I agree. I’ve been hooked on these kind of shows since I was a kid and that always frustrated me. I realized it with project copperhead that Stacy David did back in the day.
@Hagerty random facts about Lincolns the hood and the trunk are usually aluminum It's been like that since forever even on the navigators even on the market even on the town cars. If you've ever seen a Lincoln with a paint is peeling off the hood it's because sometimes they had trouble adhering paint to aluminum.... The hood's not fiberglass it's aluminum. This is how Ford got experience with making aluminum bodies before they went to a fully aluminum F-150... Ford had secretly been putting aluminum panels on their vehicles for a long time.
props to haggerty to bringing on tony and stay tuned. this is real oldschool tuning, not trying to sell me bullshit, or script in fake drama. simple, to the fucking point, and entertaining as hell. A+

Using Autozone adapters and welding stainless to galvanized tubing: this brings back memories of being a broke tuner in my 20s. I have to admit, it's a bit strange seeing it occur in an actual shop.
I'm just watching this for the first time and saw how they routed the exhaust, and then wondered where the wastegate was. Lol. But with their up pipe, I can't see it building much boost in that configuration. I'm only 21 mins in though so I'll see.when it ends I suppose. Lol 21:48
Reminds me of my dad's shop growing up. He's gone now. But still so wholesome to me down to the food deliveres and everything. Man I miss that old man🥲
I can still remember that sweet smell of a freshly rebuilt engine firing up for the first time and the smell of the new paint, and Indian Head on new gaskets all heating up together,the good old days are long gone but i want to say thank you dad for everything!
I work at a local Ford dealer here, and one of these came in. Most everyone thought I was crazy when I said I wanted to build a mark 8. But as you guys are proving, it can be done on the cheap. When the motor lets go, you can do a 5.0 stroker kit, or swap a coyote.
That Mark VIII body shape was certainly top of the game in it's time!!!! And it still is today!!! It looks immaculate, when it's taken care of like a gem!
i was in my gen3 s550 and i saw this pewter mk8 at the light. He revved i thought he just had headers and exhuast and maybe nitrous. Nope he pulled the front end up when the light went green and put a bus on me. I pulled over to ask him what was done. this madman gen 2 coyote swapped and twin turboed it with buttom mounted turbos. the other experience i have with MK8s are my friend chad back in highschool hollowed his out and had a 300 shot of nitrous. Almost got shot when a dude in philly lost to him.
Yes great body and frame... you can build out the suspension and for not a lot of money get it handling too. These are cool to build on and until this video...super cheap lol now everyone's gonna buy em up
I remember rolling in my buddy's 1991 300zx Ttop just goofing around and this mk8 with an exhaust absolutely destroyed us lol. Little do people know they got the 4v
@@danrogy welders can be had pretty cheap these days with overseas brands. You could get a $100 harbor freight flux core mig welder and make it work. Prob won't be pretty but with a little practice your welding.
@MikeyD Flux core wire welding (FCAW) and MIG (GMAW) are two different welding processes. HF's crappy little flux core machines are $150 now and only have a high/low switch for heat control. They absolutely suck for welding thin materials such as exhaust tubing, regardless of experience. A proper flux core welder with heat control is much better, but is still a poor choice for the application. If you are on a budget, a used Lincoln, Hobart, or Miller MIG would be a much better choice. I found my Lincoln 140a MIG, which is still a hobby-grade welder but is in another league above the crappy HF flux cores, for $75 like new in box. Some of HF's higher end welders are actually quite good though, and are relatively cheap considering their capabilities. I have a HF Vulcan ProTIG 205 that is well worth its $1300 price tag and will compete with welders 2-3x its price with ease.
Sadly, with shops out here charging upwards of 12 grand just to fix piston rings and valve seals on these old 4.6's, they will die long before their time is up. It's a shame that these shops out here are all run by profiteering crooks who would rather junk these great old cars than do what is realistically like 2 grand worth of work to keep them on the road another 10-20 years.
My 2008 Mustang has of course the 4.6, I installed a Saleen supercharger at about 30k miles it now has 105k and (I'll say it quiet not to jinx myself) still runs like a top. I blew up the tranny but that 4.6 3 valve keeps on tickin.
@@MichaelMulin 335k on my stock 2000 24valve trans I have the best luck with the worst thing like 6.0 powerstrokes had several with no issues and the Cummins I have now has 335k stock trans no issues doesn’t slip doesn’t struggle to find gears. I also have the agree 4.6l fords take a beating my 06 gt had a blower on it and was awesome my 02 was fun my 2000 was as well and then my others were Fox bodys but this video is making me wanna build something
@Justin Bozeman I'd rather do a heads and cam 7.3 Godzilla with drop in forged rods and pistons, a 3.0 Whipple making 18-21psi on E85 with long tube headers, high flow cats and some really long straight through mufflers to help keep it quiet while flowing plenty. Use a 10 speed transmission with a 2600-2800 stall converter and 3.42 gears in a narrowed 9" in a hard top sedan bagged on 22" Isotope Kennedy wheels. Painted House of Kolors Root Beer brown or Brandywine with a light cream and tan two tone interior and restored factory bright work inside and out.
@B.S. Adventures We were talking about building a 60s Lincoln Continental. They're not cheap to build. Even if the 460 was pulled and built into a 514ci stroker with heads, cam, intake setup, and a C4 or C6 transmission with a Gear Vendors OD would still cost a ton. So, instead of a bored and stroked BBF with a nice top end, that would probably make 650hp with an old 3 speed transmission and OD unit splitting the gears a forged EFI 7.3 with ported heads, cam, and Whipple would easily make 900hp with better fuel economy and rock solid than reliability with a 10 speed automatic. Palm Beach Dyno made 700+ whp with their head and cam 3.0 Whipple 7.3 in their F250 shop truck and uploaded on TH-cam last week. The Gen V Whipple is pretty quiet, and with the super wide powerband that 7.3 and 3.0 would make, it would be perfect in a heavy luxury car like a 67 or 68 Continental sedan.
that isnt just any Mark VIII, it is an LSC from the looks of it. Totally awesome cars and im on the hunt for one in good condition myself. Lincolns are seriously underrated, especially the Mark cars!!! The cobra 4.6 dohc motors are great engines that take very well to boost.
Definitely NOT a 1,000 dollar car, sorry but he's lying., just because is a Lincoln that already makes it be worth 4 or 5k and the perfect conditions is in... nobody will find that car for 1k ever
TONY ANGELO!!!!!! Hey man, I just wanted to let you know, there is a LARGE community of Mark VIII and MN12 chassis people that really appreciate what you just demonstrated. A lot of us have a big struggle trying to make these things perform with the given space, and a power adder. You definitely got something here.
Just don't copy their honky hot side man, that's the worst designed hot side I've ever laid eyes on. Left a lot of power on the table. They should have made one bank do a 180 deg turn and merge both pipes so THEY FLOW THE SAME DIRECTION and then shoot it to the turbine housing. This was a "what NOT to do"... 🤦😂 Or maybe, more accurately would be; How NOT TO DO IT... 😆
