Thats your opinion. We've been over this before. You dont like it? dont look at it.

Form "follows" function. If you need to make room for a 150hp adder, then you just do it. If you think a giant hole looks better than a modified hood...get the dremel, cuz if you swap intakes on a gen 1...you're gonna need room.
:bash:

GEN 2 and I dont want to be mean but come on guys it is not a mustang, or somthing its better than that its a lincoln and you can just make room or take the time and make it look good and clean. if you want that kind of hood be a kid agen and get a mustang or an F-body.
 
Used 03 Eaton?

Find out if the used 03 Eatons will work. If he can mate them up to our engine you can get them on Ebay for 450 to 700 barely used. Add the kit for say 1000 and your screwed for less than 2000!!!

I would be buying in about 6 months if that.

Having both the cobra eaton and the 2nd gen in my carage, I can assure you all that it will not fit under the stock hood on 2nd gen cars, let alone 1st gen. The inlet elbow, even if it sat right on the valve cover, (which it doesn't even on 03 cobra) will not clear the hood. Neither will the original pulley. Maybe the 2.80 or smaller would, but I wouldn't run that much boost on stock internals. With a stock 98 cobra intake it is very close to the hood, you actually have to bend some tabs to clear it. The eaton is even taller. 1st Gen guys will need at least the cobra r hood.

Having said that, fab work is mandatory anytime you install something on this car.

:Bang :bash: :F argue2 :L :soapbox: :soapbox: :soapbox:
Dirt clown...age has nothing to do with it. If you have ever studied the roots of drag racing, or any form of auto racing, you would realize, your comments are moot.

But I refuse to argue with you about this. For one reason, it is pointless. I am going to do to my car whatever the heck I want to. But for the sake of explaining why I think your entire concept is narrow minded, I will continue.

You are making the statement that can be defined as narrow minded. I suppose adding aftermarket rims is wrong? how about a chip in the computer? Improved shocks? What about and improved sound system? Tinted windows? oh, an aftermarket cup holder? sesnor lowering? Pin striping? Engine dress up kits?

My point is, adding an aftermarket body panel is no different. The appearance of a car is strictly on a personal level. but to actually "bash" someone's ideas for their car's over-all look, and foremost functionality, is downright "teenager" mentality.

I apologize for going off on a rant, but if everyone here were to follow your words of wisdom, the aftermarket auto industry would go belly up, and every car on earth would be a plain-jane, boring box on wheels, probably in flat black, or brown.

One of the very best parts of OWNING a car, is having the right, and the ability to "make it your own" without fear of irrational comments from the peanut gallery.

Just remember this:
Had Carol Shelby been content with a plane jane Mustang, you might not be driving the mark VIII...you could be driving a fairmont. And if Zora Duntov was content with carburated engines, then you'd be driving a 2-bbl equipped Fairmont...probably in flat black, or brown.

reap the benefits of modern-day visionaries. If not for them, we would have no sense of style, performance, and individualization.

besides, at least you'd know it was my car coming at you, not just another plain old black Mark VIII...or brown faimont, for that matter.

ok, rant over. Mods, if i am crossing the line, i apologize. But if folks are allowed to criticize another man's ideas, then they should be prepared to handle the defense.

In closing, I have a bone-stock bodied 94, and a bone-stock bodied 97 LSC. I love the looks beyond all words. But my priorities are different than most. I can only enjoy the appearance of a car, if it has the power to back it up. if i want/need to add more power, but cannot due to clearance issues, I'll make room. You can be sure of that. If that means adding a Cobra R hood...you bet your :q I will.

Three cheers. From my work truck to my personal vehicles, you have always been able to recognize me coming and they have always left a statement. :Beer
 
I believe that the main reason there aren't more blown Marks is because, like was previously stated, to upgrade on this car you have to modify and fabricate. If someone can come up with a bolt-on s/c kit that will fit on my gen 2 with little to know modifications for $2 g's, then I'd be crazy not to consider buying one. If they can't, then thanks for trying. :Beer
 
All I can tell you is I have been on a crusade for the last 6 months to get somebody in the industry to finally give it a real whack. I have diligently been advising the community that there is a significant interest on the Lincoln side for something like this to happen. Seeing a flotilla of Marks out kicking a$$ and taking names would be the delight of my life.

look if you like the hood its cool It's just not for me. I really want to S/C my car, but I also want to keep the stock hood. I have neaver liked that style but thats just me. I have no problems with rims thay can look good when done right. I love thise cars for the Go and for the inside it is a really nice car. and if you think it looks good then do it. there is nothing more importent then likeing your car, that is why I hate it when people ask me if I think thes rims will look good on there car. It does not matter what I or any one thinks as long as like it. so get the hood or don't I wouldent, but thats me. I know thes cars need things to be made for them, that is a good thing, and I just want the car to stay Lincoln.maby not stock looking but at least alond the same lincoln lines. some of you all do have really cool cars here with the hood, its just not my style. if it is yours than go for it. you are right this is pointless. what this is about is a S/C kit that would fit under the stock hood on a gen 2. If the price is right Ill still get it and find out somthing to do with the hood.

ya but does it fit under the stock hood?

No and it will NOT on a Gen 1, a Gen 2 would fit an eaton because that was Ford's intention, hence the "bubble".

On a Gen 1 you have to do this:

Note above the bubble and then the relief in the center and the notch at the rear of the underhood. Also if you could see behind the blower the black cowl area is trimmed to.

Awesome idea, Geno. I actually would like to do this is in the FUTURE, so how much would you ask for a copy of your intake manifold, if I did perhaps consider it in the future. I love the style and performance of twin screw SC's. I also have this damn hood providing all kinds of space, for absolutely nothing... KB would definently be my choice, I also heard they have a intercooled twin screw coming out soon if not out already.

Keep us posted on more info, Bryan...... I definently am of interest. I could already hear that damn SC whining !

Psh... I wish !

Jon its like ANYthing for the Lincolns, demand will dictate production and I have to tell you there would have to be a TON of orders to make me dismantle that car.
 
ok back to the Possible Twin-Screw Blower Deal. when and how much?

Wanna Laugh. .. I've got a 4000+ T-Bird SC with a puny v6 & a Big Ol'Whipple running 11's. Come March when E-Town opens, I'll hoping to squirt it into the 10's. First gotta get the balls to put the juice in & chance blowing it to kindom come! .... But the joke will be if I can do it with the AC on! :steering

I am not even sure but aren't all the Gen 1 hoods glass, or just the '93? Because if they are glass, what could be easier.

The idea is to get an intake that deletes our IMRC system and will alow the screw to 'blot' right up to the heads with minimal effort.

Then all you have to do is go shopping for a used Eaton or Whipple or Kenne Bell. I see them al the time on Ebay. I have no idea where this is going but I plan to stay in touch with Jim on a regular basis and will even see if I can get him to chime in over here now and then with an update.

Most of us just want a decent street car/daily driver and the twin screws or eatons will make the cars incredibly more fun to drive. Just ask Geno.

you mean all my doors, truck, etc is glass? could you link the thread that talks about this? thanks.
 
I would do this if it could be made into a package where you get the chip/dynotune and all the accesories together with some instructions, or if there were a place to go and just have it done professionally. I would love to have it but I'm fairly new to working on cars and I wouldn't want to mess it up bad.

What he was referring to was the outer skin of the Gen 1 Mark VIII hoods. The outer layer is a resin composite...pretty much what we refer to as "fiberglass". The rest of the car is sheet metal.

gen 2 hoods are aluminum.
