Took a trip to the closest Boneyard.

Well im going to start going to all the boneyards near me to find anything... Here is what a local place that used to be nice before it sold out to a big "thinker" had yesterday....two lincolns and a cougar....



First, this is the part i went out looking for....never found it...the far left side is broke off....see.


this is my engine. also what i came for....buuut...i found it in a lincoln....H.O. stuff






some kinda nice lincoln rims...


Oh by the way... the cougar was in line for the Monster truck show that night....everything was perfect in it...:punchballs:


Can anyone tell me what all i should take off the H.O. to help the conversion process go by faster? or should i just try to buy the whole car off him so i can deal with it at home?

Just buy one from late model resto. That's what I did and it cost me a whole $5.

You should grab the headers from the Lincoln,and the upper intake assembly.They are better than the stock 5.0 uppers,and the throttlebody is a little bigger as well.Just swap the upper,T-Body and spacer directly over......and the headers...and maybe the Lincoln's H-Pipe....with hollowed cats....yes,that's it.

I got it off a 5.0 Explorer. It's a cast GT40 intake.

Thunderjet stop posting that G-D engine bay!! :mad: :rollin:
 
And let it be known I ordered not one but ****TWO***** of those stickers from 50resto, back last summer when I made a huuuuge deal out of the fact that I absolutely-gotta-have one on my airbox, and everyone directed me there. I of course ha to have another to sit in my toolbox unopened JUST IN CASE!!!! :hick:
 
They do tend to dry out and curl and peel off and fly away.
Im just such a big fan of it that I had to point out that it's intact. LOL

If you can, get the whole engine from that Linc...IF it runs, and doesn't have half a million miles, that is.