@@edwardcollier5949 Not that hot side. Anyone who's mechanically minded will see that one bank is really restricted. The exhaust effectively gas to change direction inside the pipe and go back the other direction and up the up pipe... That's a big No, No for making power...
When I was younger I always considered Hagerty to be an old man's thing. Congrats on the current success and getting more and younger talent. Whoever thought this up needs a raise
I had a 95 mk8 as my daily in high school and my first year of college. I absolutely loved that car. Ran great, super comfy, handled great, etc. I wish I still had it
With all that new found power y'all need some '99+ sn95 PBR calipers up front now, they fit the stock rotors and give you almost twice the pad width. I did this on my 93 thunderbird with ebc brake pads even with drums in the back still it stops on a dime. Edit: in case anyone didn't know the mark 8's Fn10 platform was based on the Mn12 thunderbird/cougar platform/chassis.
The PBRs will work but they would have to switch to the tbird rotors. The mark viiis and the sport model tbirds have a 11.5in rotor vs the 10.8in standard tbird rotors. The rotors are too big to fit inside the caliper bracket. But still a good upgrade.
@@DB-mq4so true I've seen sn95 cobra R brembos on thunderbirds and cougars before. If I wasn't a broke MFer I probably would do this swap but when you consider with a hub swap comes new wheels, tires, and the cost of whatever brake parts you're doing this for it gets pricey real quick. The PBRs just barely fit under my factory 15's so it was the cheaper route for me plus factory wheels keep with my sleeper-looking-bone-stock exterior. If money 💵 isn't a problem for you by all means hub swap.
1st car was a 1993 Thunderbird in white with the burgundy interior. I loved that car. I've always wanted one of these mark 8's. I'd buy either/both of those cars if I could find any that aren't full of rust, road commissions in MI love using salt, sand works just as well if not better on slick roads. Anyways, both are great cars.
I've owned several and they're great cars, especially for the money. They have many foibles, but since the newest is now 24 years old, they've held up well. If I recall, it weighs just short of 3800#. Four wheel independent, DOHC V8, good transmission and, to me, good looking. Seeing this helps me to understand a couple of the members of the club. Thumbs up!
That 98' Lincoln Mark VIII was awesome! Made 400whp is mighty impressive!! So glad you did this all in 1 episode and hope that car stays with you guys! 1st x watcher, earned a sub and all noti.👍
Hope this is a long term project - that block and those heads are capable of a LOT! I'm a Mod motor fan so I'm all about this, these MkVIII 4.6ls are a killer junkyard deal, especially for someone who wants to throw a cheap forged rotating assembly in and let it eat. Love it so far, especially the choice to go cheap single turbo. A lot of the content is based on doing ultra budget builds of course, and being able to fabricate is the key that really opens that door - so maybe a video series about getting into a MIG welder and the other basics of fabrication on a budget? The moment someone can put together a simple & easy turbo setup like this, you're entering another realm of gearheadery lol.
Ry Trappo the rods weren't very good, ( the '03-'04 terminator 4.6 had awesome H beam rods by Manley from the factory) the crank and block were killer. Add the 5.4 navigator heads and that's quite a combo.
@@keithqueen352 they don't have forged rods but forged rods and pistons cost like 1200 bucks or something and you can choose whatever compression you want. I'd do higher compression w boost if you are gonna be running e85. The terminator motor is better but it costs alot more and the car itself costs alot more. With as cheap as these are adding a forged rotating assembly would still have you in budget build territory and you could easily do 700 wheel on stock heads.
Tony Angelo is my favorite builder, dude is a crazy good driver, and his laid-back style is the best. Also I had a tabby cat named Tangelo growing up so he's extra cool to me
I'm an IT engineer and live cars, used to race a bit and I always knew in theory what the turbo does and how it works, role, types, even components making it what it is, but it's the first time I truly understand even visually as he explained @18:55 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻
Tony no one ever reads these comments. However you were some what corect. back, back in the 70's and early 80's, we found really decent cars for less than 2000 bucks. like i paid 900 for my 69 chevelle, my first car i ever bought my 68 javlin i paid 200 bucks for it, and buying junkers along the way like ford pickups ect for less than 500 bucks i paid 650 for a 69 mustang. any way , any way 1975 a friend of dad's, brother gave me a 426 dodge hemi with a chunk litterly broke out of the side of it. I actually welded the chunk back in with a stick welder in dad's farm shop. getting a wore out crack from the guy who gave me the engine, the shop teacher and I at the high school i went to polished the crank for me and made me special shaved over sized bearings for it. and in time 3 years working and buying parts it finally laid down into my chevelle.
Accidentally stumbled upon this channel. This is how projects should be done. One episode start to finish. The tune and track times should be interesting.
The Mark VIII is an awesome car! My grandfather got one new off the lot back in the day. I had a Continental and it was a little less sporty but it still had that huge v8 in it.
As a side note, depending on the firing order of your V8, most will benefit tremendously from receiving a pair of small to average sized twin-scroll turbochargers, as it can improve exhaust scavenging if you pair open and closed valves together so you aren't losing out on power pulses going into your turbo. And because your turbo has two distinct inlets with specially tuned turbine blade and housing shapes, you typically spin up your turbo faster and keep it spooled more with a twin-scroll turbo on a suitable engine. The problem is space. You need to have space around your engine to install a pair of turbos and all of their required ducting. It can get quite cramped if you aren't an OEM who can integrate the turbos directly into the exhaust manifold. Maybe you can consider this route in the future once this engine blows and you decide to pick up and rebuild a salvage engine for it. Either way, still a cool build and turbo lag for days is very much of the era for this car.
Tf does the firing order have to do with anything? You're literally changing the pressure differential in the motor with a turbo. What wouldn't benefit?
Might not be optimal especially on lower rpm's, but as pressure builds up, it doesn't matter as much. Surely that setup leaves maybe 10 to 15hp on the table across the range, but in all its simplicity, I think that piping is just perfect in this case.
I love that someone is showing a mark viii build. I just picked up a set of ported heads for my 98 mark viii plan on going big bore stroker 5.3 making around 400-420rwhp with custom cams and high compression. I would love to see that a full dyno graph of that 394 pass
I'm going lil bore 0.020 MMR 5.0 stroker 2v TrickFlow Race heads n stage 3 TFS MHS cams, low compression, stay tuned, let's see who makes more power man, 09 P71.. Don't go too high unless on e85, good luck..
@@P71ScrewHead I've seen a 2v with 38cc tfs heads on pump gas with a Edelbrock intake and a stroker with custom cams and 12:1 compression make 499.8 rwhp through a manual trans . I will be an auto car with a built 4r70w. If you go high compression you just need the right cams for dynamic compression.
My buddies stepfather had a 1998 Lincoln mark VIII, and at that point she was a couple years old(we took our dates to there senior prom), and that car for the time was quite fast, and super fun. I'd buy one, even today and daily her
