    Forged rebuild or swap?

    I found this on craigslist http://southbend.craigslist.org/pts/2530238436.html seen a similar set up before? That manifold would have to go off tops.

    Forged rebuild or swap?

    So what did you end up doing for the fuel rails? What about the fuel line how much did that cost to custom make?

    Hey whats up man? I heard from here http://www.lincolnvscadillac.com/showthread.php?t=76914 about a swap you just did. "hmm.i suggest something like what driller just did. he took a 5.0 modular block, put a 5.0 stroker kit in it, and came out to 5.3 liters. most recent dyno sheet showed about...

    Which motors will fit?

    Will any 5.4 from a ford truck or navigator bolt up to a 96 town car without modification? Or only certain years? Can I keep the stock transmission? How about a 4.6 from a Lincoln Mark?

    Forged rebuild or swap?

    If I go with the 5.4, will I need to find a computer for it? Will the mpg indicator and the gauges work? How does that work?

    Forged rebuild or swap?

    I guess the 5.4 has some issues with the spark plugs due to poor head design or something like that. Does anyone know anything about this or know of some discussions on this?

    Forged rebuild or swap?

    Oh yeah, P.S., I am looking on upping the power on this baby but I don't want to go too much past 400, and I want it super reliable.

    Forged rebuild or swap?

    I guess I need to make some calls and find out if it bolts right up with no or minimum modification. I doubt it won't bolt right up though.

    Forged rebuild or swap?

    The v10 is 140 pounds more. I kind of shied away from that idea though because I think its going to get hugely expensive. Maybe in the future I will build another town car and call it the super town car. I was thinking about the Mark viii motors but the 5.4 has more low end torque which sounds...

    Forged rebuild or swap?

    Can't I just use the same sensors and run a piggy back though? Also I'm kind of weary of just throwing a used motor in there. I guess its not bad but I know I am going to prefer to rebuild it. So why not rebuild this one instead of buying one to rebuild. I figure a rebuilt engine like that will...

    Forged rebuild or swap?

    So yeah my 96 town car (100k) had the runs/diarrhea (oil leak) for a little while before finally taking a dump. I kept adding oil but recently the leak got incredibly huge and before it stopped running on a highway off ramp. It sounded like a Ferrari briefly before it died. You know that...

    I got a new car!!!

    My exhaust is already a dual one. I'm trying to stay away from chips because they stress the motor out. My mileage evened out to 16.5 right now. Check out what I found http://www.hotrod.com/techarticles/engine/hrdp_0804_ford_4_6_engine/bbk_performance_headers.html Too bad it is carbureted ...

    I got a new car!!!

    Thanks Vitali, I think it will hit 13. Werent these cars designed to be taxi cars? They should of made them more economical. The 4.9 was way more economical but then again it had 20-30 hp less and weighed 3600 lb. Has anyone done PI swaps on their town car? Does the PI manifold look different...

    I got a new car!!!

    Hello everybody, I decided to join today because I always end up here from google anyways, and now I have a 96 Lincoln because it was cheap (1800) and only has 101k on it. I want to swap parts out with the PI parts eventually, like the intake manifold, heads, cam, convert to electric fan...
