that seems about right, given the weight. You also might want to check if the BB in 89 had the 225hp option. From what I understand they all said HO on the engine.

About 16.5 to 17.5 bone stock on radials.
What have you done to the car since you've had it?

how do you tell if you have the 225hp version? i have an o/r h-pipe and flows on mine and it ran a 10.20 @ 69mph in the 1/8 with a 2.4/ 60' time. and with the way that car pulls on the top end, i would think that a 15.6 @ 90 or so would be about right.

put an upper/lower intake, cam, and CAI, i bet 300 wouldn't be far off for about $500

"1987 Lincoln Mark VII
BIOGRAPHY:
1987 Lincoln Mark VII - Introduced October 2, 1986 the Mark VII line continued to produce a Base, Bill Blass, and LSC model. There very little noticeable change for this model year. The 302 engine in theBase and Bill Blass models remained at 140 horse power while the power plant for the LSC still produced 200 horse power. 1987 Mark VIIs are known to have three different engines as a mid-year change was in the works. In anticipation of it's greatest production year, Lincoln planned and installed a 225 hp version of the 302 in very few 1987s. The new engine featured larger heads for greater compression, larger openings in the intake manifold, and larger exhaust ports into the already smooth flowing tubular exhaust manifolds of the LSC. The number of 225 hp engines installed by Lincoln into the 1987s is unknown, and would considered a collector's item today. Badging for the LSC remained the same with a LINCOLN badge above the driver's headlamp, MARK VII badges forward of the doors behind the wheel wells, and LSC badges on the rear columns. Body changes were non existant. Mark's trademark decklid hump, European headlamp lenses, and wind swept fender lines remained. "

My brothers car ran a 16.2 but we put headers on (soon to have a gear) since the last visit to the track so we're hoping for some 15 second passes. What do you guys think? The gear is a 3:73.
