1955 Ford Thunderbird 5.0 Coyote Swap Restomod “Coyo-T-Bird” Final Video Feature V8TV
The V8 Speed & Resto Shop recently completed a modern, fuel injected Ford 5.0 Coyote V8 swap into a 1955 Ford Thunderbird. Now, the restomod Thunderbird runs much stronger and is more reliable thanks to the Ford Performance 5.0 Coyote V8 engine swap and 5-speed manual transmission. The V8 Speed and Resto Shop conversion also included installing a custom mandrel bent Magnaflow exhaust system and high-pressure fuel system to run the Coyote engine.
This 1955 Ford Thunderbird now features a Tremec TKO 500 5-speed manual transmission and a hydraulic clutch from Modern Driveline.
The V8 Speed team also upgraded the interior with the new gauges and a Vintage Air A/C system.
The Ford Racing Coyote V8 engine is a 5.0 liter, all-aluminum, dual overhead cam electronically fuel injected V8 engine similar to what is found in new Ford Mustangs. The factory rating is 430 HP, but this retrofit installation features a bit more thanks to the free-flowing fabricated aluminum intake manifold and the less restrictive Magnaflow mufflers and custom built, mandrel bent exhaust system.
The steering system was improved with a Flaming River power steering rack and pinion conversion, and the brakes were upgraded with a hydraulic brake booster system from Hydratech braking. The 1955 Thunderbird now features 4 wheel disc brakes, and Rocket Racing wheels.
We invite you to contact the V8 Speed and Resto Shop anytime at 314.783.8325 for a Coyote swap or restoration for your classic car, truck, or muscle car.

We had a good friend and customer call us looking for a Buick GS to purchase. After several months of searching, we found this slick red 1971 Buick GS 455 for sale, inspected it, and ended up purchasing it for the customer. It is an original GS car, with a non-original 455, but the engine has been rebuilt with a performance cam, lifters, intake, and it runs very strong. The car is painted a non-original color, (was green), but it looks very presentable and has a very clean parchment white interior. The car drives fantastically and will be a pleasure to own. This is a gallery of the car for your viewing pleasure.
