Hey there wise folks of the Lincolns of Distinction, I am building a Restomod 1957 Ranchero and I have a 1995 Mark VIII drivetrain, 4.6L four cam engine with the AOD transmission and other pieces and parts along the electronics line.
I have a hard time with the 1995 intake and throttle body, it is WAY too low and REALLY far back on the intake. I have a nice gentleman who will sell me a 1997 Mark VIII intake, with all of the bits, injectors, EGR Tube, throttle cable and all of the necessary bits to make it work. My question is, Will this intake bolt to the '95 engine? I can fabricate a lot of stuff, but adaptor plates are out of my league and I'm just looking to make this engine as serviceable as possible once it's on the road.
I am NOT building a Hot Rod, I am building a modern take on the '57 Ranchero, I am using Lincoln emblems and hood ornament and have just decided to make it a 1957 Lincoln RanchCustom, I have the emblems made up that look factory, but I REALLY need to get the throttle body up where I can work with it and all of the electronics easier....
HELP an old guy out, if you know that this intake will fit or not, Let me know PLEASE!
Thanks in advance for your knowledge/advice in this matter
