Eric's '86 Lincoln Towncar SS
Back
Details
I blew up the original motor in the poor thing last year, but didn't want to get rid of the car because I loved it so much. It was perfect inside and out. The only thing that didn't work was the AC. So I put together an old sbf I had laying around, beefed up my trans a bit, and had a 4300 pound car that ran 11.95 seconds on the quarter at 118MPH (funny since the speedo maxes out at 85).
It's a scat 347 stroker running twin Garrett T-76 turbos. DES 4 bolt block. Keith Black pistons. Fully ported TFS aluminum street heat cylinder heads. Crane solid roller cam. Manley severe duty valves 2.055/1.625. Provides 490 hp @ 5700 rpm with a mild shot of nitrous.
Unfortunately, I broke my transmission and didn't feel like fixing it so I parted out the motor and gave the car away. Afterwards, it lost its popularity so my brother and his friends made fun of it forever. Poor towncar...
