There should be a tab on the tank that locates the pump/sender piece in there the right way. Also that WTF vent if a fuel vapor vent of some sort. It also closes in a rollover.

Grats.  There's a 86 on C-list right now with 56k original owner miles, I'm sooo temptet to go look at it.  They want like 4800 for it, but it looks to be in fiiiiine ass shape.

Dont unbend the metal on the edges of the tank there supposed to be like that and if you straighten it could leak!

Not sure if 86 or 87 was the first year of the forged piston / Mustang H.O. equipped Lincolns.
  I think it was the 87's.

All I know is that our 89 Bill Blass has a fantastic 5.0 H.O. engine with a perfect dead-on calibration because it gets 26 mpg with cruise and a/c on.  No kidding!

The LSC has the heavier duty air bags and sway bars. That is why the LSC weighs more. 

I weighed our BB without driver and with 1/4 tank of fuel and it weighed 3675 lbs.  Not bad for the largest fox body of all time.

Also, it ran 71 mph in the 1/8th

With traction that was a 9 second car.  Man that car pulled hard at mid track.

26mpg hwy seems about right; I average around 20-23 just regular everyday driving.  The HO does pull really hard around 3,000-4,000 rpm.

the tank metal is not supose to be bent i know for a fact the paint is chiped on one side and thanks guys, now i just have to wait and start tearing into it, im also getting a complete intake for few from a relative that owns a shop a street from my house, so i am gonna toy with it, swap it on, and sell the other one, assuming its a H.O. Running driving, is first, then exhaust, then inside repairs, then performance mods, or what ever i find cheap. need to keep my eyes open for a front valence, trunk lid, and a few inside parts. Plus i need to find out what the spaceship button panel does. I felt like a scientist in it today, so many freaking buttons. BUT ITS MINE, best birthday present to me in forever(b day is tomorrow, people should send me parts!!j/k) Wish me luck, should be a fun experience. Ill be on here still alot, looking out for cheap parts!

I believe the H.O. Marking is under the upper intake top-plate. Anyway, both the upper and lower H.O. manifolds are marked as such.

TAKE YOUR TIME with it.Study what your doing before you start working on it.You can can start throwing parts on and actually make the car worse.Make sure you have a plan and that you do it right the first time.Don't use py parts because that's all you may be able to afford at the time.save your money and do it right with good parts.

O trust me, its gonna get the best of the best, no cheapo shiznit. I first need to check ever brake line for the leak, since the tank is out its nice and easy, then fix that throw in the tank, flush every fluid just to be safe, and its getting all royal purple, then tune up before i even try to turn it over. Im wicked buttstuff when it comes to something i like. shiznit i even used royal purple in my motorcycle i bought! I have the guys on the lincoln forum walking me though what i need, and how to do it, man i can't wait to rip everything apart and check it all. Its gonna be awesome!

Nice buy.
As for the intakes,lower is the same ho or non,only upper is different and as stated above it says HO under the plate.
All gas tanks i've seen on t-birds and cougs have bends at the corners(can't remember which corners)but it is normal for clearance issues.
Check the tank thats in the car before bending them back.
