Chris, your "fleet" is incomparable. The addition of a stick shifted Coyote blows my admittedly weak brain. Keep us posted. I live my Mark dream alter-ego through you.

i'm slacking on updates, but hope to do more soon.
the engine is sitting in the car now, but there is still much to do.
i got the wheels and tires mounted for it the other day, as well as acquired my 14" front brake kit for the car.
i'll try to get some more photos uploaded soon.

update.
not a ton has happened.
when i had time, i didnt have money.
now i have some money, doesn't seem like i have the time..
anyway, excuses aside.
the motor is actually in the car now. not for good, i needed to test fit to be sure it would fit.
subframe will need to come back out for powdercoat and bracing.
these are brakes i have for it.
V calipers and gt500 rotors. the eagle eyed among us may remember them being on lobirds car.
a shot of the sump on the aftermarket pan.
i raised the engine a half inch to clear the pan DLF style.
3 core radiator for the car. a sneak peak of the cai that came with the engine.
an mt82, a 3650, and a 4r70 in the back.
mt82 with a barton shifter for this car. 6060 when i break that.
the modded spindles and the coyote fuel tank.
plan is to convert the mark tank to returnless, and wire the coyote fpdm to run a new fuel pump in the mark tank.
my intake and stack of clutches. i have too much stuff in here.
some of my other plans include converting to an electric steering pump so i dont need to mount a pump on the engine.
going to to try to reuse the mark ac compressor and lines, someone makes a kit. and use the coyote alternator. we'll see how that goes.
also looking into some long tube options. something that will clear the steering shaft.
need to get back at this. been too long.

Didn't realize you ended up with Alans Cadillac V calipers. It was a while back, when I went to his house and he was able to show me how he was able to make those fit his Mark VIII. Just amazed how much mechanical talent he and others like you have done with our cars.
Can't wait to see more update photos.

Been a year, where are we now?

it runs now...
used an frpp control pack for it.
figuring out the cooling system so it can idle more than a few seconds.
need to measure for a driveshaft too.
chris2523
93 Mark VIII
no new pics because everything looks the same but...
ordered a driveshaft, should be built soon.
put the clutch master in with some braided line and AN adapters, clutch seems to work but hard to tell until i have a driveshaft.
mt82 has a pretty deep 1st gear so i have a 3.08 track lock pumpkin to start off and will adjust by feel later.
got some coolant hoses figured out and was able to get the engine up to operating temp. tstat and fan work and it has oil pressure.
all looking good.

car is mobile under its own power now.
brakes still squishy, not sure what's up there.
installed a volvo electric power steering pump.
probably gonna move the battery to the trunk.
not sure the hood is gonna clear.
lots of little things left to do but its cool that I don't have to push anymore.
