I think the '88 continental is a FWD V6.

If it's one of the older 5.0 contis, you don't want that motor.

You want a 5.0 HP out of an 87+ Lincoln Mark 7

You don't want the motor out of the continental, even if it's a 302. Look for the '87+ LSC with the HO engine like mike said. The nice part about LSC motors is that they were all backed by autos and you know they weren't flogged as bad as the stang engines.
