Finally, I got my TC (well, I'm picking it up next week) and I must say, I am impressed. Its an addicting car. Its a black (perfect body) 5-speed (shifts great) with blue interior (perfect besides sun visors). Its got 172K on it, but it runs strong, and I plan on doing the heads or putting a new motor in it. This car is much cooler than my 93 TBird LX (dropping a new tranny in it Monday) and I want to have it for a long time.

Congrats on your first TC. Yes, they are addicting. Just out of curiosity, if it runs strong, why are you considering replacing the motor?

Ok, I know, HEAD, i'm used to having a V6. Anyway, the engine is strong, i figure that i can get 20K out of it, so the crate motor will be a later concern. Also, for the mufflers, are they 2 1/2 in and out or what is the size of them, i want some dynomax mufflers.
