My '77 Mark V

[Mr. Land Yacht]

Here's our '77 Lincoln Mark V that we've had for about 4 years now.
The color is Canyon red with a white leather interior.
It currently has 72K miles on its 400ci engine.
My nickname for this car is Cherry Bomb!

[89LincolnTWNcar]

is it fast? I always wonder how fast those old 400 and 460 Mark V's are. I bet with a good cam and some cobrajet heads, it would make power.

[85MercPark]

my 77 LTD had the 400 with and edelbrock cam and 4bbl. Ran pretty darn good but no real top end, could have been an RV cam

[Mr. Land Yacht]

That Mark V has good low end, but no high end.
it's kinda slow.
it's about as fast as a stock 5.0 panther.

[Grand Marquis GT]

Really wanna wake it up? Put a moderate cam in it, with the timing set straight up, with a 4bbl and good intake..

Port the exhaust logs, and you will have a real runner! The heads werent terrible on them, but the cam sucked, and was retarded 4 degrees from the get-go! (emissions shit)

Plus, they only had like 8.5:1 compression, or less...

[grandpaslincoln]

:drool:

I love that color!!

[zwack88]

VERY NICE! Canyon Red I will have to remember that. I want a dark red for the top half of my vic when I paint it.

[gadget73]

White interior in a red car is hot. My mom had an 81 Cordoba with that color scheme and I loved it.

FUCKING :drool:age!!!!

yea, down the road I was planning on putting in a edelbrock intake and carb...and putting a bigger cam in...along with dual exhaust.

[89LincolnTWNcar]

Cobrajet heads fit right? My dream Lincoln is a Mark V with a .500 or higher lift cam, Cobrajet heads, huge edelbrock intake, and dual quads.

[88MercWagon]

89Lincoln- No the Cobrajet heads are for big block FE motors, i.e. the 460. The 400ci was a small-black based design with a raised deck height. I don't know much else about those motors, so I'm sure someone else will chime in with more info.

[Grand Marquis GT]

You could bolt 4V quench cleveland heads on em, tho :D

Mercracer always is telling me about a killer 400 Cleveland motor he wants to build.

351M/400 are cleveland based...

[89LincolnTWNcar]

oh i meant a Mark V with the 460. ferget the 400 lol.

[1987LTDmasta]

i'd sell my LTD for one of those

[grandpaslincoln]

It reminds me of a dark cherry Tootsie roll pop lol

[Jason_GMQ91]

I love 1977 Continental Mark V Emilio Pucci Edition! :drool:

[Sanitarium 73]

I like...one of my closest friends has a '77 as well, but it is not as nice. I'll include a picture:

As for how fast they are, I have experience. The '91 CV I used to have, bone stock except duals, whooped it. However, my current '88, before duals and whatnot, couldn't keep up.

Very nice!

[88MercWagon]

Holy surface rust, Batman! Nice car though, looks like a good project.

[Sanitarium 73]

Yeah, there is plenty of surface rust, but it is dependable...it has not let him down yet, in over months of owning it.

[Dave84]

[Mr. Land Yacht]

it's starting to get a little rust on it, but we'll get some body work doen eventually.

I just love american float boats. only one problem, floor it and watch the speedo climb, and the gas needle decline.
