4.6 N/A DOHC and 5.0 TT/SC questions...

[tupacglock]

Hello, I have many questions regaurding the possibility of a Lincoln Mark VIII as my first car! This is a show car, not a race car, but I was hoping ot make it be able to take most of the ricers (not that it cant already with 280HP @tc stock) around town. There are a lot of them. I have a freind who is in the Repo business and he says that if I am looking for a car with a good body and no engine/tranny he would be able to hook me up. I have a couple of questions, but first I will give you a little back ground information on the car I am looking to get/build.

I have two routes to go down, heres number one:

Lincoln Mark VIII (4.6 DOHC)
18" Diablo Vienna Rims
K&N Intake filter
Headers
Cat Back Excaust
ECU
Modified Air Suspension Solenoid (In-Dash Controls )
Darker Tint
Audio Mods
I was thinking I would see around 250WHP

Number 2:
1)Buy a Lincoln Mark VIII with no engine/tranny
2)Get an 86-93 5.0
3)Of course I/H/E
4)Stock 5.0 Tranny/Clutch/Fly
5)Twin Turbo or Supercharger? Which do you reccommend? I am not that familiar with 302s, I know these are both popular choices, does the 5.0 put out its power mostly at high or low RPMs? If high ill go TT if low Ill go centerfugal sc.
6)Cam setup
7)Fuel pump
8)oil pump
9)fuel rail
10)ECU
11)Injectors
12)FMIC
13)What turbos/SC should I get? (I am a bit partial to Garrett, but I am not dead set)
14)What size wastegate?
15)I dont want a kit! Got any advice for custom bent piping?
16)Anything to expect as far as axels, suspension, etc? I will probably rpeplace my springs with some that are a bit tougher, but thats it, dont want to lose that Lincoln ride, plus lets not forgte the stock airbags.
17) Will all the engine parts/work (done by myself + free labor + free lift ) be able to be completed for under 4500 for just the engine/tranny/mods? If not what price range am I looking at?

What will I need to mount this? The 302 is a smaller engine (in terms of the block size) than the 4.6 DOHC correct? What do I need as far as wiring? I know my fair share, and I will probably have my Aunt (who drove a 302 Fairlane till the wheels fell off, literally, same engine never rebuilt, lasted many many years) help em out a bit. Still I am new to engine swaps, any advice? What would I be looking at in terms of RWHP or HP @TC?

Can't someone help me? They are both mustang engines.

Never seen some so complicated in my life. Just get one or the other, mustang or lincoln. Whew...

I am getting a lincoln, I am deciding which engine I want in it, the stock 4.6 DOHC Cobra engine, or the 5.0 LX/GT engine.

I had considered a long while getting a lincoln (got the VIII/MN12 Twin-Thunderbird.) Personally, i would go with the 4.6L. Oh yeah, go to http://www.lincolnsonline.com Im a member over their too

I already posted this exact post over there.

I agree with them. Get the MarkVII-its much more sleeper-like with its big ass chrome bumpers.

[tupacglock]

I dont want the Mark VII for a myriad of reasons. Mainly I would prefer the 4.6 DOHC, tuns of mods for it for the future. I am thinking I will get an 8 bolt cobra forged crank, ECU, Intake Filter, Headers, 2.5" CB Exaust, and several other mods

i used to want a lincoln because i dont know i could peel out with it. i dont care about anything else, i modify to get more smoke cause im cool.

Get a 4.6, then supercharge or turbo it. It'll rape any ricer that comes your way.
