Dave Henderlong is showing us how to go fast on a budget with his 1988 Turbo Coupe that’s powered by a 445-cubic inch 7.3L Ford Godzilla. Here’s a link to part 1 in case you missed it:

Money well spent for a 9 second car! Love those Thirds!!!
This guy is a inspiration… keep up the good work !
I love those turbo coupes
That's going fast on a reasonable budget. Engine still sounds like it's in a bus, lol !!
Now that's a muscle car, they just don't make them like that anymore.
Great stuff!
Great video Evan! I have been following you for some time, watching your Gorilla 7.3 videos. I am amazed with the 7.3 engine. I have a 1998 Lincoln Mark viii collectors edition that I am thinking about putting this engine in it. How can i contact you? I would like to speak to you some time. ( way to go Dave!) Mark
Out of curiosity, how many comparable big blocks are not capable of attaining that level of performance?
Love any kind of THUNDER BIRD nice car have a 57 and a 83 in silver with a 351 W in it
t bird is flying!
Those '87-'88 T birds and Cougars are really decent looking cars.
I’m surprised how light it is even with a cage in it
Another car meets Godzilla!
Nothing better than "Michigan boy does good" with the 7.3 Ford.
Bad ass! Murica FYEAH
Love that license plate!
Be nice to see a 7.3 thunder bird Cougar shoot out. I have the perfect car for ya
Saw it in bowling green love it good job guys!
amazing car!
Good looking car . Greatest trAck in the world
Way back when mass air stock mustang came out you would run12s with 4.10s slicks 14 degrees of initial timing .4.10 help everything
Killer T Bird love it!!!
Long tube headers would look way better and should greatly improve horsepower. I hate the forward exhaust. Running straight off the manifolds has to kill power.
I wish these were aluminium block….
I've heard of shops struggling to fit this in other cars. This guy doesn't seem to have any issues.
Love this, was always a fan if these T Birds hung out with a friend who had a Turbo T-Bird. Wasn’t fast but loved the look of those then the SC versions. A bit unrelated but loved the Lincoln Mark VII too
I like it. If you're having fun, then by all means, continue. Almost a full second faster. I think that's good.
I appreciate the ingenuity, like the body style too…..but that engine sounds poopy.
Been done for years with other SBF's for WAY less money. The Godzilla is a POS and a waste of Money.
I really like Dave’s approach, one day at a time, modifications as budget allows..
have the same car with a 351 cleveland 12-1 runs 987@137 1.33 60 ft 3100 lbs
