no its cool toptechkid27 but listen to this. The only difference with the Lincoln motors and the cobra mustang motors are:
The Cobra comes with a forged steel crank using 8 flywheel bolts, the Lincoln comes with a nodular cast iron crank with 6 flywheel bolts.
The Lincoln uses a different oil pan with a reservoir on the side.
The oil filter/water outlet castings are different.
The Intake cams on the Lincoln are a slightly different profile.
The Intake on the Lincoln is different from the one used on the Cobra, although they do use the same cylinder heads and a Cobra intake will bolt on.
Check these out, there all running the dual cam mod motor.

Before I got my diesel pickup I had a 96 Mark with the DOHC and I never had a problem. I also Had a 94 bird with a sohc motor and had some minor problems. SO I disagree on the 4.6 DOHC motor being junk. All of the mod motors are interference motors I think. I stick to my 385 series Ford motor.....but I gotta ask. What is wrong with the dual cam motors?
They must have changed to the 4R70W about the same time they started putting the modular motors in? I don't know alot about the bigger cars. I know they used to have AODE trannys. My mark and my bird both had the 4R70W and I used to get a flare occasionally when the thunderbird would shift to overdrive, but it lasted the 3 years I beat on it.
