1955 Thunderbird "CoyoTBird" TechAFX Fuel System and MagnaFlow Exhaust Video

The next step was to install a high-pressure EFI fuel system in our our '55 Thunderbird. For the soft lines, we used all TechAFX hoses and fittings. Trevor routed the rest of stainless steel hard lines to fit tight against the frame, away from moving suspension parts or exhaust. For a fuel pump we used an in-tank sump pump kit from Tanks, Inc. Finally, We ordered a MagnaFlow custom exhaust kit for this car and nick ran the pipes through the X frame and out of the back.

1955 Thunderbird "CoyoTBird" Flaming River Steering Rack and Hydratech Install Video V8TV

To improve the steering of our 1955 Thunderbird we decided to install a Flaming River Rack and Pinion Cradle Kit. We also used a Flaming River Steering column to finish off the steering system. Next, Trevor modifies the brake/clutch pedal assembly to work with the Hydratech brake assist booster's new location on the firewall.

1955 Thunderbird "CoyoTBird" Mustang 5.0 V8 and Turn Key Road Runner Install Video

The motor we are using for our Thunderbird is the new Coyote 5.0 from the 2011 Mustang. In this video we'll show you some of the cool features of the 5.0 motor and the Richmond 6-speed manual transmission. We're using a Centerforce clutch and a Quick Time Bellhousing to mate the two. The 5.0 does not have a power steering pump, so we're using a Turn Key Engine Supply Road Runner serpentine belt system, power steering pump, and pulleys.

Introducing the "CoyoTBird" - a 1955 Ford Thunderbird being built in the V8TV shop! This '55 is being retrofitted with a new 412 HP Ford Racing 5.0 Coyote crate engine, backed by a Richmond 6 speed manual transmission to give this old 'Bird new wings. We're also upgrading the steering to a Flaming River rack & pinion, and brakes to Hydroboosted disc units. Follow the build to see the transformation on V8TV!
