While researching it here for my '84 Linc, didnt really see what I needed for so I went searching and came across this great article for those of us wanting to do this swap on an externally regulated (85 and older cars) system.

with dual exhaust, yes. 86+ with SEFI is 160. The 85 engine did actually have a smidge more grunt to it because the heads sucked a bit less.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

thats what the ford bible says at least, its good for 10 hp and 5 ft/lb torque. considering how craptastic the stock single exhaust is, i can believe it, better mufflers should be good for a few more since the stockers are pretty crappy for performance.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

Wow, I guess that explains the added performance I noticed after I put on my duals.
I always thought it was in my head, or it seemed faster because it was louder.

pretty much, most of it's the cam but the exhaust sure doesn't hurt any.Originally posted by 85MercPark View Post
from the 85 drivetrain book
5.0 cam
Intake 0.3753
Exhaust 0.3909
5.0 HO cam
Intake 0.4130
Exhaust 0.4420
no idea what the duration figures are, but the change in lift is quite a bit.86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).

no doubt, would probably run a lot better. Just figured I'd distribute some info about the cams since I now have a set of factory 85 service manuals that has that info86 Lincoln Town Car (Galactica).
