Top 4 Simple Must Have Modifications ( That Will Wake-Up ) your Crown Victoria. Somebody asked me what performance stuff that really works So Revised it a little ( minus catbacks ) and I was really being honest with myself and I came up with this. Many you guys may dig it, ,many of you will not.. I think is a pretty solid REAL list to add performance to your Crown Vic with out touching the motor AT ALL - Auta a dopravní prostředky
I like your honest down home approach to your builds.
I have to keep it Mega Millions wit ya. We do not have the money drop like that into a motor ( if your not careful ) you can spend in areas with very little victory on hp with these Fords. Sometimes you have to be honest with self 1st vs everyone.
What kind of turbo u have?
@@bstfordchannel923 I have a 99 grand marquis! Can I buy the same stuff?
@@michaelbuffington4047 engine wise yes you can do the same thing.. No suspension you have the old style... That car in the thumbnail is a 1999 vic on a air bags. The old cars are better to slam in my opinion .
“I don’t like wishin’. I like to get things done.” 👍🏻
I hate wishing bro ( car stuff ) or anything i get pissed then active.... Sometimes ( most times ) i scale back cause the money gets funny ( performance wise )
once upon a time I had 2 Mustang GT's, one 5 speed and one automatic... the difference in acceleration and power between them was enormous - definitely a manual if you want power and acceleration (and control). Reason I'm sticking with automatic is for a daily driver I don't want to have to ride the clutch when I hit stop and go traffic - my left knee can't take it anymore!
For daily Vic automatic is the way to go, you said it right Handy Dad stick is a bit much for a daily.. I older so 5 speeding mornin to til the night is not the move.. ahhh man lets the traffic with 5 speed no way lol.. Great comment lol
@bstfordchannel923 isn't there better automatic transmissions you could swap in that would improve performance as well?
@@bstfordchannel923I think it's really interesting seeing different people's builds how some like to build up that 4.6 and others like to throw in that coyote motor lol
I think a Crown Vic with a 2.73 rear gear and a 6 speed auto like in the Taurus Interceptor would be ideal. Tire spinning 1st gear and gas mileage saving 6th gear.
If I get the money and know-how I'm going to swap one of my Vics with that combo
@WJHandyDad if you ever do that would be cool to see a video of
This is the realist video I've seen yet on these cars. Thank you
thank you for this Tom i try to boil down to what really works right now vs other mods some may say
This is the vid I’ve been lookin for. I just want simple performance tips and this is amazing. Thank you!
Thank you for watching and grabbing something from it Qwadry .. You can wake up the car with these
Outstanding, "efficiency tuning ", inherently gives or restores lost power , clean things up . For instance youve seen old engines built up with mud and grease , that insulates the block and keeps heat in. Same with the trans and diff. Or how far can you imrove those heads with a dremel and some patience? Just stuff like that. Keep it up man, i really enjoy the videos.
You are correct on that, Thats what i am battle with ( tickle to 4.6 2v ) just a little or swap out the engine.. Its tough to really sit with all that and decide a solid plan..
@@bstfordchannel923 well a 2V is going to be more difficult to do for power gains , so that being said the finished product will be more of a victory .
Really wanting to buy a crown Vic. I’m been saving up for a while now and your Channel has been so helpful! Thank you
yeah man just buy one and if you have any questions i will try to answer them bro!
Sweet man. That's the exact sct tuner I had for my Stang when I owned it. Now can work on that tune
Right on I am working on some funds and this fan for the intercooler.. that was pain to do. Figure it out now though Jess
AWESOME info... I have the X4 tuner. Logging capabilities,excellent.
Right on! Thats what I am saying YOU got the good 1 lmao.. I have to get that very very soon.. I am so happy you like it so i will love it Paul.. thank you for this comment bro.
This is also the EXACT video I needed. I love that crown Vic that the guy in the commercial owns. That why I got one
glad the video can help you out in any little way Kris.. Crown vic is a hard nut to crack stock
Kris Hutchins I think the intent was to get you to buy mobil1 oil not the car 😂
i am definitely getting a Marty Ochs tune for my 07 grand marquis, i replaced the damaged stock 2.73 rear end with a 3.55 that came off a 07 interceptor plus i changed my stock airbox and zip tube to the interceptor airbox and zip tube. now i just need the tune and im good to go. thanks for always bringing good content your channel has helped me in getting my cars together.
HP tuners will also tune 05+up Panther cars
no problem James glad to assist in any way.. Glad you are getting car together making some progress bro bro. LOOK into what neil is speaking on and ask Marty what to use to upload a tune..
