Billy,

Hinges on how little we can get the car for. Have to chuckle a little here, just never thought of a 4 door Lincoln as a "race car"! If we do this, correct me if my initial thinking is wrong. I figure the minimum I need to run the car, headers, I haven't researched this at all. Does anyone make headers for a Lincoln? Get a posi unit, if the car doesn't have one, or a mini-spool. A gear set, this has an 8.8, as suggested by Almack, a 4:88 or deeper gear, suggestions for a 4000 lb car? As mentioned, I have a set of wheels. Anyone in the Indiana-Kentucky-Ohio area got any old used fronts or slicks with some life left in them that you don't want to retire off of, LOL!That'd be enough for me to take it to the track.
