Good to see that the Lincoln is still around - that project should give me something to follow well into my retirement after you are done with this puppy!

Yes, I'm still planning to get to that and still planning that it be no where near the build project the frankenferrai engine became. Order rods and pistons. the heads need to be machined but I probably need to give those to someone with a CNC as I planned to cut the chambers a little deeper. That leaves only the intake and blower setup for me to build....I saw a double blower on some other 12 so it basically went end to end which was kind of cool...unnecessary but cool so I'm pondering that a bit. The actual big project there is whatever the engine is going in.
One hiccup is I have 2 boys growing up. The older is now 13 1/2 and starting to pay a little attention to cars and no doubt in 2.5 years will want one. Mama envisions a vw jetta or similar, son envisions a race car which would take a bit of time to create and I did tall him I would be happy to help, not do, help with anything he'd like to build. I worry about starting to soon as thought change pretty quickly at his age but I also worry about starting to late to get it done...assuming he gets what he wants not what mama wants his to want.
This all puts that much more pressure on my to wrap up the ferrari engine build and stuff like me doing a solid 10 hour day stuccoing yesterday doesn't help and I will spare you the pics
