    Do a search. There is someone building a 368 Lincoln powered hot rod. There was some discussion about adapting a stick shift trans to one.

    The Kennedy Coupe is a Ford Y, which is different from the Lincoln. The Kennedy Coupe is cool as hell though.

    I got the pair I posted. I'm told they are worth 200-500 dollars. I would never pay that. But I'm keeping mine.

    I've got a buddy that has a small junkyard that has one of those big cube Y blocks that is in a big Merc. Turnpike Cruiser station wagon. He said that it was a one owner car but the body is about rusted off. Don't know what he wants for it but it is for sale. He just sold an old Chrysler with a poly motor for $1,600.00 last month.
    Anyone interested in one drop me a P.M and I'll give you his phone #. He's in East Tennessee

    Joe, I've seen 4 sets of those valve covers on e-bay in the last 6 months. I purchased one set for $300 bucks. Haven't seen any lately. I was thinking of repoping some, need to check on that. Good luck, Mike.

    Hey mike,

    Thanks

    If my memory serves me correctly, i believe there's a lincoln y block underneath that silly amount of chrome, and tubing.

    From Rikster's wonderful site...

    Mercjoe-They are stock Lincoln valve covers. On the more upscale cars.
