Much to the delight of some of my Ford buddies I have a build coming together with a Hot Rod Lincoln Engine. I have no clue who sang about that HOT ROD LINCOLN gunna drive me to drinkin song. (any help here appreciated) but check out the photo below. This 32 valve fire breathing baby is in a Cobray-C3. Carl has also sent me photos of the completed headers and can just sneak the injection under the hood, Tight but Carl said the injection manifold fits. He has done a great install and thinks this will motivate the car like a rocket.
The Cobray is not a clone but a Hot Rod with its wider and longer footprint sitting on a 3rd generation vette chassis so no conflict of a non era correct engine anyway. What do you think guys, how will this handle?

Many have sung Hot Rod Lincoln. The most ofter heard version is by Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airman.

Is the Lincoln based on the Ford 5.4?

Cool song, should make for a cool car, that 'Hot Rod Lincoln'.

Hello Ernie,
I think it is the 5.4 ltr, He did mention it was the higher HP model and has had the ECM reworked for even more ponies and control. Here is a side view if that helps determine 5.4 or 4.9?
