Got my engine !

[Stangfreak95]

Finally had the time to buy and bring the "donar car" to my place.

Here it is: A 89 Lincoln Mark VII with the factory 302 HO with forged pistons

I'll have to start to unplug everything to remove the engine shorty. I'm moving as we speak and I'm at the appartement cleaning the place and I'm very busy.

To do this engine swap, here's what I got to change to fit my 95T:
- Upper intake is different. Need to put the stocker back on.
- Fuel rail is different. Need to put the stocker back on.
- Timing cover is different w/fan clutch. Need to put the stocker back on.
- Valve covers are different but might fit.

*Problem*
I sold a part without finding the stocker before.....my stock motor mounts. Turns out I cant find them and now I'm screwed cause I sold my Energy ones. I'm pretty certain the Lincoln ones will not fit.
If anybody has any 94-95 GT stock motor mounts, please let me know asap

Thanks

You had to buy the whole car ?

Looks like a lot of work....

No not the whole car. 400$ for the full engine. I got the Lincoln towed here tonight. The guy is in no rush of getting it back. I have all the time in the world to remove the engine. It's going to the scrapyard anyway. The owner wants the AOD, the tire and wheels and some accessories like the alternator.

Ok I got it.

Sounds like a deal !

Well I thought the 94-95 was different than the fox but they are in fact identical. It's the Lincoln's I'm not sure. Some guy at Campbell Ford said he was pretty sure they werent the same..

Yeah but that lincoln is a fox body! It shares the same k-member as the thunderbird and whatnot... It even has the same lines as a Thunderbird if you look at the A-piller, door, and front fenders a little...
