What parts worth taking off a Thunderbird to upgrade a XR?
What parts worth taking off a Thunderbird to upgrade a XR?
I looking to get a junk turbo-coupe Thunderbird to strip the engine, tranny, clutch setup, what else would be worth robing for upgrades or spares for the XR before the body is scraped?

Well...depends on what year T-Bird Turbo Coupe...
If its 87-88 the "big" VAM air meter and ECU are good to put in an XR.

Rear calipers and rotors.
It's not a hobby, it's an obsession!

Shift boot and related. Take speedo cable and clutch cable. Take all coolant hoses you can get as well. Steal connectors. Any interior features you want to try and add. Wheels. Spare.

Do the pedals from a manual T/C work when swapping an XR to manual from auto?
Anyhow, get the pedal assembly, its a pain in the butt, but people want them for swapping to manual.

Trans would be a good upgrade if it's a wc t5.... Maybe the engine wire harness if it's in good shape, never hurts to have a spare....
