well i had just picked up a car and it is an 86 lincoln mark vii lsc,
here is the list of whats done (p.o. had no idea when he bought the car and it sat for 3 years, i found the box of receipts)
engine
approx 20,000 on rebuild
1980 crown vic 351w .030
speedpro h336p pistons
fms M-6250-A311 cam
speedpro roller timing set
melling hv oil pump
comp 1.6 roller tip rockers
bbk shorties
accel points eliminator kit
edelbrock performer 351 intake
edelbrock 750 carb
trans
aod with some shift kit
b&m 2000 stall converter
lokar tv cable
rearend
4.10 gears
suspension
weld-in subframes
lakewood 90/10's upfront
some bilsteins in back
coil spring conversion
strut tower brace
spare parts
c6 trans and some 8"converter
bumper
roller 302 block, complete heads,crank, and rods
dash
bumper
fenders
headlights
a ton of trim pieces and interior pieces
now the bad
the photos i received through email were of the car but clearly of it when the guy bought it 3 years ago. the clear coat is flaking off of some panels, little dings and attempts at paint repair. The motor was making a little top end noise, so me and a couple buddy's dove into it once we got it back from norwalk (where i picked it up) and it would appear that #8 cam lobe has gone flat. so now it is day 3 of owning the car and trying to decide what direction to go with the engine. i am a fan of the aod it snaps when it shifts under light load , i have not got on it because of the noise.
The interior is in somewhat rough shape, dash is cracked and door panels are painted.(my previous dd was also an 86 lsc. so i have a complete running and driving parts car)
i am shooting to have the 351 pulled this week and figuring out what all i need to buy.
any ideas on a good performing cam for the setup listed above? its a non roller and will see the jug probably around a 150 shot. and i am going to ditch the carb for a holley.
i will try to post pics here tonight or in the morning
