Other Windsor 4.6s (trucks mostly) were the code '6'. Mustangs from 96-2002 (last year in the catalog) are Windsor code 'X'. Considering FM made most of the internal 4.6 parts in the first place, I think their catalog would have the right identifications. I have several parts catalogs, and among other things, I'm going from a Federal Mogul engine parts catalog from 2002. The engine codes (8th digit of VIN) for Windsor motors (96-2002 at the least) are '6' or 'X'. Then I have 2001 Lincoln Navigator PI heads (they're the Romeo style with 11 bolt valve covers) and a 2001 Mustang PI intake and upper plenum. I'm using a 96 T-bird bottom end as starting point and for the accessories. I did bunches of research on what fits from what year and how 'cause I'm in the process of building a motor for my '95 Cougar. There's 215hp Windsors and Romeos and there's 260hp PI Windsors and Romeos. Like it woulda killed them to make them both the same since the power ratings are the same. Then I have 2001 ** corrected - Explorer ** PI heads (they're the Romeo style with 11 bolt valve covers) and a 2001 Mustang PI intake and upper plenum.įord really threw a screwball in the mix with the whole Windsor/Romeo thing. I believe that stayed the same until 2004 or 2005 when the 3 valve 4.6 came out that makes 300 hp. '99 started the PI (power improved) cylinder heads that upped power to 260hp and 300 ft-lb. The cams and head specs were the same as the MN12s (minus VC bolt pattern). I believe it was in the thickness of 1 of the main webs in the block that a Romeo crank wouldn't clear. They also had the jack bolts on all 5 mains, but the block & cranks were ever so slightly different. They all had 11 bolt valve covers and press pin connecting rods/pistons.ĩ6-98 Mustangs had Windsor built motors with floating pin connecting rods & matching pistons and 14 bolt valve covers. 96-97 MN12 blocks had jack bolts on all 5 mains. The 94-95 blocks had jack bolts (side bolts) on the center 3 main caps only. The 96-97s were upped to 215hp and 280 ft-lb mostly from the intake upgrade. Other prominent media appearances were by Hugh Laurie in British film, Maybe Baby and, with a sidecar, in the BBC TV cookery series Two Fat Ladies.The 94-95 Tbirds had the 'low power' 205hp 260 ft-lb 4.6. Upon its introduction, the Triumph Thunderbird received prominent press coverage due to its use by then- highly popular actress Pamela Anderson in her film, Barb Wire. All later Thunderbirds with the 150 mph (240 km/h) speedometer and Keihin carburettors should have six speed gearboxes fitted along with chrome engine cases. The earlier Mikuni carburettors initially suffered from premature needle and jet wear in its first year of release this was rectified with a factory recall soon after. The six-speed gearbox was used on all later variants of the Thunderbird along with Keihin carburettors. Its styling was intended to recall the early 1970s Triumph X-75 Hurricane. Introduced in late 1997, this was a more sporting version of the Thunderbird 900 with power increased to 82 hp (61 kW) at 8,500 rpm with 36mm flat side Keihin CV carburettors and six-speed gearbox.Īlso included was slightly revised styling, including a 'cheese grater' air filter, twin disc front brakes and fully adjustable sports suspension, added to this were the twin silencers on the one side. Triumph Thunderbird Sport Thunderbird Sport The Thunderbird was produced until 2003 and the Thunderbird Sport until 2004. Several variants were produced, namely the Triumph Legend TT, Triumph Adventurer 900 and the Triumph Thunderbird 900 "classic" and then the Triumph Thunderbird Sport, which produced 82 bhp (61 kW), had a second front disc added, and a six-speed gearbox. In 1998 a 'king and queen' seat was added as an option, The swinging arm was upgraded to an oval section in 1996 in 1997 chromed plastic radiator end covers and grill were provided as standard along with chromed engine cases. Fed by three 36 mm flat slide carburettors, the engine was lively and could cope easily with all riding styles. Launched in 1995, the Triumph Thunderbird 900 was styled to create the impression of an air-cooled triple combustion chamber although the radiator up front shows it is clearly a liquid-cooled machine.
