Pretty cool swap! Do you have any pics of what you did for motor mounts? What oil pan did use?( pics of its relationship to the bottom of crossmember ) and any issues with the steering rack being "over boosted"? Or is that pump off somthing that allready had a rack ? And last but not least, did you make your own lines ?(pump to rack)
Sorry for twenty questions, but I'm putting a vic crossmember in the caddy and think I have most of it planned out, but like other ideas too

Definitely should be a nice sleeper. Does the rest of the car look stock?

The PI vics are the good ones, too. If I remember correctly, they have a better driveshaft, rear axle, and suspension. "Better" in this case meaning stronger and more robust.

Are you keeping the Ford 4R75 tranny? Or did you keep it, rather.. being past tense, and all.

Nope swap the 4l60e in there. Yes the whole car is stock. Going to sell these mustang 19inch wheels and put some stock 16inch steel police wheels for more of a sleeper look

That's awesome.
I'd love to do this with our 04 Interceptor.
How hard would it be to do this swap and keep the 4r trans?
