Thread: Showing my Crown Vic some love

Its time for a little modding on it since ive put months of wrench time and ungodly amounts of money into my gtp
Its time i spread the wrench time out a bit The crown vic is getting posi and some 3.55's since im in a dif's and manual trans class...
And because every time i see this i relaize that the peg leg and 2.73's arent cutting it

burning off the old rubber when i first got the car shot with a cell phone but you get the idea

Yea ive been putting it off for over a year and then the gtp got all my time
I cant complain about my current gas mileage its sitting at 18 city and 26-28 freeway
3.23's or 3.55's im not sure yet though
But then agian its getting the crown vic just one step closer to a sts(remote mount) turbo set-up

do a google search for Rocket Couch, modded crown vic that was featured in either car craft or hot rod recently, owner has started a company dedicated to vics, adtr i believe?

chris is a good guy thats where im buying all my parts from he's the one who ported my plenum and i got the aviator throttle body from...
The vic has a couple adtr stickers onit already....

I have one of those!

I have a set of FRPP 4.10s that were installed in my 94 Cobra for about 5K miles. Demodded the car before I sold it. Make you a good deal if you want them. I think the rear end in the crown vics are 8.8" same as the mustangs. Correct me if I'm wrong.

they are the same 8.8 but i believe the splines are diff and as awsome as 4.10's would be with a drag car the crown vic see's alot of freeway time 3.55's is as big as i wanna go i think
Thanks though

You use tha O/D on tha freeway..that would take some bite out tha 4:10's..

i was thinking about it last night and im pretty sure this is the last mod ill do to the crown with exception of cleaning up the body work and some wheels

More i think about it the more i want to build a 70 olds cutty

I have seriously considered getting a P71 to work on. Here is a link to a P71 with a v10...that wouls be sweet.

Yea I wanted to do a 5.4 swap and sts turbo it But im still living in ca and smog crap gets in the way
plus it gets a little pricey to mod crown vics depending on how far you want to take it

if i had the money and time this is how far i would go with the cv

The STS systems are nice...I had one on a 2002 TA Special edition.
