We’re really tearing up this slammed 1965 Lincoln Continental this week! Last time this bagged slab was on the channel, you saw us start to prep the car for our massive 7.3L Ford Godzilla motor swap. Well this week we’re ripping into the engine bay to try and make it all fit! Even though the front of these Continentals have a ton of room, these Godzilla motors are EXTREMELY tall, and will be peeking out from our hood if we used the original crossmember in this Lincoln. So we’re deciding to go the route that many old Ford truck lovers take when it comes to their suspension and swap the entire front of this Continental out for a Crown Vic subframe! Unfortunately for us, we’ll be sacrificing a perfectly running Crown Vic to do so. But with one final burnout to say goodbuy, we part the subframe from the Vic and sacrifice it to our motor swap slab! It’s not as easy as just bolting it in though. So we brought in our old pal Donny to help us fabricate a custom frame to mash our new front end with our old Continental!
With the new subframe installed we knocked out a huge step in this build, but there’s still a very long road until this car is a bagged beast! So make sure to subscribe and turn the notificaitons on so you don’t miss a single episode of this build!

Good video ! Great job guys its a credit to you all
I love it guys! Its awesome to see the thought process and reflection on things to readdress for the better.
Big fan. I loved seeing the process of aligning the subframe
Damn, don is a machine. Y'all got a ton of work done in this video
Put a Godzilla engine in a '65 Lincoln… It'll be Fun they said…
That was awfully nice of Cleetus to leave one Crown Vic on the market for you guys buy.
Seems a front sump and low pro intake would have been a better option.
Really interesting how you made the new frames rails bend out and up to meet with the Crown Victoria suspension and original bodywork.
Don's back I missed him
Glad it's you guys not me on this one but what a beast it's going to be love watching every episode
Awesome! I crown vic swapped my 56 f100, share the air ride info when it comes in! what are you guys going to use to control the Variable Assist Power Steering solenoid? I used a PWM module so I can control it as i like… I used my factory inner fenders, but trimmed them up nice and rolled the edges, not sure if you can do the same…
That is seriously impressive.
Nice update using the Crown Vic front clip. Keeping it all FoMoCo.
Good progress is being made on this build. I can't wait to see the final product. Good job guys
Say this everytime. Lincoln may be my fav so far. All of your work amazing. No half ass. Hurry and get it done. Just do it right. Hard to find these days. Great day when I c vid post.
this is a really cool project! this reminds me of the LS turbo DMC! incredible work!
Love the attention to detail with all the fabwork, especially with the frame rails. Making them from one piece and then adding the plates over the welds? Awesome stuff. Adds a ton more strength where others would have just made the rails from 5 different pieces, welded, and called it done. Nice to see it done RIGHT!
Donnie Boy, Loved having you here last week. can't wait to see you soon brother
You guys need to build an Italian car! It would be amazing. 21:36
I wish it was longer so I can get it all into my small brain. Thanx for bloody good shit man…
6:28 opens garage door "oh shit it's the po"
Hello I would like any and all parts from the crown vic if possible, how can I contact you about this. Thank you
dry sump it
Run some 1.5 tube from the front of the new frame rails up to the firewall area in between tire area and fender aprons to help stiffen up front end similar to the front bars in a 12 point cage. This would also be hidden allowing you to make nice apron panels.
Nice build! This is a cool one
Very impressive engineering
So much going on here. Great episode and nice to see Donny in the mix again.
How much for the motor and to ship it to texas
Dope
Wow even setting up the table and front bracing was a skilled effort. Great vid
Other than watching hundreds of these build videos, I don't know what I'm talking about but these guys seem to know their stuff! Great pace to the videos as well. Pretty rad they were open to people giving them some input as well.
That transmission is probably the size of my engine in my Subaru.
Putting a Ford into a Lincoln
Donny coming back is awesome. Even if it is temporary
Parabéns, o trabalho está ficando ótimo nesse carro lendário.
