Over repeated thermal cycles, the OEM plastic embrittles, resulting in hairline fractures at the inlet\/outlet necks and catastrophic crimp seam separation. Additionally, the high-revving 32-valve 4.6L Modular V8 generates substantial underhood thermal energy that easily overwhelms the stock single-row core during spirited driving or high ambient temperatures, leading to transmission fluid overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed entirely from aircraft-grade aluminum with precision TIG welds, this performance unit eliminates plastic-to-metal failure points. The 3-row racing tube core measures 22-7\/16 in. W x 18-3\/8 in. H, maximizing fluid volume and heat dissipation surface area. Each unit is 100% leak-tested and features an integrated internal transmission oil cooler and factory-spec 1-1\/2 in. inlet and outlet ports for a direct bolt-on installation into the factory core support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFitment\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e1996-1998 Lincoln Mark VIII (4.6L Automatic)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eModular 4.6L DOHC InTech V8 \/ FN10\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStock Output\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e280-290 hp \/ 285-290 lb-ft (Approx)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:8px;\"\u003eDPI 1551 \/ CU1551 \/ RAD1551 \/ F4SZ8005A \/ F4SZ8005H\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1996 Lincoln Mark VIII Base \/ LSC 4.6L V8 Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1997 Lincoln Mark VIII Base \/ LSC 4.6L V8 Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1998 Lincoln Mark VIII Base \/ LSC 4.6L V8 Automatic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eInterchange: DPI 1551, CU1551, RAD1551, OE F4SZ8005A, F4SZ8005H, FO3010124\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Lincoln Performance Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to support the sustained output of the DOHC InTech V8, this heavy-duty all-aluminum radiator provides the required thermal stability and transmission line cooling for reliable high-speed touring and aggressive street performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50426316194040,"sku":"DS-EH7P28KT2","price":209.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/performance-radiator-for-lincoln-mark-viii-1996-1998-4-6l-automatic-1.jpg?v=1788397819","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/performance-radiator-for-lincoln-mark-viii-1996-1998-4-6l-automatic","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
