I have an opportunity to buy a running and driving 1994 Lincoln Town Car with 75k miles for $800. I am considering using its engine and transmission for a Fiberglass bodied 32 Ford project. The 32 will finish out at about 2300 lbs. In a car that light in weight, the 4.6 will move it along as fast as I need to go in a lightweight open-wheel roadster.
Thoughts?
Does this car have an anti-theft system or anything else that would require reprogramming of the car\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'s computer module?
Where can I fond decent engine swap info?
Thanks, Bill |

There are several forums out there that could help out like www.crownvic.net. The Crown Vic, Grand Marquis, and Town Car are all the same; just different luxury levels.
A good 4.6L with an 4R70W autp would work sweet in a lightweight vehicle.
