Man I aint been in here for a minute! Came to look for an old Ripped Camel thread where he used a demolition hammer to remove his valve cover on his Mark... couldnt find it. Anywho, hows all the old peeps? Anyone from 2010 era still around? Frogman still alive? lol
Its been a hell of a run over...
Just thought I would check in with my extended family since its been so long I since I was here. So many good times and great friends from on here I feel bad for not coming around as much. Sapperfire gave me a ride home after I dropped off my Vette and while in his bad arse Mark VIII I realized...
Its with a heavy heart that my closest friend has lost his mother last night after a long battle with terminal illness. Jeremy aka Sapperfire is in Houston now and was with her when she passed. He is with family and her friends now, wish I could go down there as well but too much on my plate...

Just looking for some validation here and any possible shortcuts.
So I picked up this really clean 2001 Conti today with only 112000 miles on it. Body and interior are beautiful and engine runs spectacular. I was very skeptical about its very cheap price and 30 miles into the trip my fears...
I cant remember who it was but I think it may have been Ray. been so long I forget. :(
But I am looking for pics of that Mark that shaved the trunk light and cant remember if its the same one that moved the gas filler to behind the tail light and shaved the side moldings. Anyone have some...
I ask because when I run my LS through a system check it tells me the charging system is ok. I know this not to be true since the voltage is at 12.17 running or not. Tested at the alts output and readings are the same. I know the alt is bad, figured it was going to fail due to all the trans...
Didn't all LS V8 cars have the V8 badge? My 2000 just says LS and its centered so no way one was there before. Just curious.
Also are 2006 cars all pretty much LSE versions?
Oh yeah, anyone seeing any real gains with tune/intake/exhaust parts? I like the car enough that I am thinking...
OK, so I have this 2000 LS V8 I bought last week. On the drive home it seemed to have heat in the cabin. Well a few days ago there was no heat on the drivers side and not too much on the passenger side. Now there is almost no heat on the passenger side and none at all on the drivers side.
I...
Been a decade since I had an LS but I remember the stereos sounding better. Just bought a 2000 V8 with the Alpine system and it has no kick. There appears to be subs in the rear deck and I checked all 3 fuses in the kick panel but they are all good.
I realize this has prolly been covered a...
Now as Sapperfires car is nearing completion I am feeling the need for one of my own again. I think I will actively search for another 98 Grey LSC with black interior. That's the only combo I am interested in. Then build it up like my white one just with a little more modern trans and motor. :)...
As the title states I have some goodies for sale. A set of OEM Ford 8.8" 4.10 gears. Ford 8.8 28spline Trac Lok. Spider valve with the port to manually inflate your system. And a 93 drive shaft.
Open to all offers, not looking to get rich but just help out fellow mark enthusiasts.
No...
..... :(
Which is funny because I hate them. :D
I have owned many Mark VIIIs but holy hell I have had a lot of Caddys the last year. I was just about to go buy a 97 Mark VIII when I was forced to buy another Deville (first picture).
Thing is people seem to love them so they sell quick...
So some of you are aware of my new purchase and wanted some pics so here it is. Its a 1998 Jaguar XJR (was sold as a 99 but he lied). Has the 4.0 DOHC supercharged V-8 and the Benz ZF 5-Speed. Was bought as a beater and I knew it needed some love..... just didnt realize how much love.
My...
Alright, curiosity has gotten the best of me and I would like some knowledge dropped on my noggin. Yeah I play around with you LS guys but most of you know I am just playing and that I really dont have anything against the cars.
Did some research and found I really like how second gens are...
This man has the WORST luck with 4.6 DOHC motors. After much searching we ordered a low....ish mileage 4.6 from a salvage yard. They told me when removing it that they dammaged a valve cover. Figured since we had spares it really didnt matter since I was assured the motor was ok otherwise.
So...
Yeah yeah I know. After much grief over what I thought would be ok I tried three simpler designs and wanted everyones opinion as to which one would be the best. I value the opinions I get here and want to make the right choice.

Getting excited. Got the shop cleaned and ready for paint. Got the lifts inside just need to bolt them down now. Had to clean a crap ton of hydraulic fluid up though. Everyone got sprayed as the rams dropped. LOL.
Big CH 5hp air comp is on the way, got strut compressor (hydraulic) and trans...
