I recently acquired my 67 Fairlane and shortly thereafter a 94 MK VIII with high miles but in running condition. I've read about some similar swaps on the forum but none specific to the 67 Fairlane. I'm in the research and planning phase now.
The donor runs ok but has 214,xxx miles. Planning to rebuild at least the top end and timing set. Considering bottom end honing, bearings, etc. Planning to use as much as possible from the Lincoln.

I went with a 94 Mark VIII setup at first in my 63 Fairlane. I used the stock wiring with it's PCM, put in a Moates Quarter Horse, IMRC deletes,l swapped to Cobra heads, cams and intake, Long tubes. With the factory Mark pistons and the B heads, you have a 9.9:1 compression ratio. That's 10:1 basically which is great. Once I put all the cobra stuff on, I thought it was a dog still. Swapping to the Holley Terminator X Max to control it was the best think I did. It doesn't play around with the IMRC crap that I deleted. It really woke the car up. I did end up putting a V3 Si vortech on it too. Plenty of power to go around with only 5psi. The Lincoln is a heavy car. Probably heavier than the fairlane you have. It'll get around and you have tons of aftermarket stuff out there for them now that the Coyote is the hot thing everyone wants. We get their parts they throw out

Yes, I run a Rod and Customs "Mustang II" style front end. I have seen a K member setup with heavily shaved shock towers fit a 4V DOHC between them but that's still a small bay like mine. You have more but how much? I don't know. Get out the tape measure and start looking up engine dimensions. But don't fear the power. They work and are very efficient as well. Sound good too!

I did the swap into a 63 Galaxie before and it fit easily but I had to flip the oil pan and pickup, and run a log style exhaust manifold close to the stock 03-04 cobra manifolds due to tight space down low. You might run into that as well. The valve cover is the widest point but the manifold operation is important. I think you'll fit with minimal cutting or massaging. Give it a trial before you commit to it though. Trans tunnel space is important too. My engine isback and up as far as possible without hitting the firewall or trans tunnel. I have to rotate my wiper motor ever so slightly to clear the valve cover!
