~80mm...
Yes I did it on my 95, open element, larger maf..heat sheild to prevent radiator heat from entering the maf..the whole 9 yards..
and the car slowed down, and stayed 3 tenths slower until I tossed in the towel and put the stock air box, meter and paper filter back in the car.
The OEM mark 8 air box is a very well engineered peice, unlike many other cars that have crappy air boxes..cars with crappy air boxes benifit from an open filter arrangment due to the OEM crappy air box.
With the mark 8 this simply isn't the case.
Stick with the OEM box, and a good filter and spend your money some other place that will actually give you some "bang for the buck" like getting a "good solid tune file" on the car. THAT will "wake up the beast from within" and you wont be doing BS "ricer mods" on your Lincoln.
P.S. I put over 5000 passes on my 95, so my experience wasn't just a couple of passes that could have been skewed by weather conditions.
I spent two full years battling/searching for the lost ET that open element filter stole from my car.

I have a 4 inch adapter with an K&N cone filter on my '96 with the stock MAF shielded by the stock airbox. 
You would have to know what to look for to notice.

don't do it without the ice box from lms, otherwise you will be sucking in all the hot motor bay air in
