Oh man is that cool or what? I can't wait to see pics!
Thanks for sharing the pics! I accidentally ran into an Edsel convention once in Ohio, was probably in 1994... Would have been somewhere near...
Got pulled over in my 54 Ford by a local agency here in NJ. Failure to wear seat belt Defective backup lights Missing seat belts in car....
I love it! And yeah, a 430 can really suck up money! Did you change the timing gears and the oil pump shaft with an FE billet one?
:( Get better quick Tommy! Here's to a speedy recovery.
Oh, Here's another pic of the head surfaces... [IMG] Bill
Ok, Finally got back on it today! The drivers side is a lot tighter, especially as this car has factory cruise control (mounting bracket...
New Puppy + 95 degrees = No work over the weekend. I'll be on it tomorrow and Tuesday.
From what I remember (Ive barely been here over 2 years so I consider myself a newbie) when the rule was 64 and back, that if a car was around in...
I'm hoping... The car is at my cousins which is 20 miles south of me. It's finally cooling off a little so I'm heading down there to get...
Saltflats, A little. But at that point I had already removed it from the block and wasn't terribly careful. Posted using the Full Custom...
Brian, Thanks. Heck I could live with that... Right now I'd just like to figure out what the problem IS! Bill Posted using the Full Custom...
Well it's update time. I got the passenger side head off and unless I turned into an idiot (highly likely) then I sure as heck don't see...
Some progress... [IMG] Head is ready to come off, I bought a cherry picker and will remove it tomorrow. Still have the drivers side to do...
I have to do the heater cores on my '60 Lincoln. I am not looking forward to that. Both of them are leaking, theyre in the front inner wheel...
Hankook makes very good tires, they're Korean. Cooper Trendsetters are bargain basement el cheapo tires.
They are fantastic cars. They never sold a ton and there's not oodles and oodles left so some parts can be a bear to find. Brake Drums are hard...
Astonishing.... If that was a solid, complete, unmolested low mileage barn find it would be astonishing to be where you are in this amount of...
Yeah but you can get SBC parts anywhere, because, you know if you're on a trip and your SBC throws a rod you can just get a new rod at autozone...
Very underappreciated cars. Also, like any of the Lincolns of that era, they drive amazingly well. Even my huge boat of a 60 that, frankly,...
Lincoln Y Blocks share their bolt patterns with EARLY (58,59,60) MELs. So that means they're the same as an FE.
Odd, I called them the other day to see what they would charge to rebuild a Lincoln 430. It was over $8,000. Even assuming custom made Wiseco...
I'm thinking $12-14k if its nice. $24,000 in receipts? That's nice. I just gave away an OT Car to my cousin instead of selling it for $3k. I...
Adrian, I think that, personally, radials look idiotic on older cars. But that's just my opinion. If I want to go flying around corners like a...
American cars used Bias Play tires well into the 70s, I've read that by 83 all American cars and light trucks were using radials. I wouldn't be...
You will. Some friends of mine who own some very high dollar cars take them out very early on Sunday Mornings. Few things will get me up...
It sure does, doesn't it? Makes sense, Mike likes Lincolns. Beautiful car BTW!
Nope I don't. Closest I have had is a little condensation under the oil cap but not much. Meanwhile this car is why I remember how much I...
I believe Sears was selling bias ply tires into the 90s. When I was in college in '94-95 I worked at Tire America, which was owned by Sears. We...
I love it.
