I have a project i need motor trans for and the Lincon LSC seem to be cheap and plentiful my brother scored one for $300 running awesome we hit it with a nitrous kit we had and did some sweet burnouts. I was wondering if the air suspension would be able to be used on my 53 ford? Would this be a waste of time?
yeah it should have a 5.0 and an AOD trans. the airbags could be made to fit but I dont think they have much travel, I've seen them used in the back of a rod.
or depending on what year it is it could be a 4.6 my 97 lsc has the 4.6 and runs it *** off.... the air suspension on these cars is not that reliable.... never had any probleme with mine but it was replaced in 2002.....
So what is the bore/stroke of a 4.6,and how many cubic inches(for us oldguys)?? It looks like the plugs go in the top of the head,or an I wrong? thanks sparky
Jalopy, whenever you hear an engine size in liters, multiply it by 61. It's actually 61.02 but **** that last little bit. That makes a 4.6L a 280 CI engine. It's never 100% on the money because you can round up a litre measurement but it's close. My totally gay Honda winter beater has a 1.5L engine in it. Do the math, how pathetic is that?
280 cu.in.?? Man what a puny P.o.s.. My wife almost bought a '91 towncar with a 4.9. I cringed at the thought. I thought it should have at least a 5.0(302). Thank God she listened to me FWIW, It would probibly be ok for a lightweight rod,especialiy if you got it cheap. My little 283 dragster did go 11.27@115mph.Thanks Sparky
