Default Our XK8s
I know Ford owned Jaguar and shared/borrowed many components from Jaguar so it would not surprise me if this was true. Are the T-Birds the the same chassis as our XKs. If so is anything interchangeable?

They aren't the same chassis, but I think the Thunderbird 3.9L engine has a few parts in similarity.

What are you looking to interchange?

Nothing in particular. For some reason I thought they where the same car with different sheet metal.

no the Tbird was a weak *** underpowered Ford failure to bring back a nice sports roadster. I mean the body was ok but the interior and lack of power killed it.

To make you feel even better, I understand it shares the chassis with the Aston Martin. DB8. Shaken and not stirred. Or was it the other way around... 007

Actually that would be the DB7. There is no such thing as the DB8.
