Essential 1975 Ford Thunderbird Performance Engines

B & M – B & M Torque Converter, Tork Master 2400, 40438 (Part No.40438)

B & M Torque Converter, Tork Master 2400, 40438

from

$749.99
This B&M Tork Master 2400 fits 1980-92 Ford AOD transmissions with a 1.375-inch crank pilot and has a 11.4-inch bolt circle. Don’t let the exceptional value fool you into thinking Tork Master Converters are not packed with lots of quality features, making them the best value-priced street performance converters money can buy. These converters perform best when paired with stock to modified engines up to 350hp/350 ft lbs of torque, and lighter weight applications, like street rods. The Tork Master will provide noticeably quicker launches and harder acceleration while maintaining normal daily driving qualities. Upgrades like a new precision alloy steel pump drive tube, needle thrust bearing when factory equipped, new thrust washer between turbine and cover when required, and pressure tested and fully balanced by expertly trained technicians. Notes: Higher stall converters can generate more heat, so we highly recommend adding a transmission cooler. Not recommended for big block, supercharged, plate-type nitrous oxide or trans-brake applications. The product images shown are for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product.

Edelbrock – Edelbrock Intake Manifold Gasket, 7220 (Part No.7220)

Edelbrock Intake Manifold Gasket, 7220

from

$30.99
Edelbrock part No: 7220 Intake Gaskets for 1963-1996 Small-Block Fords allow for optimum flow and performance. Any gasket can create a seal, but a good gasket can do it with less clamping force, and for a longer period of time. The new MP-2N Micropore technology does not use solvents making our gaskets environmentally friendly. Impervious to most chemicals, this synthetic fiber composite provides a high recovery under load. This means that when compressed, the gasket will conform to any imperfections on the sealing surface even using lower flange pressures. A nitrile bead around each port opening makes the seal even better.
