4.6 4v DOHC find

found a 97-98 Lincoln Mark VIII in my local boneyard and have been thinking about a radical swap. did some research and with 290 bhp STOCK, that engine should be a screamer. also read that there are only a few minor differences between these engines and the cobra engines (ie. intake cams, heads -mainly in the exhaust ports-).

what do u guys think? is it worth looking into???

 

Whats the price?? (I'd buy it anyways)

 

whole car for $500

 

Hmm...seems kinda steep!! (you know my answer)

 

that's kinda what im thinking too..... just gotta get some of these other vehicles out of the way first

 

Those engines respond well to 'chargers/turbos. I know a racer who put one in a foxbody, a stock engine with a 'charger(about 9psi I think) and it went high 9s. Of course the car was a race car(transbrake/good rear suspension/lightened/etc) but still that's flyin' with stock parts.

 

I found one too for about the same maybe cheaper but not for me.

 

They go through the local Pull-A-Part's here all the time.

 

you have to cut the shock tower out completely

 

and the master cyl has issues as well

 

I was just reading an old article from '08 that went inside the worlds quickets mod motor, and he used the block and heads from a Mk8. It made 2500+ horsepower with 52lbs of boost. Granted some work had been done to it, but that just shows their potential. Having said that, they seem like a lot of work for not a lot of power in stock form.

 

thinking MII and hydro-boost anyways

it's really got gears in my head turning, but like the wife said..... i gotta deal with what's on my plate first

 

"i gotta deal with what's on my plate first "


Soo, buy it and put it in the freezer for later.(when your plate is cleaned off)
Oh and Dave? eat your veggies too...no feedin em to the dog under the table.

Enough Mavs start showing up with mods in em and they may start to get some respect. I say do it...

 

if you have enough on your plate then I must have a serving platter full
TO MUCH STUFF

 

yup... ive been telling u that for a couple yrs now
