hi everyone, ive just joined the site here and thought i'd say hi, im chris, i live in the uk and recently purchased a 69 thunderbird 2 door hardtop coupe. she has the 429 thunderjet block in her , has the power seats and windows. black leather bucket seats - interior is mint. im looking to customise her a bit but am having trouble gettin info on what i can do to the engine, it doesnt seem to be a popular engine to tune up. does anyone have any ideas of what i could do to get some grunt out of her, she has an auto gearbox in her at the moment but if i can i may put a manule one in one day if it helps with the tuning. i dont know a lot about these engines as the most common engines tuned here in the uk are usually 2 litre 16valve's which are totally different. i want to get some real power out of her but keep her road legal. any ideas. i have some pics of her on a website heres the link if you want to have a look at her. my t-bird
