This is what the car looks like as of 1-10-05, the project is kind of at a stand still, until I get further on the engine build.

Southwell's 1995 Lincoln Mark VIII The car just got back from a 1000 mile roadtrip so it's kind of dirty, and I wanted to get some quick pics so deal with it for now. :o)

Southwell's 1995 Lincoln Mark VIII Here is a shot of my instrument panel, and of my Autometer tach, I love the look on peoples faces when the see something like that in a Lincoln.

Southwell's 1995 Lincoln Mark VIII Here is how the shifter cam through the console. I have the material to make the boot, but have'nt gotten around to it yet. The tunnel is completely sealed with 3 layers of rubber sheeting covering the modified tunnel filler plate from the Auto.

Southwell's 1995 Lincoln Mark VIII Here is a shot of the engine as it looks right now. I'm looking at a set of aftermarket aluminum cam covers that will polish up sweet as hell.

Southwell's 1995 Lincoln Mark VIII Front shot of the engine. I don't know if I'm gonna go with a Centrifugal Blower, or a Kenne/Bell positive displacement type. it depends how I want it to look, but most importanty....Perform.

Southwell's 1995 Lincoln Mark VIII Last shot that I got of it. You will notice I cut the resonators off of the intake tube. The Roar from the TB is friggin awesome in the passenger compartment now.

Southwell's 1995 Lincoln Mark VIII Here you can see how tight the MC area got. there is NO MORE room in that area for ANYTHING.

Thats it for now. I'm ordering new carpet, new seat leather, for the interior, and a 5.2 stroker rotating assembly to go underneath a set of Ported,polished and cammed 04'Cobra heads. I'm looking to produce at least 500 at the wheels, so the T-45 is going out the door, to put a T-56 in it's place. I'll update all of you about that as it happens. Mike

Nice deal buddy, i beat up on a 96 t-bird, bought a 94 t-bird, just picked up a 97 Mark Viii and its unbelievably better in almost every way. Rocks sorta side to side on rough roads. Minor down side to air ride with tight sway bars. I always wanted to go 5 or 6 spd just because its more fun. Never had the extra space or ride until now to do so. If ur T-45 is for sale let me know.