Something else you should do it swap out the MAF to the bigger mustang one along with the bigger TB. THEN order your tune fr Marty. I made the mistake and kept changing my stuff and getting multiple tune upgrades. Do it once and save some money. My 01 Grand Marquis LSE is a decent sleeper..
I gave up on the 4.6 putting an ls3 in it this weekend
Man glad I found your channel, everything 🔥
I glad you are hear CC-516
I love your channel man. It takes a lot more creativity, knowledge and skill to make these bad ass builds out of used junkyard parts. Keep up the good work I’m learning a lot from your videos!
thank you for understand ( no OVERstanding ) the channel Evan , cause that is the meaning of Hotrodding taking crap and making it INTO cooler crap. There is a deeper meaning to the channel and its to be different with in you budget. Lean from others and create and be free bro.
Great video I like how you’re building within your means. So many of these build videos are just as you described just wish lists.
Thank you for that( you get the gist ) of the channel.. people get made when I flip flop..I go where the deals are and what is possible vs what i should do ( cause money funny ) and you can be more creative by just using what around in the junkyard..
I love watching your videos. I'm planing to swap my 4.0 v6 in my 99 mazda b4000 to carbureted 302 with simple mods clean and as easy as it can be done. Alot things I'll have to workout I feel it be worth it. shooting for 280 hp thats all.
thats a real goal VERY doable with very little money.. keep me posted on that bro.. i like that swap
Just found your channel...looking forward to watching more. I have a Crown Vic I need to send you
Thank you for watching the channel bro.. just to warn ya i do junk builds bro... things you can do yourself Gare.. If it was snowing and I had some room i would not mind taking some cars
I love this channel. Always keep it 100
thank you for this bro thats what we have to do.. Can sugar coat car $hit or life.. I see channels do this
I'm one minute in and I already love this.
thank you for this comment here is the other video czcams.com/video/SxIVFtJ1S5A/video.html thank you for checking the video Rob
Like what you do.... You are definitely on my level very knowledgeable about these Ford's... Thanks bro.
thank you for the respect Adrian B... its tough road with the hate, but I signed up for it ( not complaints ) bro. I am still learning on this cars so i am reading and watch and doing..
Subbed imma get a crown vic soon. Appreciate this quality content
thank you for that BIG BRO! thank you so much man serious ...
Love the energy thank you.
I thajnk you for that Nick ... I ejoy just yapping about the Vic, but when I am in THINK MODE or loooking mode in a video i get real quiet lmao
I thought I was the only one still tuning with an x3 lmao..thanks for the great content
man I am low budget this thing was 150 so this is what i am rocking with UNTIL lo... thank you Panther performance for checking the video and commenting
Thank you brotha for all these helpful cheap muscle builds for our cars god bless you brah
God Bless you and yours abWolf.. just giving a little game on the cars... just doing some other stuff now motorcycles so videos are on pause
Thanks, David, very good advice -you rock like 60s soul. Ellla.
Thank you I’ve been looking to see what to do to my crown Vic that I just got and there’s a lot of different options and I think your video has set me on the right course of where to start and possibly were to end with my modifications I think I’m gonna go with the tuner , possibly Diablo … then after that possibly go with the gear change, and then the one that I really really want is to be able to put a manual shifter/transmission, that would be sweet and in between that I’m gonna go wider on the back possibly with spacers or as big a new size that I can fit into the steel wheels that it came with and of Course lowered as much as possible before the wheels hit the fenders once they are sticking out about 2 inches in the back and maybe an inch to an inch and a half in the front
Really knowledgeable guy and explains it perfectly!
Thank you for this... I wanted to go other sizes but many Vic guys
Enjoyed vid and good advice
thank you for that bro .. thank you for the support
Thank you for the video
no problem Kenneth, thank you for the support
LOVE YOUR VIDEO'S. YOUR HONEST, SMART, AND TO THE POINT. I HAVE A '05 INTERCEPTOR.
Thank for this detailed comment. I try to be as honest and practical on the subject. Not a lot of people have money and many people over spend on things they do not need. So i just put this together for the guys on a budget
Great video!
thank you for this comment JB !
I just got a 2011 P71.... I'd LOVE to put a 5 or 6 speed in it! I'll be driving close to 300 miles a day 4 days a week working for a dental lab! Having a manual would not only increase performance but gas millage too. I don't make much money and I'm disabled so I don't know how that will happen but I'm not giving up on that dream!
