I have a Hellcat but
by menesesjesse » Fri Mar 03, 2017 10:50 pm
Ultimately I love the LSC and its ride. I often drive it to work. My hellcat while cool is not a Lincoln. Giving the choice I think I would rather have a perfect GTC over my Challenger. That would be an awesome balance of power an luxury.

Well then get started.
Find yourself some 03/04 Cobra parts, and begin upgrading the LSC to better than GTC standards. I've decided to give the rear IRS project a shot, and sell off some Fox rear pieces(PHB and TA kits). I gather the IRS isn't as bad to make fit as I thought. Bite the bullet and get into the Grigg's front suspension parts, and let go of the air springs(or do a lot of fabricating to keep it).
If you can locate the parts, and you have the patience and time, go at it and build a nice road car Lincoln.

Are you planning to buy a GTC?

Wow you have a Hellcat? I love the new Challengers as I originally had a '71 Model with a '69 383HP out of a Road Runner. Anyways, with regards to the Lincoln I would suggest a Coyote Swap or build the Windsor up. I also agree with CDW6212R here with regards to the suspension.

This guy swapped his Fox Thunderbird to IRS which is better explained in this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KwyBnX4UBw

That's cool, another IRS in a Fox chassis. The Thunderbird suspension is identical in the back except for the air springs we have.

Yes, it is. This car was for sale a while back for $7k? I'm not sure if it sold or not, but, if you look on CL it still might be listed.
