i see u have 2 Maek VII's im looking within the next few mths to either get another Mark VII or M8 i have an 88LSC right now that i have owned for the last 6yrs. just changed the rear airbags and noids myself about a week ago.

 

[NYC LS8]

I HAD a Mark VIII, but the thing was such a pain in the ass to work on, I gave it to my old man. Didn't make much sense to give it to him since I'd STILL have to work on it, but whatever lol

LOL you sound like me. I'm dropping the trans in the vii yesterday and my dad comes over, says heres my intrepid do a tune up..i was like WTF. So an hour later after changing belts, air, pcv, plugs, boots, etc...i go back to working on my :q:q:q:q.

 

[StincolnLincoln]

i had the trans rebuilt on my M7 about a yr ago after my 5th trip back and forth from NJ to TX.. about 5hrs away from TX coming back my trans went out on me. can you say $1500 lol... if iwas in NJ when that happened all would have had to do would be pay for the parts my uncle would have rebuilt it for free.

 

[LuxurySportCoupe]

I wish i only had 1500 in my trans. lol

 

[StincolnLincoln]

Mustang Pedals - 100

Steeda Quad, FWA, adjust. Cable - 100

Ram Clutch -150

FMS Flywheel - 100

Speedo Gear - 10

Poly trans mounts - 40

Not to mention I have since purchased a Blueprinted HD FMS Pressure plate, Mcleod Cermic/Kevlar Disc + FMS adjustable cable + heatwrape which is 400 bucks by itself.

None of this includes any off the MotorCraft bolts, hardware, synthetic fluid, etc, etc. - about another 150+ in that.

Underestimating on everything i'm over $3250 not including shipping and i'm sure i left some stuff out, i've done added along the way.

Its was and is worth every penny.

Thanks.

That video's a few years old - back when it was a slow, mid-15 second car. That was the old motor with bolt-ons, full exhaust (MAC shorty headers, 2.5" H, no cats, Flow 40s), stock AOD and 4.10s out back.

Now it's got a new motor, cam, stock ported heads, 1.72 rockers, Explorer intake, exhaust (but now with Dynomax Ultra Flows and 3" tips out back), 5 speed and the 4.10s.

There's a video I can post from SSHS5 (Southern Super Heavyweight Shootout 5) down in GA this past November where you can hear what the car sounds like now. Gotta find the link. BRB.

It's in the beginning, and at about 1:15 in.

 

[StincolnLincoln]

Man for it being a few yrs back it was exactly how i want my 88LSC to sound like ...
damn if you only kept the exhaust lol i could have bought it off you. lol. there should be a market of exhaust for the Mark VII from the headers back already prefabbed and ready to go.

 

[NYC LS8]

I still have the mufflers from that exhaust. And there is someone who does exhaust for these cars, too. See your exhaust thread.

 

[StincolnLincoln]

i am at work so i can only hear the videos but when i went home lastnight i must have watched that clip about 20 times. i turned on the 32" LCD that i have my gaming pc hooked up to and turned the surround sound on and i was driving your car lol... my neighbor came by cause he thought i bought a new XBOX video game lmao. he was so impressed he got online on my other pc and started looking for a Mark VII to buy lol..Man i cant wait to get this front end and rear shocks done so i can get to the exhaust.

 

[NYC LS8]

That's awesome lol
