Lincoln DOHC, what shoud i do with it? February 06, 2009, 11:09:07 PM As the title says, I have a DOHC 4.6 and a t-45:burnout: to do somthing with,I was going to put it in my 94' tbird but the ol' gal is getting to worn out! I was thinking of using it in a future day to day driver, but what shoud the car be? 87'/88' cougar? another less worn mn12? 83' to 88' tbird? The DOHC 4.6 would stay mostly stock i think, maybe exhaust and intake.what do you guys think?? Quote Selected

Lincoln DOHC, what shoud i do with it? Reply #7 – February 07, 2009, 03:23:59 PM I kinda like the idea of a 97' tbird or a 88' cougar...The newer bird would have more creature comforts, but the t-45 swap would be more diffucult. and in general, MN12s are harder to work on... Quote Selected
Lincoln DOHC, what shoud i do with it? Reply #8 – February 07, 2009, 09:56:44 PM is it from a FWD continental? if so, the bellhousing bolt pattern is different than a RWD block. meaning a custom bellhousing or adapter plate would be needed. Quote Selected

I think it also has six bolt mains and "B" heads..so I'll have to use The stock IMRC plates for low end torque production.. Quote Selected

I've only ever seen them In local salvage yards..:( Today I came across a great deal on a 88' cougar with a 3.8 in white...It has a good bit of rust around the rear wheel openings. ONLY $300! I guy I work with owns it and drives it daily. I'm not shure about the rust though. I think I could cut it all out and weld in new metal. Quote Selected
