@spikerazzor lol, nan these engines can keep up with vettes if not destroy them...liters of displacement becomes equal to each other once a turbine is added. Most V6's have V8 sized pistons so if ya add a dish/4valves/stronger bearings and valve springs...well ya know.
hey i jus bought a 95 mark viii and i really want to do some serious upgrades to it this car is jus too plain but its still fast. can u give me some ideas like wat am i lookin at to put some serious muscle into this car?????????? thanks
What is this ugly stuff??? The Mark VIII is one of the nicest muscle cars around. I think of them as a Modern GTO or 442. Why Lincoln does not bring this car back i'll never know? The current lineup is boring as hell. And what moron thought a Lincoln pickup truck was a great idea I hope is washing toilets now... Lincoln made the same mistake that Mercury with the Cougar back in the day. They could not figure how to market worth a damn. The Mark VIII looks like a real car, not a KIA hamster ride.
This car is so cool! For anyone who believes the new v6 lincolns have nothing on V-8's....they're modular 60 degree V-6's with forged internals...some come with 2turbo's hmmmm....now what came outta Japan in LATE DECEMBER 2007 with a engine similar to such specs....????
@Speedmccool385bitch Nah, has nothing to do with it. Remember that Nissan had a turbo V6 from the early 80's - the late 90's, they replace that with with an N/A V6 that was all aluminum and not a cast iron boat anchor like the previous one. Naturally if Nissan wanted to put this new V6 info an application that would be chasing after Corvettes and what not they would need to boost the motor, otherwise they wouldn't stand a chance.
me im a chevy guy!!!!! but the Mark viii's are very nice cars looks and performance!!!! CHICKS MAY POST COMMENTS SAYING THEY ARE UGLY!!!!! But REAL GUYS NO THEY ARE AWESOME AMERICAN CARS... Period!!
@nevermkIII Why would u say they are ugly? It's all a matter of opinion... I think they look amazing. U may like the look of a pt cruiser, I think they look like shit but who cares. Why u gotta hate on shit people like. Personally as a Mark VIII owner i am offended and I think other Mark owners would be as well.
@iamstudman dude i have a 97 mark viii also n i dont care if other people say that their ugly, all i care is about interior n engine. i was just giving my opinion, sorry if i made u feel bad
I miss my M92 (vandalized at 327 729 km). God (aka Hank the Great) said Ford should build the cheapest car on the planet and it should BE A V-8 (like in 1932). FoMoCo don't know what they did when they killed Mercury. My Hlllann has been loyal to that brand starting with 1942 CMP-13 Bulldog; 1946 Mercury 114 (CDN0; 1954 Meteor Niagara; 1960 Météor Rideau 500 Montcalm, etc., etc.). I Think the Mk WYTH was the American Concorde. Happy new Anna Perenna OSS 9 x 13
Man Lincoln MK VIII's are awesome. Last good car Lincoln made if you ask me. V8, RWD, IRS etc etc now they just take FWD V6 Ford Fusions and sparkle them up a little and put a Lincoln badge on them. Pathetic.
@bigbadbronco86 So it's a similar chassis but you don't get the quad cam 4V 4.6L in the Thunderbird, nor do you get the air ride suspension. Besides it was an advanced chassis to begin with, since it was only one of two Domestic RWD cars to have IRS (the Corvette being the other) so it wasn't exactly a bad starting point now was it?
@bigbadbronco86 You have a pretty decent and capable RWD chassis! Besides it beats the current Lincolns where if you strip down the body you have a lame FWD Mazda 6! This was the last of the badass RWD Lincoln coupes! That's why some people still like them so much. Lincoln doesn't make cool cars anymore like Cadillac who is pumping out ultra high HP RWD coupes like the supercharged V8 CTS-V coupe and XLR-V. Lincoln is a joke these days compared to those cars.
@MN12BIRD The EcoBoost MKZ has quite a bit of sparkle.... just sayin. But i do agree, the Mark VIII was the last true HotRod Lincoln! The LS sucked, and now it's all FWD and RWD. :(
i have a lincoln mark viii, with a chip, cold air intake, straight pipes, and nice chrome rims, not the best, but it's mine, and I fucking love it. it's a 94, all black.
I think Lincoln cars are all excellent I'm 19 and my first car ever is the towncar and it is very reliable and very comfortable. I want that mark viii but I can't find a used one anywhere
Damn you ricers have no shame, I suppose everybody is supposed to be driving in a torqueless little eggshell with 8000 pounds of boost. I think your girlfriends understand this concept well, SIZE DOES MATTER! No replacement 4 displacement. Id run a souped up LSC against you nipple biting haters any day.
Why would anyone waste money on this piece of crap. The car has a horrible interior, unreliable, bits and pieces peeling and falling off. Crappy upholstery material and any cheap Honda Civic is more comfortable than this, never mind something further upscale.
@exBMRguy wtf are you on!? have you ever been in one of these? they have some of the most comfortable seats in any car out there. and since when is leather crappy upholstery material? not to mention they whoop the shit out of hondas all day.
@mustangdrifter91 I bought/owned 3 used Mark VIII (all LSC's) growing up in college and those bucket seats are still better than the 65K Jaguar I drive now. Best seats ever (and the Mark VIII's had LSD!!!!!)
ahaha nevermind I realised after I wrote the last comment you stated the specs in the video description my mistake, still a beautiful ( sounding AND looking ) car! Wicked time too!
@cobraracing I can vouch for that! 2 years ago I started having insane back problems , i had slipped disc, it was the only car I could drive because it was so damn smooth
Plus Lincolns are bad ass! you have a motor that puts out approx 300 bhp, airbag suspension that via minor tweaking you can manually control, leg room, and not to mention all the bolt-ons, I wonder why they are selling so cheap? They are seriously underrated cars!
