Ancient post but I will chime in anyway. It's August 7th 2024 and I'm still daily driving my LS. Just went into limp mode on the way home from work. It was starting an intermittent miss a week ago and it looks like it shit the bed today. Nursed it home through Atlanta traffic (stressful). Time...
Replace the thermostat housing. See the pics of a failed part with 78K miles off my 2006. You can see the collapsed boss in the red circle that the thermostat pushes against. The thermostat will never fully open and the car will overheat. Get Motorcraft parts and change the thermostat while...

K&N install
That filter kit said it fit the T-bird. It does fit the LS but in order to make the plate really seal the inner fender well for max benefit I had to mill the slots longer in the mounting bracket. This moved the plate outward about 1.5" for a better (more effective) fit. I'll post...