Keep doing this forever. Hell I don't care if you get the same Mark VIII and try to create a turbo spec series for them, I'll watch every one. This is was Road Kill USED to be.
Damn, Tony. I was so stoked to see this video. I've owned a bunch of Mark 8's over the years, including one with a 100hp shot of nitrous. These cars have always been dirt cheap for the amount of luxury/performance they have. They can be a pita to work on at times (even getting the oil filter out sucks) but overall, I've really enjoyed them over the years. Can't wait to see the next episode where you take it to the track!
Old man worked for Ford. For prom in 99’ I begged the find a MK VIII. I absolutely loved the rear end light treatment and the front xenon’s which we way ahead of their time. He came through letting me borrow one of his employees cars. That was a great night….
I've been using basically the same Chinese GT35r turbo on my Audi S4 for the last 6 years that they had on the car initially. All i did was drill out the oil restrictor (They occasionally give you a fitting with an oil restrictor that would used on a ball bearing turbo). It's been making 600whp on E85 for the last year, and was making 450 wheel for 2-3 years prior to that. i've ran as high as 34lbs of boost with it and 28lbs normally. They're solid turbos if you run good oil, drain it properly and drill out the fitting.
Love my ‘98 Mark Viii LSC. Got it at 180k miles and you wouldn’t even be able to tell with how good it runs! I plan on bringing her back to her former glory 💖 love seeing this video show up on my recommended!
I've robbed a few of those engines for Mustangs. Few things to note. The wheels are a funky pattern, so good luck finding any replacements. The Teksid block is god tier, but the rods go at 450RWP. Only the LSC models got a limited slip differential, so you might have to do a lincoln locker if you don't want the one tire fire. Something has been done to the transmission, because that is not a stock 4R70W pan, might have the Jmod done.
MkVIII's have a different wheel lug pattern and fit, so those wheels won't go on a Mustang, anyway. IIRC they fit the FWD Continentals and 4 door Jaguars of the era. I replaced mine with 18" aftermarket wheels, since the OEM offerings 16" aren't getting the high performance tires I wanted, built for them much anymore. Those OEM wheels are still valued by MkVIII owners, though, so if you have three good ones and one lousy one, you might sell them on the MkVIII forums and buy yourself a new set of wheels instead. I got Konig 'dial in' model wheels that fit.
@@westellmodel Fronts are easy, any 99-04 Mustang GT hub. Rears are trickier. You CAN use the 99-01 Cobra hubs, but they're tough to find and expensive. Usually what people did was swap the fronts and drill the rears.
I had a '98 like this, for years - right down to the triple-pearl metallic paint. Unless you're just planning to beat this at the track, until it blows, you might want to keep an eye on the plugs. Those early heads only have 4 threads per sparkplug. Enough boost and you'll loosen them enough to fry the coilpack or launch the plug into orbit.
I've tried my own hand at welding before (Not the worst but I definetly need more practice lol), and those are some nice beads he's laying down on the exhaust and intake work. Very nice.
1998 - Mark 8 Luxury Sports Coupe (LSC) was a beautiful automobile. I had a pearl white one that I drove from 2000 to 2010. Unfortunately, spare parts and repairs got expensive and parts hard to obtain.
I got to drive one of these in highschool, I was used to driving a Dodge Dynasty which was basically a New Yorker. This thing was a beast, felt like a race car riding on a pillow.
I paid $21,000 for my Mark VIII used in the year 2000. Had about 26,000 miles on it. And blood stains on the driver side seat belt (I think the previous owner was murdered in it). Went to dealership to see a used BMW, and this car caught my eye - Love at first sight. The interior dash and driver seat - hugged you like driving a spaceship.
Hi mate, John from Australia here, I have paused the video at 3:28 to say that it's great to see you Americans wearing seatbelts, it really is. I'm 55 and have worn seatbelts my entire life, and they saved said life at least three times. It's pretty sweet how they stop you flying through the windshield or into the dash when you hit something, and keep you in the seat and in the car when being ejected from said car would result in serious injury or death, usually death. But top work fellas, now back to the video. Edit: Paused again at 5:10 - Hey Zac, if there's one thing the world needs more of mate, it's Sagittarians!
Awesome! Glad You’re back in Philly @ Tony!! Watched every episode with you and lucky… but I think it’s awesome you’re back home doing your thing. Always doing cool and different projects.
Is centrifugal supercharger like a Vortec for instance would have made it so much easier! Eliminated all that plumbing and the need for an intercooler that thing is sucking in hot air.
After owning a Mark VIII for about 6 years, the front end was a nightmare. I think I replaced everything up there at least twice. And the alignement could never be fully corrected. But it was definitely a monster. I kinda miss it.
I love these videos. I really wish they gave a breakdown of how many hours a shop would bill for this type of job. That way we could do our own math with our local shops.
VERY excited to see you guys work on a 4.6 4v - I tire of LS everything. Also, if you're going to show up on camera, perhaps wear a pair of jeans @3:02 without a gaping hole next to your private bits.
That's awesome guys. 👌 I've been looking into doing a little turbo on my haul truck for a little extra power on hills. This might get me rolling fairly quickly and cheap.
The Mark viii is an awesome sleeper ride! I had a 94 just after high school, and it was an absolute ripper! It’d smoke the tires at 60mph all day. Freaking love that car!
Thanks for doing this build , I had a couple of these cars and I can say , it beat damn near everything I put it up against, so I know you guys is gone be very happy with this build , watch what I tell you
I used to have a 1997 Mark VIII that I picked up for $1300 here in North Carolina and I loved that thing! It had the built in cellphone in the console from the factory! Had to replace the rear airbag suspension and that’s all I ever did to it! My son-in-law needed a car at the time and I have it to him and unfortunately 2 months later it was burned to the ground!
I bought one about 10 years ago as a winter beater for $2000. I was going to do a similar build, but already had a supercharged Marauder, so didn’t have the motivation to deal with the plumbing headaches.
When I was about 9 or 10 years old my parents owned an advertising agency and they did alot of work for Budget Rent-A-Car and they would give my dad a new rental every month. He got an older Mark VIII and that thing was pretty fast stock. I couldn't imagine it with a Turbo on the 32V Intech V8. This was back in 1993 or 1994.
Great episode! I love these engines. I had a 2003 azure Mach 1 I put a procharger on and it made 414 to the tires on the dyno. I currently have a 2003 Marauder. Maybe I'll put a turbo on it now! 💪
Well, I did this back in the 90's. Monza 2+2 rolling chassis. Free. 350 + auto trans out of a nova. $175.00 Used turbo from Buick V6 (like grand nash) $25.00 . Crammed the V8 into the Monza, flipped the headers, bolted on a 4bl intake. Made an aluminum adapter fort he turbo. The turbo used a Rochester carb, so adapted that to a Holly 850 double pumper from junk we had. Paid $100 to a muffler shop to weld up a y-pipe to feed the turbo. Screw the engine hood. had about $400 total. Was fun roasting tires until it threw a rod. 14PSI boost.
@@joeracer302 that doesn't relate to my comment in any way. But "BRO" in any comment, pretty much ever, means "Hi, I'm an idiot, whatever comes next is probably highly inaccurate".

