    400 whp with turbo for $3945, including the price of buying the Lincoln Mark VIII !

    From what I understood in the video, boost was set @ 10 psi but somehow it jumped up to 15 psi during the run. I'm sure with some patience & more tuning/refining, the MK VIII is just fine with boosted power.

    Exhaust too loud with Flowmasters

    I've used the Hooker Aero-Chamber mufflers on my 1994 Crown Vic & 1996 Gran Marquis, both with 4.6 v8. No drone, cabin stays quiet, but WOT they make beautiful noise out of the tailpipe. Highly recommended. My current 1997 MK VIII has true mandrel bent dual exhaust, manifold cats only, X-pipe...

    What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

    Had to do same thing last week, except mine was worse as the oil pressure sender bung was cracked. Could not locate a replacement oil filter adapter locally, so had a shop (Cylinder Head Repair - Wichita KS) cut off damaged portion & weld on some aluminum stock, drilled & tapped for new oil...

    What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

    Last week, L/H front air bag finally let go. Installed (2) Westar air struts. Appear to be working ok, but there were a couple of glitches during install. The lower bolt hole to mount strut to lower control arm is too small & had to be drilled out. Also, the solenoid valve tabs are half the...

    Can the Air Suspension system be disabled @ highway speeds?

    Will it still self level when passengers or cargo are added? I thought w/the switch off it turns the complete system off.

    Can the Air Suspension system be disabled @ highway speeds?

    Has anyone tried or accomplished disabling the automatic lowering function when the car reaches the 45 - 50 mph threshold? I have my Mark VIII sitting at just the ride height I like for looks & comfort below highway speeds, but when it lowers itself above 45 - 50 mph, it is a harsh ride with...

    What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

    Ha, those pics could have been take of my MK VIII! Same leak, & so far same fix - NONE. Mine is not enough to justify changing the pan gasket yet. Just enough to make an annoying mess. Hardly any oil qty drop between changes.

    What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

    Had to change #6 coil, as it died on the way home from work today. It's amazing how one dead cylinder makes it run like crap! Smooth as a sewing machine again........a 4 cam, 32 valve, 2nd gear tire chirping screamin' sewing machine!

    What did you do to your Mark VIII today?

    Replaced the heater core in my '97 base MK VIII this weekend. Not fun @ all! :Bang I'm a fairly decent mechanic & to those that claim they replaced their heater core in 4 hours, I call B.S.!!! If you REALLY completed the job in 4 hours, I'm not worthy!:Beer

    Mark VIII Air Ride / Vehicle Height Question

    Bouncy ride meaning it is soft? Continues going up & down (oscillating) after going over bump or dip in the road? From your pics, your car sits quite high. Using the instructions given to you by todd2fst4u, lower your car to a height you prefer & test drive. Remember, @ highway speeds (I...
