Lincoln LS...with a twist
 

A SUPERCHARGED twist!

This is SPEC's latest project. A 2001 Lincoln LS.

What started as a V6 5-speed car (for the pedals) now sports a 4.6L DOHC blown mill by Sean Hyland. Vortech's YSI Renegade blower forces air into the Ford GT upper-end and everything is harnessed to the pavement through a Built TKO600, SPEC Supertwin clutch, and a custom Ford 9" rearend.

Suspension and fuel-cell work was done by a shop in Atlanta that builds NASCAR stuff and the body and paint were done by Goolsby Customs here in Bessemer. The custom dash is by Dakota Digital and it is unbelievable!

Credit for getting everything wrapped up and ready for tuning goes to Danny Smith, of SPEC Clutch. He wired in the Bigstuff3, harnesses, dash, etc.. and did a fine job. For those who may not know Danny, he races an outlaw frontwheel drive Honda Civic to the tune of 9.40s at over 160mph.

Car was run in and tuned at Balanced Performance by Ed Stenf this week. With some belt slippage above 17psi, they managed to make a 19psi pull to a respectable 745rwhp and 590 ftlbs torque. Should be a handfull on the highway. LOL.

Anyway, look for it at this weekend's NMRA race in Commerce and possibly a few more races/shows that we SPEC will attend this year.

Bad Ass ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Nice car :drool: impressive numbers too

That's straight-up wicked. :metal: The flared fenders really turned out good. :yup:

Is this the one that was at the spec shop a while back. That is a bad ass ride.

i like everything but the digital dash :nice:

I thought that was going to be a turbo car. Or am I thinking of a different build? Either way looks sharp! Bring it to the charity dyno? :love:

Very nice!!!

Shouldda been turbo yes, but when you get an S/C like that for next to nothing, you use it.

Kerry, yes this is the same car; it started out silver. Then he had this idea of a sinister black look and went with it. I like the premise behind the car...it was originally going to be a "sleeper" with same engine combo. Now with wide fenders, huge tires, and very loud exhaust, it's not my cup of tea. Ricer comes to mind, but not quite. Believe it or not, the S/C is not that loud on idle.

Skillet, go ahead and email David. I am not really involved with the car much...but I'm sure he would do it. :nice:

No other choice. The OE dash cluster has its own computer and interfaces with factory Jaguar sensors (it was a Jag V6).
