This engine has me wondering.
I saw another thread about the 96-98 Mustang GT and I do not know the differnce between the 94 Lincoln 4.6 and the 96-98 Mustang 4.6.

Anyway, the concensus of the thread was that the 96-98 Mustang makes a good Pure Stocker. Not sure about an NHRA Stocker tho.

Not sure on this, but I was thinking the '90-99 Town Car was based on the Panther chassis. (Crown Vic)
If so, then there is where you would look for headers.

Problem with IHRA pure stock. The weight breaks stop at I/PS, which is a 16.00 break. This car is way above that. These engines "should" be basically the same as the 96-98 Mustang? This is the 2 valve engine. Ford went to the 3 valve in 1999, I believe.

As my partner Tod says, "we can probably get the car for next to nothing". If we can't do anything with it. I'll just strip it out and sell the shell for scrap.

Yeah, it would at the least need headers, a converter and a posi unit and some gear. I have a set of wheels, just need a set of front tires and a set of slicks. If we end up with it, probably just do a simple tune up on it, check over for safety, brakes and such. Just take it to one of the local strips, see just how far off it is. I'll take it somewhere and weigh it first. Give me an idea of what we're up against.
