Back around 25 yrs ago, one pretty Sunday morning, I got my '67 Lincoln Pervertable out on the 4-lane when it was pretty much deserted, to see what she'd do. It has a 462, the last year for it, in mid-68, they switched to the 460 Ford corporate big block, which was TOTALLY different from the Lincoln 462. The big ol' Lincoln got up to 100 indicated in no time, & had PLENTY left, despite its nearly 3-ton weight. But I started thinkin', you're in an almost 25 yr old car that has no top, loosy-goosy front end, questionable brakes...Mebbe you'd better slow down...So I did, to a mere 70, as if that woulda made any difference..
