Hey guys.......I don't know if you are active on the other Mark sites as well, but I figured this needed posted on here. I'm trying to become more active on ALL of the Lincoln forums, cause the boys over on CZ28.com are'nt very interested in my new project.

Anyway, It's my 94' MarkVIII with a T-45 swapped in to it. I am NO where near done with it. Not only do I have all of the finishing touches to do on it, but I have a half finished Blown 5.2 Stroker sitting on the engine stand waiting to go in. Anyway, Hope you like it...I know I do. Mike

Ahem.........It's the same guy.

Yes, it would prolly be a good idea to go with a T-56, IF you have the rear gears to support it. Either that or change the 5th and 6th gear set to give you the proper cruise RPM's.

The ONLY reason I did'nt go with a 6-speed in the first place is because knew I would be pulling the engine soon anyway. I am working on getting the wiring for the speedo done, and after that It should be FULLY functional.

Joey. I would be more than happy to help get a tech article whipped up for ya. It may take me some time to look through all of my notes. And type em out. But i'm not going to do anything till I have all of the bugs worked out. Thanks for the response guys. Hope to have some more pics for ya soon. Mike

Why not?

I'll tell ya what guys, I got a little mad at my mark this evening and it got the best of me. The door was frozen shut on the passenger side, so I yanked on it a little too much. The handle snapped off in my hands, and sent me in to a cussing fit. I think I need to get away from the car for a while.

It's already been fixed. One of my bestfriends works at a collision center. I just have to go pick up the car.
