Since I've had a lot of free time lately I decided to start modding my 1989 lincoln towncar, since it has basically the same 5 liter motor as all of our cars. I recently did a head/intake swap on the mustang so I plan on using the stock parts on the lincoln.
So far I've swapped upper/lower intake manifold, rigged up a cold air kit, stock headers/H pipe dumped, no mufflers. Thats about it right now, I dont see the need for mufflers, it still a little too quiet. I want to swap on my stock throttle body as well but it looks like I'll have to give up cruise control? Right now it runs just as perfect as stock. It actually seemed to respond to the mods pretty well, definate up in power. Anyone know how much of a hp gain I am looking at by swapping cylinder heads? I may have the e7's ported a little on the exhaust side. With it being speed density I am a little hesitant to swap them, I really dont want to give up much stock drivability. I would of course use my 19lb injectors over the stock 14lb. The other option I am looking into is just swapping the 19lbers in, and DIY single turbo, I am really only looking for about 275RWHP. But I really want it to drive as stock since it'll be driven daily. I know this isn't a lincoln forum but hopefully someone knows some specs on the cylinder heads they came with. Any help is appreciated.
