I gotta 94 lincoln continental.. theres not much i can do to the 3.8L V6 and theres not much i can do with the body of the car either... I plan on a custom intake setup, New battery... already new spark plugs wires ect... im going to put a K & N filter and dress up the engine... Flowmasters ... and in the long run paint and rims... anyone with any other ideas to make my lincoln look a little nicer and be a little quicker.

Alsoo does anyone know where i can send my grill to get chromed in the area for a reasonably good price?? my grill is black and i realy want it to be chromed.. please help!

Yea.. can i get a supercharger for my engine? And how much you think a GTP swap would cost me??? id ont have the budget for that.. PLUS Lincolns transaxle (from what i heard) are the same used on Taurus's and a few otehr models and not made to handle that much power.. so i think a supercharge would kill my car.. unless i could fix the transaxle problem.

As long as you dont run too much boost it should hold out for sometime.

Check out www.clubgp.com and go into the "for sale" section of the forums. You may be able to find a used engine there. Otherwise........eBay.

Alright great thanks.. I also want to elimate my airbox setup and custom make a cold air intake right there.. or atleast add a new filter instead of the Airbox... Do you think there would be any benefits from this other than just looks?

Yea that would be reallly nice... But i dont think im all about the engine swap because of the money that is required, that i dont have.

Isn't that the same 3.8L as in the mustang? If so, you can super/turbo/NA mod the hell out of it.

Ford owns lincoln, right? post a pic of your motor, I"ll tell you for sure.
