Problems:
Oil leaks
V-shaped engines, such as the one in the 1992 Ford Thunderbird, are often prone to oil leaks due to the complexity and number of seals and gaskets.
Head gasket failure
The supercharged engine adds extra pressure and heat, which can lead to head gasket failure over time.
Ignition system issues
Electronic Fuel Injection systems can sometimes suffer from sensor failures or issues with the ignition coils.
Supercharger wear
The supercharger introduces additional moving parts that can wear out or fail, leading to decreased performance.
Cooling system problems
High-performance engines, especially supercharged ones, generate more heat, making them more susceptible to overheating if the cooling system is not properly maintained.
Vacuum leaks
Supercharged engines often have more vacuum lines that can develop leaks, affecting performance and fuel efficiency.
Timing chain/belt wear
Over time, the timing chain or belt can wear out, which is critical to maintaining engine timing and performance.
Fuel injector issues
Electronic Fuel Injection systems can develop problems with the fuel injectors, such as clogging or failure, affecting engine performance and fuel economy.
