N00b here, I consumed a good minute or 2 of my life reading the rules and saw mention of this "battlefield". Do I need to request access? Haha. I've actually been on CVN for many years, was searching the internets for Mark VII ECU info and noticed there's a lot of good info on this site regarding performance SBF's and Panthers. I've got a '92 with carb'd 289/T5 swap and just bought a 2000 Exploder engine today. Gonna do a full gasket kit, install with 1990 TC harness and '86 Mustang ECU. That's what I've got laying around, but I want to get myself a Mark VII ECU to keep my cruise control and then tune that since it's $600 to get tuned. I just discovered today that Moates.net has the stuff to tune Fords too, so I think I'll go that route. If anyone has the operating system info off a Mark VII ECU though that'd be great so I can verify that it's actually supported!

The battlefield is basically where threads get sent to if they turn into a fight/flamewar or get very controversial. The founders of this site started it partly as a splinter group from a CVN which they felt was over-moderated and had various other grievances with. One of the ways they have come up with to be more to the other end of the scale is that most threads don't get locked and deleted, they get moved into the battlefield. The battlefield is unmoderated and it is generally accepted that what is said there stays there in terms of disagreements and insults and the like.
You get access to the battlefield after 6 months of membership. You can request access before that, but I think that's usually reserved for people who are being talked about in the battlefield or otherwise have a specific reason to become involved in a thread that's been sent to the battlefield.
Occasionally there are also threads started in the battlefield, like people calling each other out, or ones based on very controversial issues.

I remember searching my balls off for you because you're the one who did poly body mounts if I'm not mistaken.Originally posted by Lincolnmania View Post
Yep, on my 2nd enlistment and 2nd job, I cross trained. You joined just a few months before me if I'm not mistaken. As you can see, I'm still at it. The car sat for 4 years while I was in Japan, 1 year while I took my sweet ass time fixing it from sitting and doing the brake/suspension/line/transmission swap, 6 months while it ran but was untagged as I retrained, and a few more months when I got to CO and the fuel sending unit rotted through. I've got all new lines (fuel and brake) front to back now with a rust free CO sending unit, it's been on the road for the last 5 months and has been near flawless, so I think I'm finally getting it right.Originally posted by Grand_Marquis_GT View Post1992 CVLX. 5.0 HO/GT40P/T5/3.73/trak-lok with bolt ons. 02 front CVPI setup, rear HPP setup, CVPI shocks around, F250 radiator, e-fans, and the power of 3G. 15.92@89mph, 2.4 60', 4700' elevation (5500' DA) with 3.08 open rear and the old oil chugging 289.

I just sort of plopped that in there, it's not really indicative of the amount of time I put into it.Originally posted by 86VickyLX View Post
92 is an interesting morphadite year. I actually have to grab box parts to do conversions as opposed to newer parts. Only thing that sucks about that is vacuum canister cruise control.Originally posted by 79lincolnlover View PostWelcome!