@Kawasakiforlife7 y not if you spend time at a test and tune day you will see a sea of fox body mustangs. whats so bad about driving home with ac and leather?
I would imagine so, but even if it were a stock cast iron crank ive seen them used in cars with 800 hp with no problem, and ive never heard of one breaking either, even at those power levels.
The cast crank is not reliable. I saw a Teksid block ruined because the dude put a blower on a Mk VIII and he was making around 550 hp....he blew out the crank about a year later.
The the forged cobra crank is good to 2000hp with a cold treatment & peen.
No, Its got the 8 bolt cast Iron crankshaft, only good for a 500hp limit. Still pretty dang good for a street driven beast though. the Mercury Marauder also came with the 8 bolt cast iron crankshaft. I hope this answers your question fully.
Sean Hyland Motorsports Used the Teksid F6LZ-6010-AB Block for drag race engines of up to 1,500 HP "Also used in the 93-98 Lincoln Mark 8" The Teksid block is the strongest production aluminum mod block as of when his book was written in 2003.
So yeah your correct, good for WELL over 800hp with proper preparation.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
One time I raced a guy in one these 97/98 lincolns and he beat me on the short run but in the long run I started gaining up on him and passed him even faster than he did in the begining that'll teach him not to mess with a 1990 lexus 400.
Well, nOw I regret choosing the Riv over the Mk VIII. This things faster than my vette and as quiet as my Riv. Dang those Lincoln guys were making some good cars.
I agree for stock. I test drove both and the s/c Riv just felt torquier. But one cannot argue with this kind of HP, and these Mk VIII's sure can put it down.
i had a GTP supercharged. my friend has a lincoln mark viii. yes, of the line i beat him but on the highway, no chance. i since sold the gtp and my bought an LS Lincoln!
Lulz, i love them really, it just makes me laugh how people defend them as if there life depends on it. Good piece of machinery man.. just, looks like an old sierra, and imo, there ugly, but with the right subtle mods i think you can make them gorgeous.
@gtdrummerdude It's the 4R70W and it is capable of about 500 hp in the stock form and a simple JMOD. I'm sure this transmission is built. Idiots who run these cars like children and put garbage tunes in them are the ones who have transmission problems. The 4R70W is a very tough automatic transmission. The AX4N in the Taurus is not. LOL
@idontgivafuk3641 to be honest the marks were fast to begin with but us muscle sedan lovers always have to add to the package! to ( cobraracing ) LOVE the mark! What sort of exhaust are you on?
you know what...i wish lincoln would make another mark coupe..instead of lil compact 4 door mkz's and 6 cylinder mks's...though i heard about twin turbo on the latter...could you imagine a new mark coupe based off of the new mustang? oh man...bring me the LSC please....
I hate small cars as much as you do, but the truth is big cars can't sell because they're gas guzzlers and are expensive to ,maintain, so manufacture's have to bend to the economy. RIP V8 Big-Bodied cars!
does anyone know why it is that most people just do a underdrive crank pulley and not the waterpump or alternator? Isnt a kit for a 96-98 cobra a direct fit? Any info would be a huge help. Also how big of a difference do 4.10s make?
Not sure if the poster of this video is still around still (corbaracing), but do you ever make it out to Cayuga with it at all? I have a Mark as well with gears and a tune, and would love to check out your car some time.
Guys, there a 03 cobra motor converted to a 5L stroker, ported and polished heads, ported and knife edged intake with modified runners. The car has full exhaust on it with X-pipe.
we have a stock 94 mark viii all i have is a super chip.had to get better tiers,car is dangeros without good tiers i was thinking of a posi.what gears do you think we should use street/track.i like the mods on your car
i got a 93 lincoln mark 8 4.6 and i was wonderin wut should i do first to get some performance out of it??? thanks ures by the way if fuckin awesome!!
I recommend a true dual exhaust with dual x pipes, flowmaster mufflers, k/n filter with bigger MAS, and a performance chip. Dont go with gears or a different differential unless you want to drag race a lot. Its not easily driveable with the 4.10 gears or a welded dif. I ran low 13's with the mods i listed in my 96 mk8.
id go with th x pipes with electronic cutoffs, so u can run the strip with no mufflers. and drive around sounding like a benz, then if u see a cop, just flip a switch and youre muffled, jegs can hook u up
Guys, there a 03 cobra motor converted to a 5L stroker, ported and polished heads, ported and knife edged intake with modified runners. The car has full exhaust on it with X-pipe.
And by the way, a 4.10 isn't the only gear you can put on your car. 3.73's would be a great compromise, so you wouldn't kill your ride and still add acceleration.
hey man, there is a HUGE misconception about 4.10's, they don't kill your ride, do a BIT more research...3.73's are fine, but in the MN12's 4.10's are great, even for everyday driving, trust me.
Dude, I'm totally loving what you've done to this car. Next summer I plan to add a performance cam and a supercharger to my Mark VIII. Seeing this video of your bad ass car makes me more anxious!!!
to run high 11's street driven 4200lb on a radial tire, walking it out to avoid the IRS wheel hop, it takes 600+ HP to go high 11's and the same to go low 9's in a race prepped 2800 lb mustang
man what kind of upgrades is in that thing? i almost bought 1 b4 my town car that looked just like that 1 (bode wise) but i t rememinded my of my moms thunderbird too much but man it looks SOOOO much better on cobras, i had no clue. I want one now.

