Anyone done a LS1 crown vic? im picking up a 02 this next week seeing if anyone has seen one. they have the 4.6 so i might be able to use the adapter plates for the mustang swaps and make a trans mount.
Just want to see if its that easy

 

I did a lq9/4l80e in my marauder.

Only documented panther ls swap I know of. Used fox conversion engine mounts and a flipped and modified panther xmember. Reyoked factory driveshaft for the 4l80e splines and made a custom dash.


Done.

 

Wow that merc is sick,killer work man

 

The best Fords came with optional Chevy power.
Good luck.

 

and look how much room is in the engine bay...... flipped manifold turbo.... they only weight 3900 pounds

 

looks like your using truck accessories and intake did they both fit under stock hood?
a racepak for gauges would be sick

 

LOL TF

 

Yeah, stock hood fits perfec with a little trimming.

 

I'm annoyed that my Thunderbird weighs 3620 without me after the swap - which is bloody heavy! If one of my cars weighed 3900 pounds, it would need a serious diet.

 

Marauder weighs 4263 with the new engine

 

Glad i'm not the only one who is playing with the 'ole Bingo cruisers!





Getting there!

6.0L (LQ4), 76MM Turbo, 4L80E.

My last turbo build:

I drive a 2002 p71 daily. I've thought about this swap at length. Can't wait to do it.

 

I am going to tackle the same project soon.

 

Do you have a build thread for that '97, or more pics/info on it?

 

Very nice

 

this is gonna be one fun grocery getter. the cops are gonna be asking for these upgrades.

 

No, I don't Sandmann, well, not that's public yet. I do have detailed build threads on my other projects tho:

forum.gbsb.info

My old Turbo 5.3L Mustang is there, along with a lot of other swaps. The Vic i'm taking pics and making a thread on as well, but won't be turning it public till after it's all done for a bit.

Some teasers:





Apologies for the nasty looking engine, but it's pointless to paint stuff up nice and purdy during the fab stage.

A/C, Power steering, Cruise Control, ALL factory insturmentation, everything remains functional on this one.

 

Moar progress:

 

Inching Closer.

Cold side is up next followed by some wiring and some other details. Hoping for 1st fire sometime in September.

 

Excellent ideas.
