DOHC build suggestions wanted

Mustangscotty · 10-08-2010, 11:11 PM

Recently acquired a 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII 4.6L DOHC motor. I believe it has a lot of miles on it, more than 100K. Donor car was rear ended.. The engine is complete with accessories, brackets, stock headers and wire harness. The engine starts and runs smoothly.

The motor looks clean but I'll still rebuild it.

Also acquired a Paxton Novi 2000 supercharger, new set of injectors and 90mm Mass air conversion.

Any suggestions for the engine build? The intake will be a Wilson with tall runners.

This is the engine that will go into the 67' Fastback project next spring.

unless you are buying your rotating assy used I say go with Eagle, Kellog went up earlier in the year on their cranks.

What year Mark VIII did it come from? Where's the car located? I may want parts off of it....

edit: oops, i see that you said 98. Still, I want parts!
