Lincoln Mark VIII solo 11.72@120.22mph
This is the last run of the day and should have been the fastest as it was getting cold. But there had been some spills and it was late enough there wasn't time to clean it up good.
Supercharged Mark VIII Vs Supercharged Thunderbird
I had the pleasure of running against RobertP from TCCOA the first time he ran in the 10's. He stomped me good but most of the sound you hear is my Lincoln. Thanks to Trunk Monkey.

1996 Lincoln Mark VIII Seafoam Treatment
I seafoamed my 1996 Lincoln Mark VIII today. I haven't done it in a while and it shows. There was a lot of smoke this time. The white '97 Mark VIII LSC next to it is much cleaner. The last time I seafoamed it, there was very little smoke. According to the descriptions on the can, Seafoam is supposed to break up carbon deposits and clean the induction system, valves, tops of pistons, etc. It is also supposed to get rid of the rotten egg smell associated with clogged catalytic converters. Fortunately, my cats are still in pretty good shape. I don't know if Seafoam really works, but I know my engine runs smoother after a treatment. And it sure is fun to watch!
Note: Eventually, I'm going to make a more detailed step-by-step video with someone else holding the camera. This was obviously done very quickly. Next time, I plan to use 3 bottles. One for the crankcase, one for the intake, and one for the gas tank. Now, you've got to remember to change your oil IMMEDIATELY after seafoaming your crankcase. Or else the stuff will destroy your seals and gaskets. Running it through the oil is like high performance Motor Flush. It cleans the crap outta your engine block.

The Mustang Cobra Has A Mark VIII Engine
Contrary to popular myth, the Lincoln Mark VIII does not have a Cobra engine in it. In fact, it's the other way around. The Mark VIII got the 4.6L DOHC aluminum V-8 in 1993. The Cobra didn't get it until 1996. Therefore the Cobra actually has a version of the Mark VIII's engine.
