Please don't rip me a new one, but....

YOU'D HAVE A NICE CAR WITH THE 425HP MOPAR IN AN 81 LINCOLN why not do it ?
That's what I was hoping to do, I see it as thumbing my nose at Lincoln (even though it's a really cool old car) by powering it with a nasty Mopar engine which I love!

You guy's have proven to me that there are affordable Mopars out there and that is still my first choice but I just wanted to do something different.
