Technical 55 Lincoln custom sedan engine swap

No, not HAMB topic. No, if you have to ask how, don't. Yes, a R&P is easy to bolt in, VERY difficult to make work correctly. Most don't have enough travel for old steering arms. Most DIY installs ignore bump steer and then drive for*****e.

How's the engine swap coming along?
I picked up a 55 Capri 2door Hard Top a few months back and original 341 is seized and would need full rebuild. At almost $900 for a set of pistons it's not happening anytime soon.
A buddy gave me a 460 that needs some work and before I start putting money into it I was wondering if anyone has swapped one in. Otherwise a 390 FE or 351W may be a better choice.

 

I don’t think he’s been back since the day of the first post. So chance are he’s not much help.