Flux core wire welding (FCAW) and MIG (GMAW) are two different welding processes. HF's crappy little flux core machines are $150 now and only have a high/low switch for heat control. They absolutely suck for welding thin materials such as exhaust tubing, regardless of experience. A proper flux core welder with heat control is much better, but is still a poor choice for the application.
If you are on a budget, a used Lincoln, Hobart, or Miller MIG would be a much better choice. I found my Lincoln 140a MIG, which is still a hobby-grade welder but is in another league above the crappy HF flux cores, for $75 like new in box.
Some of HF's higher end welders are actually quite good though, and are relatively cheap considering their capabilities. I have a HF Vulcan ProTIG 205 that is well worth its $1300 price tag and will compete with welders 2-3x its price with ease.
I have said it a million times, the 4.6 in any form is a absolute workhorse. These engines will still be around another decade
Sadly, with shops out here charging upwards of 12 grand just to fix piston rings and valve seals on these old 4.6's, they will die long before their time is up. It's a shame that these shops out here are all run by profiteering crooks who would rather junk these great old cars than do what is realistically like 2 grand worth of work to keep them on the road another 10-20 years.
My 2008 Mustang has of course the 4.6, I installed a Saleen supercharger at about 30k miles it now has 105k and (I'll say it quiet not to jinx myself) still runs like a top. I blew up the tranny but that 4.6 3 valve keeps on tickin.
Transmission isnt tho lol just like ram trucks cummins amazing motor tranny garbage
4.6 without some form of vvt is best for longevity imo
@@MichaelMulin 335k on my stock 2000 24valve trans I have the best luck with the worst thing like 6.0 powerstrokes had several with no issues and the Cummins I have now has 335k stock trans no issues doesn’t slip doesn’t struggle to find gears. I also have the agree 4.6l fords take a beating my 06 gt had a blower on it and was awesome my 02 was fun my 2000 was as well and then my others were Fox bodys but this video is making me wanna build something

