engine conversion

This area is for those who need help modernizing their Lincoln for purposes other than strict restoration. Such questions can be about adding an electric fuel pump, adding fuel injection, boosting horsepower or gas mileage, or tightening or lowering the suspension. Body customizing and chopping can also be here (although this practice is not encouraged by the LCOC).

Mike,
I have the perfect solution.

1) Buy a '79 Town Car in relatively decent condition.

2) Pull the 400M engine and put it in your Continental.

3) Now that there is a huge gaping hole in the '79, acquire a 460 and drop it in there to plug it up. Will bolt right up to the C6 trans, like it was made for it (it was ! [img]images/smiles/icon_cool.gif[/img] ).

4) The '79 will Thank You by shrieking one or both of its rear tires (hopefully with you behind the wheel, and not chasing after it [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] ).

Well, it sounds completely plausible to me, and I'm sure the Lincoln spirits will smile on it [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
