What will happen if I put a 97 Mustang Computer in a 97 Lincoln, since they basically have the same engines.

Maybe, but the ECU from an Interceptor(140 mph+) would be mapped out much better for the TownCar. Neither would likely work in the Continental(4.6? Yes. Same engine? No.).

How is it not the same engine. It's a Dohc V-8. Look it up.

Continental is DOHC, transverse installation, front wheel drive, on a Taurus/Sable front subframe, much different transmission & calibration.
TownCar is a SOHC, RWD, same basic transmission as Mustang, calibrated quite differently & purpose built to the platform.

But we were talking about engines. Not that other stuff.

OK...
Continental is DOHC, transverse installation, front wheel drive, (substantially different engine)completely different calibration.
TownCar is a SOHC, Rear Wheel Drive,(substantially different engine), completely different calibration.
That "other stuff" is all run by the computer, so don't discount or ignore it.

Its hard to say. If you are after more performance then just have an add-on chip burned. Your results will be much more satisfying and less risky.

Just about any local speed shop with a dyno can do them.
