To anyone,
I am looking into getting a new car in the very near future and was curious about the differences between a 97-98 Cobra DOHC motor and the DOHC motor used in the Lincoln Mark VIII of the same years. I know there is a lot of differences in the cars themselves, but what about the motors? Is it simply a cam difference or are the heads themselves entirely different? Is there any difference in the blocks (i.e. aluminum vs. cast iron)? I am very interested in perhaps getting the Lincoln, but would like to know if swapping over Cobra engine parts for more power is a good idea. If not, then I would probably choose the Cobra. Any information would be appreciated.
