I have found out there is no saving my block with out resleaving. I figure it would just be cheaper to find another block. Been searching and searching on the lincoln mark 8 swap and would like to hear from someone that has done it. I have been seeing things like 93-95 lincolns have different side bolts, and their is a difference between fwd and rwd bolt patterns??? Is there a certain year I should be looking for. All my plans are is to take my internals from my teksid block and put them into the lincoln block. still keep everything else from my car. Thanks for any help guys. Sorry if I'm killing this topic. just need some hard facts.
