Although reduced in size, the Grand Marquis retained the suspension design with a live rear axle suspension and double wishbone independent front suspension, with coil springs at all four wheels. In 1985, gas-charged shock absorbers were standardized for the model line, with load-leveling rear air suspension introduced as an option. [9]
Ram-air intake on a Kawasaki ZX-12R. A ram-air intake is any intake design which uses the dynamic air pressure created by vehicle motion, or ram pressure, to increase the static air pressure inside of the intake manifold on an internal combustion engine, thus allowing a greater massflow through the engine and hence increasing engine power.

For 1981, the engine line underwent a revision, with a 4.2 L V8 becoming the standard engine on the base-trim Marquis outside of California; [32] the now-optional 5.0 L V8 was offered on Brougham-trim Marquis and Grand Marquis four-door sedans. [33] For 1982, the 5.8 L V8 was dropped from the US-market Marquis, with sales continuing in Canada.
Air line failure is a failure of the tubing which connects the air bags or struts to the rest of the air system, and is typically DOT-approved nylon air brake line. This usually occurs when the air lines, which must be routed to the air bags through the chassis of the vehicle, rub against a sharp edge of a chassis member or a moving suspension ...
The Ram Air IV used the Ram Air II's camshaft but lift in the Ram Air IV was increased to 0.52 in (13 mm) thanks to the use of 1.65 ratio rocker arms (vs 1.50). The Ram Air IV heads had 1/8" taller intake ports, larger intake port volume with more airflow, yet shared the Ram Air II round exhaust ports.

Previously, Ford wasn't hugely consistent in giving their project's codenames. Ford North America often used wild animal codenames in the '60s and '70s, particularly horses, cats and dogs (Fox, Panther, Bobcat).
In an extensive shift away from its Malaise-era predecessors, the Mark VII placed a far greater emphasis on handling and performance capability (though not to the extent of a European grand-touring car), introducing four-wheel disc brakes (with anti-lock capability), four-wheel air suspension, and shared its 4.9L V8 with the Ford Mustang GT.