Throw a twin turbo LS 470 with an 8-speed trans and a 355 rear end

@Justin Bozeman I'd rather do a heads and cam 7.3 Godzilla with drop in forged rods and pistons, a 3.0 Whipple making 18-21psi on E85 with long tube headers, high flow cats and some really long straight through mufflers to help keep it quiet while flowing plenty. Use a 10 speed transmission with a 2600-2800 stall converter and 3.42 gears in a narrowed 9" in a hard top sedan bagged on 22" Isotope Kennedy wheels. Painted House of Kolors Root Beer brown or Brandywine with a light cream and tan two tone interior and restored factory bright work inside and out.

That sounds sweet but not cheap.
@B.S. Adventures We were talking about building a 60s Lincoln Continental. They're not cheap to build. Even if the 460 was pulled and built into a 514ci stroker with heads, cam, intake setup, and a C4 or C6 transmission with a Gear Vendors OD would still cost a ton. So, instead of a bored and stroked BBF with a nice top end, that would probably make 650hp with an old 3 speed transmission and OD unit splitting the gears a forged EFI 7.3 with ported heads, cam, and Whipple would easily make 900hp with better fuel economy and rock solid than reliability with a 10 speed automatic. Palm Beach Dyno made 700+ whp with their head and cam 3.0 Whipple 7.3 in their F250 shop truck and uploaded on TH-cam last week. The Gen V Whipple is pretty quiet, and with the super wide powerband that 7.3 and 3.0 would make, it would be perfect in a heavy luxury car like a 67 or 68 Continental sedan.
@@chesspiece81 cool idea.
that isnt just any Mark VIII, it is an LSC from the looks of it. Totally awesome cars and im on the hunt for one in good condition myself. Lincolns are seriously underrated, especially the Mark cars!!! The cobra 4.6 dohc motors are great engines that take very well to boost.
Don't tell everyone bro let's keep them on the down low

