The question I have is the 4.6 capable of making this 3800 lb behemoth run under the index. I can get the car for nothing or next to it... What would it take to get under index. Gears, convertor... WHere would you get some headers ?

Any of the guys that build headers, even Billy could do it ! But they will need the car to do the job.

Your 94 could run : ......Q/SA @ 3570 w/driver. Or, R/SA @ 3780 ( natural class) Or, T/SA @ 3990 lbs. 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.

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.

I knew the Town car was not a good choice for IHRA Pure Stock. As an NHRA Stocker or IHRA EFI Stocker I would think the TCar would need a 4.56 gear, a 4000 + stall , lightweight wheels/tires, lightweight brake rotors, electric fans, and special long duration cams. I would say that 2V could rev, so that would be the key. You ought to try the combo and let us all know if the car gets close to the index. ![]()

Looks like a few of you have done some detective work on this Lincoln and I'd say "Go for it!". It really can't be a bad combo, if it fits T it should run the index. How fast will a Pure Stock Mustang go?
