:p Knew that would grab some peoples attention. :D

In the 96-98 Cobras our engines are hand made by two guys. What about in the Mark? Were they hand made too or just run down an assembly line like all the other 2V 4.6's?

I too have been wondering this..

I couldn't tell ya... However I can tell you the Cobra engine in my Cobra is hand built. :p

cobra motors were assembled by "two man teams" not by "two men".

There were far more than two SVT engine builders, if you notice the names on the plaques they are different...not just the same names over and over.

I would assume it was an assembly line run, wouldn't ours have signatures on them as well if built by hand?

You could always take it out, tear it apart, and put it back together if it made you feel better to have an engine "built by hand."

nah probably not..
Lincoln Mark 8 owners aren't really "enthused" about vain things like plaques...like the mustang crowd is.

ANYTHING to make a mustang owner feel his car is "Special".. ya know?

it's marketing at it's best

Hell.. Lincoln tried to HIDE the entire motor from the owners

LMAO

I wish it wasnt a 3 hour drive to go kick you in teh nuts. :(


:p


I know that. I have had 4 Cobras and they were all built by different teams.... although two of them had McIntyre on the build team. My 03 SB Coupe and my 03 Anv Vert........ or was it the 97..... I forget for obvious reasons. :lol:

I was gonna mention that sometimes the first name was the same and the second was different as well.. but figgered it'd just make you wanna kick me in the nutz more.

just dont fly the helicopter into my face, as good as you fly it, there's no way you're gonna get by with "oopps sorry that was an accident".

I forget for obvious reasons.

was probably stored in the 96 million brain cells I killed...lol
Sorry

mcintyre is a strange name for a vato....
SVT stands for "some vato took" it from a lincoln parts bin....

Reminds me, gotta find this one video of a guy that was sick of this pair of tennis shoes on his power line so he put razor blades on his helicopter and cut them down. :lol:

Cobra engines were built by 2 2 man teams. My dad supervised them at romeo. And most of the 32v were hand rebuilt, because they has so many mess ups, lvl (low volume line) spent 7 12's fixing them for almost 2 years straight.

lol but likely true

the cam timing alone is a mass production nightmare..
i'd imagin they bounced a few valves back in the day

Actually it was a big honnor for the guys that hand built them. Alot of people applied for the job but only 4 were selected. Well if your cobra motor did break atleast you had to names to swear at, lol.