Hey man, I just wanted to let you know, there is a LARGE community of Mark VIII and MN12 chassis people that really appreciate what you just demonstrated. A lot of us have a big struggle trying to make these things perform with the given space, and a power adder.
You definitely got something here.
He legitimately could sell that tubing set up for good money
I love the mn12 chassis, I've had 4 different cougars in my life.
Just don't copy their honky hot side man, that's the worst designed hot side I've ever laid eyes on. Left a lot of power on the table. They should have made one bank do a 180 deg turn and merge both pipes so THEY FLOW THE SAME DIRECTION and then shoot it to the turbine housing. This was a "what NOT to do"... 🤦😂 Or maybe, more accurately would be; How NOT TO DO IT... 😆
@@edwardcollier5949 Not that hot side. Anyone who's mechanically minded will see that one bank is really restricted. The exhaust effectively gas to change direction inside the pipe and go back the other direction and up the up pipe... That's a big No, No for making power...

@@MrDwightsimonthey ain't grey
I had a '97 and still miss it. That is a fantastic engine and sounds amazing. I have seen several supercharged, but never turbo'd.
I had a 95 mk8 as my daily in high school and my first year of college. I absolutely loved that car. Ran great, super comfy, handled great, etc. I wish I still had it
I remember Tony's first episode of Hot Rod Garage. He has come a long way with his presentations. Awesome job as always.
With all that new found power y'all need some '99+ sn95 PBR calipers up front now, they fit the stock rotors and give you almost twice the pad width. I did this on my 93 thunderbird with ebc brake pads even with drums in the back still it stops on a dime. Edit: in case anyone didn't know the mark 8's Fn10 platform was based on the Mn12 thunderbird/cougar platform/chassis.
The PBRs will work but they would have to switch to the tbird rotors. The mark viiis and the sport model tbirds have a 11.5in rotor vs the 10.8in standard tbird rotors. The rotors are too big to fit inside the caliper bracket. But still a good upgrade.
@@jasonmccoy6052 good info I have an 93 LX with the 5.0 HO, and wouldn't have known this👍
You can easily swap the hube to Mustang and get the Mustang bolt pattern and open up a ton more options.
@@DB-mq4so true I've seen sn95 cobra R brembos on thunderbirds and cougars before. If I wasn't a broke MFer I probably would do this swap but when you consider with a hub swap comes new wheels, tires, and the cost of whatever brake parts you're doing this for it gets pricey real quick. The PBRs just barely fit under my factory 15's so it was the cheaper route for me plus factory wheels keep with my sleeper-looking-bone-stock exterior. If money 💵 isn't a problem for you by all means hub swap.
1st car was a 1993 Thunderbird in white with the burgundy interior. I loved that car. I've always wanted one of these mark 8's. I'd buy either/both of those cars if I could find any that aren't full of rust, road commissions in MI love using salt, sand works just as well if not better on slick roads. Anyways, both are great cars.
Yes! Love the cheap 90s modular fords. With so many ls swaps this thing is a relief.
I've owned several and they're great cars, especially for the money. They have many foibles, but since the newest is now 24 years old, they've held up well. If I recall, it weighs just short of 3800#. Four wheel independent, DOHC V8, good transmission and, to me, good looking. Seeing this helps me to understand a couple of the members of the club. Thumbs up!

