I just was wondering or would you have to swap the heads to go with it?
will a DOHC off of a Mark VIII fit a SOHC?

The Mark Engine uses actuators to open the long and short tubes at different RPM's doesn't it? This would be a nightmare to make happen without the Mark computer, I really doubt that it is possible to make it function properly if it does fit. For the time it would take you could problaby have the whole DOHC motor in.

I believe...
The thing you speak of is the IRMCs. There are delete kits, but you'd lose alot of low-end torque.
On a sidenote, my SHO has a dual runner intake, and the secondaries are controlled by vacuum. Might be possible to make them vacuum actuated.

Coolant Change
Engine - 4.6L & 5.4LHey folks, long time no post. Not that I post often... I've noticed my coolant becoming a bit rusty and low. I'd gone into a general repair shop and the guy immediately warned me that it would start a lot of issues to do a coolant flush because my car is so old (96). It's almost as if he was...- 17

Engine - 4.6L & 5.4LI think maybe this might be interesting to a few...and may answer many of my questions. I Broke a piston in my 95 SC recently and stumbled across a good deal on a wrecked 10th Anniv Cobra Convertible.
