    There was, but it went away and the staff haven't figured out how to get it back.

      Matt, exhaust sounds really nice! And for CFI it really does haul ass. If that was only 4 horns wired up at the time, I'm a little anxious to hear them all. They are really loud. The JBL speakers really do make a difference, and I can't wait to see how you do the total JBL system, including the cd changer!

            so yesterday i drove to johns house and picked up vicky's old engine. i swapped him for parts he needed. so today i got the whole engine disassembled. saved only the crankshaft and engine block itself. all the other parts are junk that will be replaced with new stuff. here are some pics of the progress. i got rid of all the internal parts of the engine and got $16 for all of the stuff at the scrapyard. on monday i will go back to the scrapyard and scrap the lower intake and upper intakes which are aluminum which should sell for a good $15-20 bucks towards the new engine parts. I am looking for a place in pa to have the engine block machined it needs to be machined before assembled(if you know someone good please tell me). in the mean time i am picking up parts from a mercury mountaineer in the junkyard and other misc stuff.

              Are the cd changers the same as the Mark VIII and later town cars? I've seen a few of them...

                i think so as long as the plug on them is a squarish 6 pin connector.

                  time for an update. i upgraded the horns to the new style horns they came off of a 2000 CV. I am looking for 5 more sets though for the grand total of 14 horns. the horns are damn loud in person. i have a video but my camera catches sound horribly so it sounds much better in person. At Scottfest i will have a total of 4 horns hooked up.

                  also have another video coming up soon to show the awesomeness of the jbl head unit + ipod with 2458 songs = wicked badass music.
