my friend might be picking up a lincoln mk8 from a auction.
Would anyone be interested in the motor? for fairly low km

SPEED FREAK said:don't forget the forged crankshaft and aluminum block... and sheesh you guys since when have you been afraid of a cam and intake swap. Bottom line a dohc 4.6 is better than a sohc 4.6 any day of the week. OH and the extra 1500 rpm worth of red line doesnt hurt either.

Red2000GT said:Older 4V's didn't have the forged crank. Intake swap? To what? Any intake worth swapping to requires new heads. Cam swap? LOL,phone Graham (the mechanic) and ask him how much fun it is to swap cams on my engine(he's still working on it 7 days later). I'd hate to put anyone through a full 4 cam swap.

When the time comes, it will be a long block, cams, smaller pulley and a nice tune.
Correction...Gen I's are from '93-'96, Gen II's are from '97-'98. And all Mark's VIII's were rated at 280hp (290LSC), not just the '96-up.TGJ said:What year is the Mark VIII? The Mark VIII was made from 93 - 98. 93 - 95 was a Gen I, 96 - 98 was a Gen II. The Mark VIII is very similar motor wise to the 96 - 98 Cobra. Also if it is a 96+ Mark, the HP rating was 280 for the base and 290 for the LSC, the difference was the factory tune, same motor though. How many KMs? How much are looking to get for it?

And for those interested, the swap is neither easy, nor cheap. Have fun
Correction.....'99 and '00 2V Mustang engines were designated "Windsor's" all others have been designated "Romeo's" (although there seem to be one or two that slip by in either account). All 4V blocks regardless of the year are classified as "Romeo" engines. The earlier block castings were cast by Teksid (in Italy), their cranks were forged by Gertach in Germany, but all were built in Michigan by 2-man teams in Fords Romeo plant.fine99 said:Only some of the '99 GT's had Windsor motors as the remainder from '99-'04 had Romeo's. To tell look at the id tag in the car's engine bay (left fender..)if there is a W in it as in 1FW.....then it is a Windsor.
