What's a ballpark value for a complete T'Bird 6V setup, both original and restored condition?

Re: T'Bird 6V setup value

If you are talking of just a regulator and generator, I would think not much as they must be the same as the passenger and light truck of that year.
 
I would think the guys on the FE forum would guess better than us Y block and 302 guys. It would help if you could post a picture to show condition and how complete it is.
 
Ole Don, isn't a FE a "Late V8 (1954+)" as the name of the heading sez?? Not just for "us Y block and 302 guys". There doesn't seem to be a FE Specific Forum on the Barn.

There I go, making friends again... :rolleyes:
 
I don't have pictures as of yet. I just thought someone on this forum would have some knowledge of them
 
Somewhere around $1500 - $2000, maybe more, if it's complete with original carbs, air cleaner, fuel log and linkage. Since it's T-Bird specific, you've got a limited, but captive market.
 
I sold one about 1990 that was complete with linkage, air breather, and fuel log for $650. and the carbs needed a rebuild.

I think this sounds about right. Last one I had I sold for 300 bucks so you know that was a long time ago. But I only paid 35 bucks for it. They used to be everywhere because no one knew how to tune them and swapped them out for single four barrels.
 
Be careful not to confuse the two types of Ford factory tri-power for the FE motors. The more common setup is from the FE Galaxies and Mercurys, '61 - '63. The carb pads on the intake are stepped to allow for the angled engine installation. The Thunderbird setup has an intake with carb pads at the same height, as engine installation angle in a '61 - '63 Bird is level.
