This 1966 Lincoln Continental was built by Divers Street Rods<\/a> in Sultan, Washington. We first covered the project<\/a> in 2014 and it sure turned out great. Under the modified hood sits a 5.8 L Trinity V8 from a 2013\u20132014 Ford Shelby GT500. The engine features Ford GT camshafts and 2.3 L TVS supercharger with produces 662 hp (494 kW) and 631 lb-ft (856 Nm) of torque from the factory however a larger pulley helps this engine produce a reported 700+ horsepower. The transmission is a Ford 4R100 four-speed automatic transmission connected to a Ford 9″ rear end. The team modified the chassis and floor allowing the car to ride incredible low. Another subtle change was removing the B-pillar and installing window glass used on the convertible model. The car has won several awards at Goodguys including a builder’s choice award. <\/p>\n
