i have a 11986 lincoln town car that in the next week or so i am going to do the H.O. conversion to and i was just sitting around and thinking, "Has anyone ever supercharged a Lincoln town car?"

anbd that is my question, Has anyone ever supercharged a Lincoln town car? cuz if someone has id like to see some pic's of under the hood.

I don't know of any, but I'd love to see it done. Heck, I wouldn't mind doing it myself :)

I believe there is (or was) a kenne-bell unit designed for the Ford Lightning. The Lightning has an intake that faces the same way the Towncar unit does. If you could find one of those and the Explorer or Cobra type lower manifold that would mate up the Lightning blower, I think you'd be well on your way.

I know someone who is planning to do an Eaton M90 from a Supercoupe on his 89 Country Squire wagon. Same accessory setup as the Towncar. One of my friend's customers is considering I think a Paxton or some other centrifugal type super for his 89 Colony Park wagon, purely for added passing power and highway fuel efficiency. I like the idea of a supercharged Panther, it would be fun to completely embarass people in "granny's car". My car already handles far better than most people would ever give it credit for. It would be nice if it had the motor to go with it.

that would be awesome to go schmoke ppl in a lincoln.

another thing thta would be fun would be to put a 460 under the hood of a town car, my dad doesn't think that there's enough room under the engine bay, i think he's wrong

Its been done in a Crown Vic. A friend of mine is actually planning a 545 or some stupid large 460 based stroker engine for his 84 Grand Marquis. You can easily fit 351 based engines in a Towncar. I've had my hands in a 408 stroker powered 84 Towncar, and the factory un-modified hood closed on top of it with an air cleaner in place. 351 motors bolt straight in, zero mods to the engine mounts.
