i started a thread using a mountaineer, but when i got it home from auction the previous owner had ripped out the front drive shaft and transfer case. so i went back to auction and found something even better! a 2005 lincoln aviator with 100k miles for $1100. listen to these specs.
AWD , 4 hi & lo
Heat/Ac power seats
Cruise I'll keep. Along with as much of the aviator console/dash I can make work
3.73 independent 8.8 rearend
4 wheel upgraded 13" discbrakes
4.6 dohc 32 valve 302 hp coyote motor
113.7 x 60.8 front 60.9 rear
Traction and tilt control with on/off switch
0-60 in 5.9 sec 89 mph that should increase a lot when it loses 1500 lbs. and cats. When I have it tuned with a k&n intake. I should get close to 400 hp. I may still want more, but I was impressed with its speed when it had the aviator cab on it.
I live an 1/8th of a mile from the kennedale 1/8th drag strip. I'm looking forward to taking it there.
If anyone knows any best bang for the buck upgrades for a 4.6 it would be truly appreciated!
im going to sit the aviator cab on an explorer chassis so i can still sale it for enough to get my money back, I hope.