i thought my 740IL was awesome. and it made less horsepower by a fair amount !
@@dannyipwn1203 I need to watch that one.
Hope this is a long term project - that block and those heads are capable of a LOT!
I'm a Mod motor fan so I'm all about this, these MkVIII 4.6ls are a killer junkyard deal, especially for someone who wants to throw a cheap forged rotating assembly in and let it eat.
Love it so far, especially the choice to go cheap single turbo. A lot of the content is based on doing ultra budget builds of course, and being able to fabricate is the key that really opens that door - so maybe a video series about getting into a MIG welder and the other basics of fabrication on a budget? The moment someone can put together a simple & easy turbo setup like this, you're entering another realm of gearheadery lol.
Ry Trappo the rods weren't very good, ( the '03-'04 terminator 4.6 had awesome H beam rods by Manley from the factory) the crank and block were killer. Add the 5.4 navigator heads and that's quite a combo.
@@keithqueen352 You're absolutely right, anything other than the '03-04 Cobra motors and you're going to need to switch to a forged rotating assembly.
@@keithqueen352 they don't have forged rods but forged rods and pistons cost like 1200 bucks or something and you can choose whatever compression you want. I'd do higher compression w boost if you are gonna be running e85. The terminator motor is better but it costs alot more and the car itself costs alot more. With as cheap as these are adding a forged rotating assembly would still have you in budget build territory and you could easily do 700 wheel on stock heads.
@@midnight347 I know they don't have forged rods (except for the '03-'04 terminator) I was 18 when these things came out, lol.
Tony's builds are so fun to watch. Thanks for giving him the funding to execute more bad ideas!!
Tony Angelo is my favorite builder, dude is a crazy good driver, and his laid-back style is the best. Also I had a tabby cat named Tangelo growing up so he's extra cool to me
And he benches transmissions.
I'm an IT engineer and live cars, used to race a bit and I always knew in theory what the turbo does and how it works, role, types, even components making it what it is, but it's the first time I truly understand even visually as he explained @18:55 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻
That hole in the trousers is absolutely hilarious 3:00
Tony no one ever reads these comments. However you were some what corect. back, back in the 70's and early 80's, we found really decent cars for less than 2000 bucks. like i paid 900 for my 69 chevelle, my first car i ever bought my 68 javlin i paid 200 bucks for it, and buying junkers along the way like ford pickups ect for less than 500 bucks i paid 650 for a 69 mustang. any way , any way 1975 a friend of dad's, brother gave me a 426 dodge hemi with a chunk litterly broke out of the side of it. I actually welded the chunk back in with a stick welder in dad's farm shop. getting a wore out crack from the guy who gave me the engine, the shop teacher and I at the high school i went to polished the crank for me and made me special shaved over sized bearings for it. and in time 3 years working and buying parts it finally laid down into my chevelle.
Love this series, been a fan of Tony for years. Awesome to watch a full episode, beginning to end with no interruptions and get the whole build!
Yes!!! This was my favorite kind of content with Tony on Hotrod Garage, and it’s great to see him back at it on TH-cam with Hagerty!
Accidentally stumbled upon this channel. This is how projects should be done. One episode start to finish. The tune and track times should be interesting.
The Mark VIII is an awesome car! My grandfather got one new off the lot back in the day. I had a Continental and it was a little less sporty but it still had that huge v8 in it.

These mark VIII's were a blast. They roll pretty well in stock form. Great highway car. I've had 3 of them with a few mods. Enjoy!
Glad to see you rocking it out Tony I've been watching you since your debut on HRG
Thanks for watching! Really stoked on this one.
As a side note, depending on the firing order of your V8, most will benefit tremendously from receiving a pair of small to average sized twin-scroll turbochargers, as it can improve exhaust scavenging if you pair open and closed valves together so you aren't losing out on power pulses going into your turbo. And because your turbo has two distinct inlets with specially tuned turbine blade and housing shapes, you typically spin up your turbo faster and keep it spooled more with a twin-scroll turbo on a suitable engine. The problem is space. You need to have space around your engine to install a pair of turbos and all of their required ducting. It can get quite cramped if you aren't an OEM who can integrate the turbos directly into the exhaust manifold. Maybe you can consider this route in the future once this engine blows and you decide to pick up and rebuild a salvage engine for it. Either way, still a cool build and turbo lag for days is very much of the era for this car.
Tf does the firing order have to do with anything? You're literally changing the pressure differential in the motor with a turbo. What wouldn't benefit?
Great to see Tony in a new show. Zach is the BEST!!
My Dad gave me his mark Viii, he always told me it has monster potential but I've never bothered to take the initiative till now.
no idea how the air is turning the corner from the turbo side bank but exhaust + turbo - fluid dynamics still = fun. keep up the great work.
I'm sure it's a serious flow restriction, but even with a lousy exhaust the turbo adds loads of power.
Might not be optimal especially on lower rpm's, but as pressure builds up, it doesn't matter as much. Surely that setup leaves maybe 10 to 15hp on the table across the range, but in all its simplicity, I think that piping is just perfect in this case.
I love that someone is showing a mark viii build. I just picked up a set of ported heads for my 98 mark viii plan on going big bore stroker 5.3 making around 400-420rwhp with custom cams and high compression. I would love to see that a full dyno graph of that 394 pass
I'm going lil bore 0.020 MMR 5.0 stroker 2v TrickFlow Race heads n stage 3 TFS MHS cams, low compression, stay tuned, let's see who makes more power man, 09 P71.. Don't go too high unless on e85, good luck..
@@P71ScrewHead I've seen a 2v with 38cc tfs heads on pump gas with a Edelbrock intake and a stroker with custom cams and 12:1 compression make 499.8 rwhp through a manual trans . I will be an auto car with a built 4r70w. If you go high compression you just need the right cams for dynamic compression.
@@jakewiththemark8 Right, I'm guessing I'll be around 350-380rwhp hopefully.. But, let's see what it does actually..

Yeah, they are really great for the dollars involved. LOVE a 69 fastback.
Got an 03 mach. They look bigger than they you'd think.
Damn, Tony. I was so stoked to see this video. I've owned a bunch of Mark 8's over the years, including one with a 100hp shot of nitrous. These cars have always been dirt cheap for the amount of luxury/performance they have. They can be a pita to work on at times (even getting the oil filter out sucks) but overall, I've really enjoyed them over the years. Can't wait to see the next episode where you take it to the track!
goes to show it is not an average engine

Lincoln Mark VIIIs are super underrated. Good looking cars and a great chassis and engine.
Are they still panther platform?
I've been using basically the same Chinese GT35r turbo on my Audi S4 for the last 6 years that they had on the car initially. All i did was drill out the oil restrictor (They occasionally give you a fitting with an oil restrictor that would used on a ball bearing turbo). It's been making 600whp on E85 for the last year, and was making 450 wheel for 2-3 years prior to that. i've ran as high as 34lbs of boost with it and 28lbs normally. They're solid turbos if you run good oil, drain it properly and drill out the fitting.

