I submitted this over at the Power Adder and 4.6L boards, but they often doesn’t get a lot of viewing, so I thought I’d ask the same question over here…..
....I’m thinking of selling off both my Mustang and my Cougar and buying a Lincoln Mark VIII. I’ve always loved the Mark VIII’s (GEN I or GENII), but although they’re by no means gutless, they’re still a lot of car to move. My plan would be to install some sort of positive displacement blower to the car. Does anyone know if the KB charger designated for the ’96-’98 Cobra’s would work on this car. I’m not too concerned with hood clearance, I just want a trouble free instillation. I know they sell a couple of set ups for the centrifugal type blower (Vortech) but I really like the idea of the low end grunt that the positive displacement blower adds. I’m not wanting to go crazy with the boost, but an extra 100-120fwhp would be nice. What are everyone’s thoughts?

there is a lot of info over in the lincoln section at www.fordvschevy.com assuming the guys that used to be there still go there.
I know for a fact a couple guys have blown marks and its a hot thing in my opinion.

I have seen a few others, including one KB.. it was a GenII Mark. You have to trim some of the underhood supports to clear the KB. also see www.markviii.org and www.mark8.org....
I was going that route prior to buying the Cobra.. the Mark is now my daily driver and a heck of a car...