Agree Max, but just think a 5 speed or 6 speed would be a pain in traffic lol.. Some days you will wish for that automatic , but you are correct on those other points... Just giving you some thought
2011 is a P7B. I know because I have one. 2010-2011 are the only p7bs. No difference between the p71s
hey, these are the exact mods I plan on getting for my Vic. Good to know about the gears out of the Explorer, mines a 2007, should fit right in.
yes they do I out a set in my car with the traction loc.. It was pain but it worked out so far
Thanks, good job.
thank you that brother!
All us crown vic guys are blessed to have you around making no nonsense videos my man! 💪👍🏆😎 I got a black 07 and it came with an aftermarket exhaust... I miss the old throttle cable setup but the dbw is still pretty tight.
Only problem I have is the infamous instrument cluster flatline shit.
Btw I rattle canned my wheels and it looks damn good!
simple mods and simple things you did to your car ( ithats what its all about ) enjoying and having fun learning.. The exhaust is a plus if you can just get a tune . you will feel the difference bro. In many cases keep it stock but the tune will be best mod over all.. Thank you for the comment I needed that brother.
@@bstfordchannel923 bro I had 3 vics and a northstar.. I'm back to my 4th crown- fragile f##$in Cadillacs can kiss my ass from now on!😄👍
@AUTONOMEN x it was good while it lasted...and then.... everything at once. Bushings and water pump are ridiculous... forget about replacing the instrument panel.
New subscriber David B. Thanks for posting. Ditto what Dennis Lewis said, I like your honest down home approach. Obviously you know Crown Vics. Thanks.
Thank you for the sub Freddy!.. I know a few things not the guru lol... When i learn something I send it out in video form... If a break something i send it out on video form,,mant guy front like they are the best and never mess up ( i am not the guy ) I want have fun with the vics
@@bstfordchannel923 I edited my post. Should have said "ditto" what Dennis Lewis said. Thanks for the response. I'll be searching for more of your vids.
@@fasteddylove-muffin6415 I honor you comment brother I hope to speak to you soon bro..
Say it Crown Vic Precher man! I have done most of what your talkin about man. And when I put the pedel to the metal, especialy on these swervy, up and down round an round hilly roads, my son cheeses, I just groove it major, and my 81 yr mom gets this sierious, "I just kicked somebodys dang ass" look, for real bro. She just loves that machine! With her sun hat and dark glasses on, YEA!
I second this
you see what just said was gold.. its a FUN car and enjoyable.. Thats the real FEEL you want out of a ride... thats what I want that same feeling bro... I love this story
Moe’s Speed Shop did my 5- speed swap tune! They are awesome. Dussault Fab makes an angle kit for the Vic now!
I have SCT X4 tuner. It can change the shifting point, and change the speedo meter reading. So, if you are putting large size offroad tire, it can fix the speedo meter reading.
THATS what I need right there bro.. I cheaped out lmao.. thats the route to go.. I am glad you went there now it my turn.. Great comment
You just saved me a ton of money. Thank you sir.
Dude, you killed this video.
(I mean that in the best way)
What a good video.😊
I thank you for that GMS09! This are a bit slow , but I will be at it bro...
Love the shifter knob
Man I got some hate on that lol.. Thank you for digging it and david
I learn from watching your videos. I don't own a Crown Vic. I drive a 07 Lincoln Town Car Executive L. I bought the car for $2,700 with a sound system. I love my Town Car. 413,000 + miles and drives nice. Friends and family tell me that the Town Car goes with me instead of my Toyota Yaris. I want a Crown Vic, that Benz, BMW, Audi, Cadillac will see my rear license plate. Lots of $ to achieve this but, it could be done. Appreciate your knowledge and work. Thanks!
Peace be with you and God bless
thank you for this YOU sir have the car I want.. i have to get back in the Lincoln game for sure now.. Thank you for the support and the comment.. God bless you and yours Adam.. keep that Lincoln -L running bro!
Ma man a BALLLERR 🙌🏻💯
Love your vids bro. I have a 01 vic with few mods,your vids inspire me and give me more ideas.i want do 5 speed but cant afford it at moment. The explorer rear end drops right in vic direct swap? I think i have 355 gears but not sure .defintly has a posi did burn out other day tested it.
the diff from the explorer ( the diff guts ) gears and traction lock.. NOT THE WHOLE REAR they do not swap in ( diff only ) .. to really check just jack up car and turn the wheels they should go in the same direction.. IF not then there are open diff ( moving in different directions ) The 5 speed is the best hit ( in my opinion )
Appreciate the content homie....