This was a lot of fun. I fabricated for AMS from 04-07 so I appreciate the work put in to make this happen. Nice job guys.
Tony is such a talented mechanic! love all his videos.
I've robbed a few of those engines for Mustangs. Few things to note. The wheels are a funky pattern, so good luck finding any replacements. The Teksid block is god tier, but the rods go at 450RWP. Only the LSC models got a limited slip differential, so you might have to do a lincoln locker if you don't want the one tire fire. Something has been done to the transmission, because that is not a stock 4R70W pan, might have the Jmod done.
yep to all of that.
Lincoln Locker for the win
MkVIII's have a different wheel lug pattern and fit, so those wheels won't go on a Mustang, anyway. IIRC they fit the FWD Continentals and 4 door Jaguars of the era. I replaced mine with 18" aftermarket wheels, since the OEM offerings 16" aren't getting the high performance tires I wanted, built for them much anymore. Those OEM wheels are still valued by MkVIII owners, though, so if you have three good ones and one lousy one, you might sell them on the MkVIII forums and buy yourself a new set of wheels instead. I got Konig 'dial in' model wheels that fit.
You can convert the hubs to the more common mustang pattern. I believe people use the cobra hubs of that Era. Problem solved.
@@westellmodel Fronts are easy, any 99-04 Mustang GT hub. Rears are trickier. You CAN use the 99-01 Cobra hubs, but they're tough to find and expensive. Usually what people did was swap the fronts and drill the rears.
I had a '98 like this, for years - right down to the triple-pearl metallic paint. Unless you're just planning to beat this at the track, until it blows, you might want to keep an eye on the plugs. Those early heads only have 4 threads per sparkplug. Enough boost and you'll loosen them enough to fry the coilpack or launch the plug into orbit.
I've tried my own hand at welding before (Not the worst but I definetly need more practice lol), and those are some nice beads he's laying down on the exhaust and intake work. Very nice.
1998 - Mark 8 Luxury Sports Coupe (LSC) was a beautiful automobile. I had a pearl white one that I drove from 2000 to 2010. Unfortunately, spare parts and repairs got expensive and parts hard to obtain.

Hi mate, John from Australia here, I have paused the video at 3:28 to say that it's great to see you Americans wearing seatbelts, it really is. I'm 55 and have worn seatbelts my entire life, and they saved said life at least three times. It's pretty sweet how they stop you flying through the windshield or into the dash when you hit something, and keep you in the seat and in the car when being ejected from said car would result in serious injury or death, usually death.

After owning a Mark VIII for about 6 years, the front end was a nightmare. I think I replaced everything up there at least twice. And the alignement could never be fully corrected. But it was definitely a monster. I kinda miss it.

When I was about 9 or 10 years old my parents owned an advertising agency and they did alot of work for Budget Rent-A-Car and they would give my dad a new rental every month. He got an older Mark VIII and that thing was pretty fast stock. I couldn't imagine it with a Turbo on the 32V Intech V8. This was back in 1993 or 1994.
I had a neighbor with a silver one in 1993. I thought it looked so good. Loved the look of the big neon tail light.

Thanks! boost it up!
Well, I did this back in the 90's. Monza 2+2 rolling chassis. Free. 350 + auto trans out of a nova. $175.00 Used turbo from Buick V6 (like grand nash) $25.00 . Crammed the V8 into the Monza, flipped the headers, bolted on a 4bl intake. Made an aluminum adapter fort he turbo. The turbo used a Rochester carb, so adapted that to a Holly 850 double pumper from junk we had. Paid $100 to a muffler shop to weld up a y-pipe to feed the turbo. Screw the engine hood. had about $400 total. Was fun roasting tires until it threw a rod. 14PSI boost.
I used to want a lincoln mark viii when i was younger but never got one. This video brought back the nostalgia for me! awesome work

Holy crap. I'd love to see back pressure in the loop and then pre turbo. It's gotta be through the roof.
ya, bro, but have you tried just turning the boost up? Lol
a cheap two into one collector at least... that merge was "less than ideal"
@@joeracer302 that doesn't relate to my comment in any way. But "BRO" in any comment, pretty much ever, means "Hi, I'm an idiot, whatever comes next is probably highly inaccurate".
Literally cut up a perfect u bend that could have made it so much better
@@jasonbirch1182 You mad bro
I actually like those cars. The 90s mark 7 is cooler but they both are sick lux whips
Real talk I love Mark VIIIs. Just as a concept and an actual car...We need to bring that back.
