I mean you have the right idea...but gonna need some changes in your plan. The computer out of the lincoln will be made for an auto so there is something to overcome there. Then you actually have to buy all the stuff to make your car blower ready. And the lincoln motors probably werent the best internals to build off of. So i'd go ahead and get a rotating assembly to throw in there considering you are getting the car for a grand for one reason or another...i mean it all adds up man. With a built 2v, you can get a forged rotating assemby and heads and cams and have plenty of power and if you want a blower, 2k supercharger kit!!! I mean i really dont see the point of doing a 4v swap anymore. Either buy a car that has the 4v in it or just build off of the motor thats in your car so you dont have to do the electronic bs and all that. Just my opinion but hey, i love the 2v motors because they do just fine and hold their own agains 4v's anyways plus they are cheaper to mod...like cams and heads. People just dont give enough credit to 2v motors as whats due.

Of course theres more to it than just a motor and done yur gonna need a tune, different stuff but i rather just start with a 4v "cobra motor" or a 302 or something I can really build off of im not done deciding what ima do Im a "researcher" and with the cobra blower it came with injectors,blower,intercooler all the stuff needed, rotating assembly of course but it will still be cheaper than a fully built 2v and a stock cobra is pushing 390 so i can atleast get there and blow ls1's doors off
