SWEEET car dude! Just think how it'll run with a blown LS which would fit under the stock hood and some drag radials on Marauder wheels. Ultimate sleeper. Everyone would think your a cop though.

not with that thing sticking out of the hood.

even with merauder wheels, no tints, exhaust and fuzzy dice, everyone still thinks you are a cop at first. now, with drag radials on weld draglites, merauder wheels in front, and a little bit of blower sticking out of the hood, nobody thinks youre a cop. amazingly people dont give the car the credit it's due. they think that is some huge(it is huge), heavy boat coming down the road. what they dont know is that with this motor swap and the mods i noted before that it is in fact fast enough to squeeze by 03-04 cobras and similar cars. not to mention the really funny and amazed expressions that you see on the faces of everyone that sees the car

any 1/4 mile time?

not yet, were a little worried about the stock crown vic's transmission holding up to the almost 500ft/lbs. that the motor should be making. the stock transmission is only rated to hold in the area of 450ft/lbs. and around the same amount of hp. needless to say we are right at its power limit. as soon as we take it though, ill let you know.

put a T56 in it

wills55 · 08-16-2007, 07:10 PM

would be cool to go t56, but he is really set on the bench seat and column shift thing. i agree with him, the column shifted bad ass bench seat car thing is really appealing to me too. kinda like how my chevelle used to be. 540ci, th400, bench seat, column shifter, everyday street car. the t56 is for his '80 camaro

I would like to buy a vowel please so i can spell FSANE's last name :-P

jfman · 08-18-2007, 10:45 PM

I would buy an old impala SS instead

wills55 · 08-19-2007, 09:43 PM

impala ss is a nice car indeed, no doubt about that. however, it weighs a ton more than a crown vic. nice car never the less

79nova · 08-19-2007, 10:28 PM

i bet they are about the same weigh,

wills55 · 08-20-2007, 01:32 AM

1996 chevrolet impala ss curb weight -4218lbs.
2000 ford crown victoria (civilian issue, not police interceptor)- 3780lbs

Anyone seen the May 08 issue of Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords. This car is in it but with a TKO600 this time around. Some much for the column shifted shiteomatic huh! Hey wills55 any new vids of the new setup.
