I'm sorry for the slightly off topic post. I subcontract for a company
called Converse Engineering and awhile back there was a customer interested in
trying to convert a 5K with a Ford V8 engine. For whatever reason the customer
lost interest and the idea has been in my head ever since.
About 2 weeks ago I saw a Lioncoln MK VIII on Ebay for cheap money (and
close to me) and I couldn't resist. So now the project starts. The 4.6 hit the
floor last night and within a couple weeks I hope to have the engine out of
the 5K so that I can do a little test fit just to see what I'm up against.
I expect this project will take at least a year but I thought I'd share
it with you all now anyway. Funny how life works It had been awhile since the
last time I saw the LT1Q mentioned anywhere. Then right as things are starting
to happen here It came up in S.J.'s post about the Steamboat event.
Wish me luck
Ryan
