[MYTURN]

[vr4]

[Jibit]

im 99% sure they are C heads.

they are, the same as the cobra's

 

[mespock]

Wow... what a day nothing better than a trip down memory lane in a Bone Yard...

$1500 for that 94... guy's got to be on crack...

 

[NYC LS8]

I'm with mespock. No way I'd pay 1500 or anything close to that for that thing .

I hate working on my old '95 because there's no room to really get at stuff. I couldn't imagine working on that Conti lol

A 4R70W wont bolt up to a conti 4.6 DOHC, and I think they are B heads because that motor is identical to a mark VIII and that intake only bolts to a B heads.

 

[Psychostang]

Sometime in 99, ford started using the "C" heads in the continental. They manufactured an adapter, to allow the "B" head intake manifold to bolt to the "C" head. This would be good for someone who wants to do a "C" head conversion and get rid of the imrc's, but still use the original intake manifold. I'm not sure on the block. I know you can't use the front cover.

Sheez, that thing looks better than mine (other than the suspension,) guess I'm just screwed if I go to sell mine.

I think $750 tops for the Mark VIII. I have passed on a few around here in similar condition that were less than a grand.

Bone yards are great fun! Buy a few bits....and steal a few bits! Lol. :shifty:

C heads. The heads and intake will bolt right up under a Gen-I. If you can get them dirt cheap and install them yourself it might be worth it...

 

[96mark8]

are the C heads in that conti as good as 03/04 cobra heads?

 

[shiryu0]

should be the same, except the cams, no?..........gonna go back this week and see how much i can get them for.......its gonna be FUN getting them out :shifty: ..........lolol

 

[96mark8]

thats cool tell us how much he wants cuz i am thinking of doing a C head swap to. And cuz there out of a linclon he might be to dumb to know they are the same as a cobra and sell em cheaper.

 

[formerknown]

should be the same, except the cams, no?

Similar design, slightly different cams. 03/04 Cobra stuff will bolt-up to that stuff, but not vice-versa.

[shiryu0]
