U pull n pay on Seymour. No mud,all gravel. The have gantry cranes u can use to pull an engine, either lift the engine out or the body up. Usually some nice MKIII engines if you want 4v, or grab a 4.6 from an explorer or F150 if you want a 2v.

Don't know if you've been there lately but its getting muddy down there. They need new gravel put in.

If you call this guy and see what year it came out of, this wouldn't be a bad deal. http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/pts/2938559531.html
If the engine is a NPI engine, I would just switch your heads and intake over to this shortblock.

That may be the least of your worries. Check and make sure your motor mounts will work with the block, the contis were FWD.

yea motor mounts work fine, engine is installed, i used my timing cover and just left the one bolt off, guess if it leaks oil ill look for the right timing cover.

as long as you used some rtv around that hole you will be fine. I've done a few that way with no problems.

Cover off a 94/95 Tbird might work? Not entirely sure. I'd run the RTV unless you have leaks.

yea i looked on ebay for some lincoln covers and there quite a few, i know they made a bunch of different 4.6 3vavle 4vavle windors/romeo, but why make a one bolt change? that makes no since at all to me, thats the only thing i can find thats different, but i am gonna try RTV first, i really am getting tired of working on this car and want it done, so i can go back to my 93
