    OK... going out on a limb here. Been out of the hobby for awhile. Its been a few years now since I was forced to sell the Regal. Beggars cant be chosers, and I currently find myself with a 85 Fox chassied car. So if anyone has any 5.0 Ford stuff taking up space, LMK. Very much would like to find stickshift stuff. Thanks!

    WOW! A mid-80's Continental. With custom paint and wheels. I've got F/L/M stuff but it's all older that that. Is yours EFI or CFI?

    EFI, throttle body. I'm thinkin that needs to go.


    LMK on those headers. I can meet you at a cruise someday if you'd like. Wasnt goin to Moon today. Actually...dunno anything about it.

    I'd keep as much of the EFI system as you can. Most of the speed parts for a 86 to 89 5.0 will work. One of the modiifications is converting from speed density to mass airflow. In doing so you can get the most out of all the other stuff out there.

    With a little work you'll have a sleeper that will suprise almost everyone. I would never have considered making a Continental into a Q-ship:beer .
