I am not really sure if it did. I guess I could see with doing a VIN search. Right now it has a 4.6 ltr from a 97 T-bird. I will replace that one with a 4.6 DOHC from a 97 Lincoln Mark VIII

No although it wouldnt be hard to replicate. Its a Jim Meyer Mustang 2 front assembly. Pretty spendy. I didnt have the cash for the RideTech bag over shocks to fit the perch they provided, so I am going with a longer Bag over shock with more suspension travel then the 1.5" stroke of the RideTech. Thats why the new weld up begins.

Anyone got access to old Chevy Vans 70-78? I need a steering column from one. PM me if you might see one in a picking yard.
