To update an old thread, I ended up buying a 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII LSC. I am very happy with it, so of course I've begun to mod it right away. ECU programmer is on the way, next is headers, underdrive pulleys, full 2.5" exhaust, and maybe a Cobra intake. It's a bit like driving a bullet train. Good times.
We also did the strut conversion on the car, got tired of the ridiculous prices on each piece that broke on the air bag system (which was nearly everything).
Hers is a 98 LSC in black as well. I wish you the best of luck!

If I had seen this thread earlier, I could have warned you. I truly hope things go well for you with that car. My wife had one when we met (still does 10+ years later), and my god do I hate that car with a passion. If you haven't discovered already, similar to other "premium" badged vehicles, you will always pay a "Lincoln" tax on any part you need that isn't from the Ford parts bin. The ballast for the rear neon, steering rack, interior pieces, etc. Exterior door handles like to break as well, seems to be made of cheap pot metal.
