my first thought was, at the price of propane and it being 50% as efficient - why bother? then I saw Canada and it all made sense.

Cool project! That's a pretty slick idea putting the Lincoln IRS in.,You did a nice job on it. I was thinking the same that a Crown Vic front clip would be pretty slick. I wonder how hard it would be to install? Judging from the IRS swap, it wouldn't be too hard for you.TomOverdrive is overrated

Freetard, Is there somewhere your pictures are hosted? only 2 total are loading on the first page. i'm interested in doing this swap, i have a 1988 c1500 and a full aluminum MN12 IRS with the adco sway bars. the thunderbird has been growing weeds for a few years mostly because i have too much invested in the suspension to let it go for scrap pricing.
