      Looks impressive, anyway. What's the current combo on that car?

        Right now the recipe is pretty simple:
        Stock Lincoln 5.0 block, crank, connecting rods, bored to 306
        Speed Pro hyper pistons
        ARP rod bolts
        GT40 3 bar heads with 1.7 roller rockers and 3 angle valve job and dual valve springs <- this combo wakes it up after 4000rpms
        GT40 Lower Intake
        Exploder Upper intake
        67mm lightning EGR spacer, 65mm TB
        running stock HO cam advance 4* with 19lb injectors and Mark VII ECU with speed density, 10* of timing - 87 octane
        AC and Smog pump deleted
        Heater core bypassed
        Warm air intake
        Taurus electric fan
        Rebuilt stock AOD with shift kit and B&M 2000 stall
        stock 3.27 open rear end
        17" wheels

          Just got done with some reliability mods to make the twins happier... Taurus fan, 195* superstat, dual transmission coolers (one in rad, one external) Only stuff I SHOULD do before I add all that power is the BB and rear axle with discs, for safety reasons.

              Ahh, update. Still amassing parts for the Big Brake upgrade and and mass air conversion. So far I have spindles, calipers & brackets, pads, rotors, and a 80mm maf. Now I just need the A9l or a9p or a9m computer from a mustang, some 92-94 upper control arms, and a good set of upper and lower balljoints and ES bushings.

                  update: mega junkyard score, somebody Cash4Clunker'd 2 foxes, a 90' and a 92' both with A9L computers. Yard here charges 43.99 for computers so I grabbed both and sold one on ebay for $120 and made my money back and got mine for free. Now all I need is the harness and the MAF conversion is on!

                        Just ordered the Mass-Air conversion harness off of ebay. I will start as soon as it gets here. Maybe I will do a detailed how-to with pictures for the MAF conversion on a box Town Car.

                            Not yet, I decided to wait until after I go to New York over spring break in mid-march.

                              Anabelle has been my daily driver for a while, so not much headway has been made as of yet. I do have all the parts for the MAF conversion and it should be going down here soon. I just gotta get one of my other projects rolling so I can take her down for a while.

                                the junk in my sig is SD, but you are better off going maf

                                are you gonna run an fmu or bigger injectors?

                                seems like 42's and a lightning 90mm maf would the way to go, but being blow through; you'll definately need a serious tune, mail order probably wont cut it
