 years did not do it any good. I do believe this is going to make a nice T-Bird down the road.
