It Made How Much Power?!? Dyno Testing Our Lincoln Mark VIII Project Car

[@kevindavis5966]

That torque is pretty much spot on given a 15% drivetrain loss. A good tune should perk it right up to above stock specs.

[@corynickoleff767]

By far my favorite car on your program so far!!! Nicely done

[@bentley4l]

226 hp and 241 trq at the wheels

[@xxyvng6831]

What? these have 280

Great job guys! You’ve got a great project going. That’s a really healthy car with a lot of potential. I feel like you’re starting to notice that these were very underrated cars. ;) I’ve had mine for 7 years, and the car still jazzes me. Keep up the great work!

Omg I put a sticker on my '94 Town Car's windshield that said purple people eater. So glad I found this.

[@fredred8371]

Yes indeed you ARE able to lower it by adjusting the ride hight sensors. I just went spring conversion on mine though and the jumps on the Dyno graph might be from the imrc valves opening up. A lot of people take those out or just zip tie them open. I would love to see a Dyno comparation between with imrc's and without.

[@Prestiged_peck]

For future viewers, pinning tour IMRC DEMOLISHES your 60ft, as does deleting it completely with no other mods, a functioning IMRC WILL MAKE YOU FASTER IN THE QUARTER MILE

[@traceyrigaud3470]

I just love your video on the mark, you gave me the direction I needed I have a 93 so thanks from new york.

[@dugiv]

That's what they made brand spankin new to the wheels. You got a real good one!

[@jacobsmith1263]

I really enjoyed this video, thank you! Your dads smile and burnout at the end was priceless!! Not a paint guy myself but wonder if that paint job could be repaired with just some clear coat attention?

[@PodQueen2]

So cool! Watch those Fram oil filters though. The Motorcraft FL820S has an anti-drainback feature that is highly recommended. =) Thanks for the awesome video!!!

[@lmsbuilds5140]

Thanks for the tip! We will keep that in mind for the next oil change!

[@NightHowl86]

Yes Fram oil filters brand new already have rust in them and are just horrible quality!

[@FortyTwoAnswerToEverything]

Sold my 98 LSC about 5 years ago. Totally regret it. About 1 year later, looked up the title in the Florida database and it was marked for destruction. Guess it's now tuna cans in some grocery shop isle.

[@madmod]

The imrc is supposed to open and allow the engine to peak at 5500rpm and kind of steady off by redline. I think you may have a sticky imrc valve or butterflies that have some carbon build up. It is definitely worth some power cleaning them off any how. Still got close to stock power rating though.

[@sulloollus]

get a tune from lance, also braces from supercoupe performance

[@drakehunter5965]

Does he have a website

[@jamesshride3158]

OMG adorable idea. I love it.

[@lmsbuilds5140]

Glad you like it!

[@sixgod1316]

Hey guys, where is she now?? I haven’t seen any updates.. I’m a huge fan of your work, & I have 1996 Lincoln Mark so I was following this build, very closely.. keep me posted, if you can.. Thanx🏆💯💯💯

[@rak6437]

I'm deciding whether to buy this Lincoln, a 1998. How is your opinion as an owner? (It truly seems like a fantastic vehicle)

[@69CHRISTOV]

Great video guys, keep em coming, love these cars! We have 4, 😂

[@StrykerV8]

The spike in the dyno could be when the torque converter locks up

[@halenberdeski6625]

What does locking converter do?

[@NightHowl86]

I just purchased a 95 Lincoln Mark VIII about 3 weeks ago. I'm wanting to do a hub swap and get rid of the grandpa wheels, any help would be much appreciated. thanks and keep the project vids coming especially for this car.

[@lmsbuilds5140]

Check out Episode 2 where we swap out the hubs. It's a pretty straight forward process, but you'll need a press.

[@garywinthorp2227]

If you go on mark 8 muscle you can buy mustang rims with the correct bolt pattern and offset to fit mark 8s with no modification needed. It would save you money on the hub swap.

[@NightHowl86]

@@garywinthorp2227 Thank you!

[@253fabrication]

You can also buy a hub re-drill jig.

[@SeanPitts92]

Bro you look like Chris Evans. Nice video.

[@lmsbuilds5140]

Appreciate the kind words!

[@lanewarriorillridez3739]

Can you please explain to me exactly how you got them 5x4.5 offset Mustang rims on that car as well as the brakes?

[@lmsbuilds5140]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHfdoXV6gs6phpo We have a video for that!

[@lanewarriorillridez3739]

@@lmsbuilds5140 yeah I later discovered that video later that day lol. I'm considering buying a set of used crome 2004 Terminator Cobra rims & tires for $800 for this project!

[@LPack05]

Just bought a 97 LSC 😩

[@tomsmith2331]

No self respecting mechanic uses frame oil filters on any engine they want to keep

[@lmsbuilds5140]

Remember...we literally dragged this thing out of a junkyard. Keep that it in mind when assessing our abuse of it!

[@99telskidSnake]

The may be true for the orange cans but the ultras are some of the best trouble free filters on the market. Metal end caps, wire backed synthetic media and a efficiency of 99% at 20 microns. I like Wix as well but now that they have been taken over by Mann & Hummel (purolator) we’ll see if their quality suffers.

[@charleswaynewright2042]

Fram oil filter is not recommended for this engine
