Ford Thunderbird Engines and Transmissions

Each Ford Thunderbird engine here is a gasoline V8 with an automatic transmission and rear-wheel drivetrain. Selected Coupe examples include the 4.9 AT, 5.8 AT, and 6.6 AT, so you can pick a smaller powertrain for daily driving or more displacement for highway work.
