Lincoln DOHC Swap

[TejasGT]

If I was to pursue this swap, do I need the computer from the lincoln? Anyone have any knowledge of making this swap?

I would assume you need a ECU for a DOHC 4.6?


but I dont know

 

[glittle75]

you will need the ECU (computer) to get it to run yes, or you could have your stock computer re-flashed.

 

[joelbegt]

It will run and drive with the stock gt computer.

If you want the full potential you need to tune your gt computer take advantage of your setup and raise the rev limiter. The gt computer just wont control the Intake runner buttflys or have knock sensors. you will need to lenghten a couple wires and possibly modify the lincoln alternator if you get a cobra intake mani. you will want cobra exhaust manifolds too.

+1, it'll run on the stock ecu but you will need a tune asap

Will it work like that on 94-95's or only 4.6's?

No. 94/95 have a 5.0, so new computer, wiring, k-member, and maybe more. Not worth it.


For the swap you do not have to have the cobra computer, reflash the GT's. The GT's wiring harness works perfect. You will have to delete the IMRC (butterfly valves in the intake). Get a cobra intake manifold and go from there with it.

What Lincoln? Hope your not looking at a Continental because that won't work.

I think you just need the IMRC delete kit since your stock computer can't control them.
