Hi Chris, Thanks very much for info on car. I just received short e mail with car photo and small amount of about build. The electronics tied into entire car seems to have been overcome and is important to find out how done while keeping A/C and if possible anti lock brakes from LS. The way I...

1LoudLS, see you took time to sign in and leave message in reply to my query same as you have done so often on this web sight before. That was point you could have been helpful or criticize other members. What is purpose?

Just wondered who had read of Davids Nortons Black widebody 2002 LS that was upgraded with rebuilt blown 4.6 and 5 speed. Powertrain was beefed and 4.6 was rebuilt with forged internals and has less than 20 lbs boost but puts out 900 hp. More power than I would want for street, and also used old...

Reply to KS on front to rear balance LS with 3.9. I could not fathum a car of this weight handling so well at hi speed on narrow two lane in "Keewanau " in UP of MI toward Brockway Moutain at north tip of western central UP. Stock 3.9 LS sport with only new Conti 255X45X17 tires and 90,000+...

You took on job very few would try, improvised with no obvious problems, and job looks terrific. As far as gasket upside down, no big deal at all. The overall job is very well done!

You have had serveral sweet old and fast cars. I recall a bare bones 5 speed 2.2 turbo GTS We had in Saginaw. I went to lunch after phone call from person on same, the caller came in within 15 minutes and bought the car then and there. Gal I worked with sold it. I am really glad tours ran as I...

I have had few faster cars but none as nice, fast, and good handling as LS sport. I am sorry Lincoln gave up so fast. Car business is tough and sure many folks at Lincoln would have loved to keep making rear drive and make it even better.

Same, I worked for short time for old friend from 1st job I had in freight transportation back when he started first trucking brokerage. (Perhaps we have gone too far off topic?) He brought in one son to work with me. Son once owned a AWD twin turbo Stealth that was monster in its time. He knew...

I would bet a turbo neon would run hard even stock and could be made faster fairly easy. Did you your LS run with Traction Control (Advance Trac) totally off ( brakes clamp on spinning tire and engine will reduce power quickly), was just partially engaged (engine will not reduce power but auto...

I due indeed. Mid Michigan LP, 04

You have that dead on as have tried to shift at 62-6300 and it cut off on me. I cringed when engine cut off and just backed up to about 6000 as you said 04_Sport_LS.

Had 89 T Bird for few years and liked old MN12 style. Motor was dead horse if not turbo and mine was not. However amonst many things I wated money and effort on to make car run better was B&M shift improver kit. The AOD was not connected to electronically to engine in any way. and in 90 it was...

Thanks very much Oddball. thanks also to Owlman for taking time to install much needed information. If have difficult time obtaining paperback 3 volume workshop set, his web link will be huge help over seat of the pants job atempt. I am of opinon that electrical workshop manual for LS is more...

Correct, Never wanted thread to go sideways and be useless as it did. I hope to contribute in positive way.
