Ford Thunderbird Starting in the 1950s, this was a classic American sports cars, from the compact original of the 1950s, to the muscular hard top coupes of the 1980s and 1990s to the retro look of the 2003 model year, this car is, and always will be, an American classic.

Default 1971 Ford Thunderbird Landeau 429 Thunderjet

Hi. I am rebuilding my 429 to some some more go than stock. lol. I have been trying everywhere to find out my rear gears. If I spin the tire, I get ALMOST 3 turns. I have been told could be a lot of different gears in the rear. How do I find out? It is the Dove Heads 429 with 360 HP stock. Thanks for your help. Cheers!

There should be a metal ID tag hopefully still bolted to the case. The door placard might have some rear end info.
