Hello Fordman and Moto Mel, I think you'll guys for helping me make the decision the conversion of the 1997 lincoln continental 4.6l 32 valve. But I'm still planning on buying the car. I know the guy that has the car. He said he quit driving the car cause something keeps cutting the serpentine belt. Would you'll have any idea what's cutting that belt. But he said other that the motor is strong and the transmission is too. So since I'm not going to do the conversion. How can it be upgraded to perform with more rwhp without spending a arm and leg? Sincerely, upandrunning