you know what...i wish lincoln would make another mark coupe..instead of lil compact 4 door mkz's and 6 cylinder mks's...though i heard about twin turbo on the latter...could you imagine a new mark coupe based off of the new mustang? oh man...bring me the LSC please....

I hate small cars as much as you do, but the truth is big cars can't sell because they're gas guzzlers and are expensive to ,maintain, so manufacture's have to bend to the economy. RIP V8 Big-Bodied cars!

'94 Lincoln Mark VIII: Gas mileage on highway between 24 and 29 mpg. Not exactly a gas guzzler.

does anyone know why it is that most people just do a underdrive crank pulley and not the waterpump or alternator? Isnt a kit for a 96-98 cobra a direct fit? Any info would be a huge help. Also how big of a difference do 4.10s make?
grindking10000 3 years ago
if you purchase a underdrive kit it will be for the crank, water pump, and the alternator. and yes 4.10's will make it feel like a dif car!

Very nice Mark :)
Not sure if the poster of this video is still around still (corbaracing), but do you ever make it out to Cayuga with it at all? I have a Mark as well with gears and a tune, and would love to check out your car some time.

Gears, cold air kit, tune & exhaust will wake it up

Longtube headers, O/R midpipe, catback, ported heads, CAI, and 4.10 gears. ;)
tiedie2 4 years ago
I recommend a true dual exhaust with dual x pipes, flowmaster mufflers, k/n filter with bigger MAS, and a performance chip. Dont go with gears or a different differential unless you want to drag race a lot. Its not easily driveable with the 4.10 gears or a welded dif. I ran low 13's with the mods i listed in my 96 mk8.
gurlblu2001 3 years ago
id go with th x pipes with electronic cutoffs, so u can run the strip with no mufflers. and drive around sounding like a benz, then if u see a cop, just flip a switch and youre muffled, jegs can hook u up

no way, borla baby...lol
drummaboy5189 3 years ago
And by the way, a 4.10 isn't the only gear you can put on your car. 3.73's would be a great compromise, so you wouldn't kill your ride and still add acceleration.
drummaboy5189 3 years ago
hey man, there is a HUGE misconception about 4.10's, they don't kill your ride, do a BIT more research...3.73's are fine, but in the MN12's 4.10's are great, even for everyday driving, trust me.

Question, what did you do to your suspension? I wouldn't think the stock air bags would handle that much power.

2003 mustang cobra cams
look for used ones
cobraracing 4 years ago
I went and got a quote on some Mustang Cobra cams, that's the ones you meant right? Anywayz, they were about $800.
drummaboy5189 4 years ago
You only need the 2003 cobra cams to make power with a blower
most after market cams will kill to much bottom end for a heavy auto like the Mark VIII
Good luck
cobraracing 4 years ago
Where would I find these cams and how much would they cost?
drummaboy5189 4 years ago
They are readily available from Ford or try the Corral net
cobraracing 4 years ago
Dude, I'm totally loving what you've done to this car. Next summer I plan to add a performance cam and a supercharger to my Mark VIII. Seeing this video of your bad ass car makes me more anxious!!!

so you need to spend how much moneys just to run high 11's?
joojoosasa 4 years ago
to run high 11's street driven 4200lb on a radial tire, walking it out to avoid the IRS wheel hop, it takes 600+ HP to go high 11's and the same to go low 9's in a race prepped 2800 lb mustang
