One of my favorite cars. Core supports are junk. I’ve seen guys put Gm supports in them . I prefer not worry about it an run alchy with no rad. The front bends in front of thecrossmember then eventually pushes back at the boxes. The rears are stout as well

I'm building a 77 grand marquis for a semi weld show. I have a built 460 I'm going to run in it. My question is can I run normal 4 in 1 headers or do I need the forward offset?

Might be able to get away with 4 into 1s but it will be close to the brake booster for sure if you leave that in. If you get a floor mounted brake pedal you should be able to clear the firewall without forward offset

Got a 76 Ford Wagon… Centerlink setup. Wondering if you guys run that, or if there is something like a Watts Conversion that I could do to make this work.

Anyone ever done the trunk on one of these like they do on caddies? Been looking at mine and wondering if it'd be worth doing or not.

What’s everyone do with the suspension and what size tires are appropriate for these old LTDs. Any advice would be much appreciated, this will be my first build on a car like this