Currently moding my Crown Vic.....

That sounds like a very COOL and simple set-up that everyone needs to do... Vs all this turbo crap like i am doing ( its a headache ) but cool to... Thank you for this Phil!
Afe cai is a huge waste of money, i returned mine. after finding out it didn't increase air flow at all, over stock. Afe is one of the only cai kits that won't cause a check engine light. You don't even need to tune it after installation of the afe. Because it does not increase air flow enough to lean out bank 1 or 2. Completely overpriced garbage. I bought the little aluminum cai kit off of ebay and it immediately throws a check engine light and definitely needed a tune after installation. Marty ochs even had to ask me which cai kit i had. Because he hasn't seen one that allowed that much air in. He said the afe is no better than the stock air box. He had to rewrite my tune to compensate for the aluminum $30 universal kit off of ebay. Afe is a joke.
Throttle body spacer is pointless and waste of money.
Magnaflow is pointless and waste of money. unless you have obx or stainless works long tube headers. Then your exhaust would need those upgrades.
The most important mod for these you didn't even mention, is the jmod.
All of the stuff you listed on here is a complete waste of money. When most of it can be duplicated with no cost or little cost. All the exhaust stuff you mentioned can be done damn near free. If you know how to weld and got time.
@@KyrieEleisonMaranatha cold air intakes are a waste of $$$$ in the cold months YES they work. If its hot out NOPE its a hot air intake stock is better
@@bstfordchannel923 but yes they are pointless at bringing in "cold air" unless you have it set up to receive cold air. But even then in the summer by the time it reaches the engine it's hot air. I always feel a power increase on the cold winter days. Or at least my mind be playing tricks on me. 🤪
So helpful 5 speed yes!!!!!
right on bro!
I just bought a crown vic. Planning my mods carefully
please do Andre make sure you research what you can do and what you have to source out to be done.. Find a cool mechanic that can do the work ( thats should be 1st )
@@bstfordchannel923 thanks for the advice. When I bought a crown vic, I found out that this crown vic was a 2008 police interceptor. Also I'm glad that I watch your previous video. No mods for the engine for me.
@@andrewilson8530 No need for mods ,just enjoy the car UNTIL you get to a point.. Then you plan correctly vs my way of planning in the beginning. Thank you so much for the support and keep that car stock and clean brother
I like the 30mpg highway I get with my 2.73 rear. If I ever run into a good 4.6 4-valve I'd swap it in. The manual trans swap seems like trouble.
the manual swap isnt that bad in 92-2003 vics the others models would be kinda tough . there is few things YOU have to do.. 4v i may do 1 of these and thats it.. its not my Favorite engine buy its cool looking
I don't trust the 4v's reliability
Manual swap is a dream. Awesome car.
Preach!!!
If you want to just go all motor, I would suggest a 5.4 Triton swap. You probably have that motor sitting somewhere in your garage. 30-40 extra horsepower and 60-70 more torque over the 4.6. You may have to modify your hood to get it all to fit but all in all a great swap that's practically free.
i have 5 motors in the garage 5.4 ,351 , (2) 4.6 2v and a 302 with t5. So this is where its f up.. i explain the theories and crap ( mentally 0 with the builds i battle with for viewing..
@@bstfordchannel923 To be frank, the 5.4 is your best and most easiest way for more power on the cheap. It basically bolts up to almost everything under the hood, hardly any modification required besides cutting a hole in the hood unless you use the 4.6 intake. It's almost literally plug and play. As far as viewership, how many videos can you find out there that documents swapping out a 4.6 for a 5.4 in a panther AND making it work? Hardly. All you see are LS or coyote swaps and that's been done to death. YOU have the power to be unique. Obviously you get to decide what engine swap or power adder you'd use for the white vic, but IN MY OPINION, that's one of the best routes you could go
@@bstfordchannel923 5.4 cams direct fit in 4.6l and doable just by pulling valve covers. Don't say I didn't teach ya nothing!

Dope information & Vid ! I have a 99 Merc what would you say is the best after market gear ratio to go with from ford performance?
Thats Big D for that.. well it depnds on how you drive 4;10s for the spunk and 373 but if you trave stock is the way to go ( tune the car would be the best option )
Love your junkyard oem performance builds. Most durable mods are oem mods ! Will that 28 spline ranger aluminum driveshaft work on a 2000 2v gt if i just respect the yolk ?
thank you for the support on the videos Matias .. You have to check the length on what you thinking on doing. if shorter it would be better. i am sure its longer
the auto trans upgrades they have now are INSANE. handlin 400-700 torque applications ive heard
On the extra horsepower for the last CV, Weight reduction. Take out the seats, or use racing seats. Carpet and sound deadening out, plastic or fiberglass hood, dorr panels out...etc I'm not sure how livable you want it, but if you are just looking to go fast, weight reduction is the cheapest horsepower in the world.
