Morning everyone!

Speaking of Lincolns, anyone ever own a Mark VIII? They seem like nice cars, as long as the suspension doesn't crap out.

Yup, neat cars but parts are expensive and the front suspensions wear out fairly quickly.....as far as suspension, converting to coils is a piece of cake.

Yup and I can imagine what would happen to the transmission

Ah cool, if I were to get one I'd probably want to convert to coils. Sweet cars though, they seem fun to drive.

Not so much fun to own...Price a few parts like headlights and it's enough to make you run away. I had a nice '96 LSC....parted it out for the drivetrain to put in my Marauder.

Im pretty sure they never designed it for twins period. "ooh, lets make it strong enough to where if someone wants to, they can throw another 300hp on top of the 6,000lb beast and we want the tranny to not ever give them issues. Oh theres a shortage on titanium? well crap, forget that idea"

Well If I was in charge of the engineering team it would have been made for that! There would be ZERO warranty issues pertaining to transmission failures

I just realized, this will make post 14,999 for me. Do i wait and make the 15k one meaningful and significant or waste it on something trivial.
