2000 Lincoln LS Gets A 4.8L V8 GM Heart, Dreams Of Autocross - GM Authority (blog)
Like most Lincoln’s of the day, the 2000 Lincoln LS wasn’t exactly a shining example of quality and reliability. The fact it sat on the Jaguar S-Type platform didn’t exactly help its case, either. However, despite its many foibles, there are a few bright spots in the makeup of the Lincoln LS: Its 3,700-lb girth is well distributed and all the power from its stock 3. 0L V6 engine is sent to the rear wheels. Sounds like the making of a half-decent project car to us. And that’s exactly what we have here: A tenacious hero who’s currently in the process of swapping out the V6 for a more potent 4. 8L LS V8. The owner even went to the trouble of swapping... According to LSXTV , the owner also plans to check a few choice upgrades at the 4. 8L V8 like a C6 Z06 camshaft , LS1 intake manifold, GTO oil pan, plus a few other components from a ’04-’06 Pontiac GTO.
