The location of the starter motor varies slightly depending on the year of your Ford Thunderbird. However, generally speaking, on most Ford Thunderbirds, the starter is located on the
bottom/underside of the engine, near the bell housing (where the engine connects to the transmission).
To find it precisely, you'll likely need to get under the car. A repair manual specific to your Thunderbird's year and engine will give you the most accurate location and removal instructions.
