Best Answer

There were two engines available in a 1978 Lincoln Continental Town Car. A 400 cubic inch V8 with a 2 bbl carburetor and single exhaust that pumped out a very pathetic 165 horsepower. This was the ONLY engine you could get in a car sold in CA or in higher altitudes. The other engine available was the 460 cubic inch V8 4 bbl carburetor and dual exhaust that developed a bit more than 200 horsepower. 1978 was the last year the 460 was available...The fifth digit of the VIN will tell which engine the car was equipped with originally. An 'S' in the fifth place denotes the 400 was factory installed and an 'A' in the fifth place indicates the 460 was factory installed. These two engines were also available in the 78 Town Coupe' and Mark V with the same characters in their VIN's.
