LOL, That was the intent of the bubble bursting, so as to save you from spending a lot of moolah for nothing. I'm think you can use the internals, but the block will not work. The 95 Conti was rated at 260 hp.

Im back on track I ordered a 96-98 tekside Cobra Block. i was looking at pics of cobra heads and lookes like the conti heads are the same at mark viii but milder cams so ill keep the conti motor for the heads, intake etc. if anyone needs crank or pistons let me know and after i build this motor il have my stock 94 mark motor for sale

well now that i have my block on the way i guess i need to look at the crankshaft. im looking at the ford racing forged crank but it need s a 8 bolt flywheel, where do i get a 8 bold flywheel that wil fit the 94 mark a/od trans. or is there a good crankshaft with the stock 6 bolt.

The automatic transmission needs a flexplate, in lieu of a flywheel. For the 8 bolt here's what you need:

(Don't know anything about the seller, just showing you the part(note the Ford part number is given))

Sorry, I haven't been following for long. Why did you order another block? Why not use your existing Mark VIII block? Something wrong with it?

I’m building a motor so I can just do a swap without having my car out of commission and I can get parts as I have the money. I don’t know how much longer the motor will last. Judging the condition of the car when I got it she was highly abused and not maintained. If the motor looks good after the swap ill rebuild it and I want to get a 65 Continental to restore modify and customize.
