Mine has an estimated 250 but I'm not sure because i don't know the compression ratio.

you know your right. even my father agrees the last true lincoln look was 1989. i own a 1995 and its a great car, but the style of the 80s lincoln town car was just unbelieveable. they were definitly a car that was used to ride in style. better than those big bulky cadillacs.

however, even though the 4.6L SOHC V8 is much more efficient and more powerful than the 5.0L, lincolns are not meant to be for racing. they are land yahts. they are meant to cruise and show off, not to race. they are meant to keep super clean and super nice looking and super comfortable. However, I have taken the advantage of dropping a 4.6L DOHC Cobra V8 in my Town Car, just in case someone thinks they can outrun my land yaht/muscle car.

but remember, yea they are fast cars, but believe me, they last a lot longer if you take care of them. if you want to race cars, then you should have bought a mustang and not a town car.

oh i forgot to mention, i did have transmission work done so the engine can handle an automatic transmission. but like i said, i dont race my town car and i never will. i just added that extra power just in case some1 thinks that ford is Found On Road Dead or Fixed Or Repaired Daily. Because I tell you right now, they are not. Luxury and Power all in one car. And if I recall, Ford has been using the same 4.6L engines in their vics, marquis, town cars, etc for how many years now? if i recall, gm and other motor companies (except honda off the top of my head) have changed their engines and used different ones many times. If i recall, the 4.6L arrived in early 91 and is still the same engine used today, just tweaked. so it just goes to show u that ford is all that it should be - reliable. you take care of the car, it will take care of you
