| Engine about to be hoisted from a 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII |
After a few weeks of scouting three local junk yards for a freshly wrecked Lincoln Mark VIII, I stumbled upon a gem of a 1998 LSC which suffered a side impact. The cost of the entire engine was a little over $250. It took me about 8 hours to pull the engine since it was my first time and I ran into some trouble unbolting the flex plate from the transmission. I enlisted the help of a local which turned out to be a mistake. What I failed to realize was most junk yards rely heavily on two tools, a large crow bar and a reciprocating saw. Please note that a 6 foot crow bar is not the proper tool to remove an engine.
