ACPT Carbon Fiber Driveshaft for Lincoln Mark VIII (1998)
The ACPT Carbon Fiber Driveshaft, model MW-35AW-35-58.18, is engineered specifically for the 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII. This driveshaft represents a significant upgrade over the stock aluminum unit, which is prone to twisting under high torque conditions. With this carbon fiber alternative, you can expect a substantial increase in performance, particularly in high RPM scenarios.
Performance Benefits
Designed to handle over 800 horsepower, this driveshaft allows for a 1000 RPM increase in engine speed, enabling the engine to operate closer to its power peak. The lightweight construction of carbon fiber—approximately half the weight of steel—reduces rotational mass, translating to improved acceleration and responsiveness. Users can anticipate rear-wheel horsepower gains exceeding 5% simply by switching to this driveshaft.
Technical Specifications
- Material: Carbon Fiber
- Weight: Significantly lighter than stock aluminum
- Power Handling: Rated for over 800 horsepower
- RPM Increase: 1000 RPM
Installation Notes
While the ACPT driveshaft is a direct replacement, it is essential to note that aftermarket driveshafts may have slightly larger dimensions than factory specifications. Ensure a minimum clearance of 1/2 inch within the driveshaft tunnel to accommodate the new unit properly. Minor adjustments may be required for optimal fitment.
Vibration Dampening
One of the standout features of carbon fiber is its inherent vibration dampening properties. This characteristic not only minimizes rotational power losses but also contributes to enhanced power delivery to the wheels during acceleration.