You are correct weight reduction is cheap, but at what cost. is the car functional for the street? does still have a stock look? just think if a person made lighter Crown vic parts would people by them? Maybe maybe not people look for hp sad to say.. Power to rate ration must be balanced . 4000lb car needs 450hp and Tq to move it proper.
@AUTONOMEN x I tried to find these items. but in time someone ill do ti 1 day... a front clip would be best and the doors.. NOW if i had money THIS IS WHAT I would create..
@AUTONOMEN x now the key is to spend 3k-5 and make you engine run harder or as hard as a Ford performance engine. when i see 16,000 thats so much money to play around to say my car is fast or faster than another person ( with no goals ) if your racing thats different. Many guys are not.
@AUTONOMEN x czcams.com/video/XKWrMLfCBuE/video.html
Got a 1997 Ford Thunderbird 4.6 l with flowmaster mufflers and nascar xxr 614 wheels
On the white CV, I'd look for ways to shed weight. That car is a good 4000 pounds. I'm not saying ride with no doors, but a little chicken wire, some fiberglass matting and some plexiglas for the windows could be relatively cost effective. Drop a few hundred pounds off the car, and it'll wake up.
Proof of concept: Lotus. Colin Chapman used to pull pieces off the car until it broke, then put the last piece back.
what is odd the white vic is way lighter ( way way ) lighter hood is lighter that my 08, truck doors kinda the same.. I just need hp,, the car was made cheap.. I will make 1 vic light one day just mold hood and doors ( some how ) and fenders. Then it would be light.. I want to have at the least 3500lbs on the car if possible
Getting a scan tool soon got a new dashcam it's front and back for my 04 Mercury grand marqius
thats cool bro.. Just install it and and let me know how it works out Cj
Love the video brother. What do you think of steeda underdrive pullies in addition to the mods you mentioned in this video. Worth it?
they will do a little something for sure just do not use the Alternator pulley just use the others Bro.. These mods will differ from car to car .. depending the condition of the car.. 2 mods will get you in the game ( a Marty Tune ) (770) 222-5015 great people he will set you up right bro! thank you so much for the visit stop by anytime
@@bstfordchannel923 Hell yeah thanks for the fast reply my friend. You are THE guy when it comes to crown vic mods on youtube. Really appreciate your input on this. Mines a 2009 P71 with 3.55 trak lok, catback straight pipe, k&n drop in filter, low pro mustang wheels. I know I absolutely need to Marty Tune and i might do the steeda pullies. Maybe jmod later down the road
well simple swap get 3v 4.6. you will get more power from factory. and its minimal what ya have to change. I owned a 4.0 v6 mustang and made same power as or similar power as v2 4.6. it wasn't that seat back thrower. but when I drove my friends 4.6 v3 mustang gt 2005. it felt good!!
very true if you put this in a Vic the cams will be locked so that extra umph you felt in your boys 3 valve will be missing.. It can be done and it can make the hp back with few mods
If you have a 2005 and newer Crown Vic you can also tune with HP tuners watch a lot of people have that software and I think it only takes a couple credits
Hmm? really shoot that will do also.. i just figure I say SCT and Bama would be the next on the list, but maybe that one is cost effective.
You can get SR performance underdrive pulleys good for an honest 10hp and rather inexpensive however its not reccommended to use the alternator pulley as charging and power supply overall at idle would be very inefficient.
Im about to begin mods to an 01 Grand Marquis and heres my list of mods that will be getting done.
Convert to dual exhaust (remove rear cats and add Thrush welded mufflers.
05 P71 air box assembly with the 80mm mass air.
5.4L 70mm throttle body off E150 van.
SR performance underdrive pulleys.
3.55 gear
TFI 2800rpm stall converter
Transgo shift kit
Heavy duty trans cooler
SCT X4 Tuner (local speed shop dyno tune.)
SOLID info on this I agree on that alt they do not seem the same and wee need good volts going into our rides ( cops need all the help they can get ) great write up
I ;ove that I'm wearin off on Ya Bro... Get a 1996-2000 Explorer with a "302" Love It :)
I have been trying ... kinda gave up that ship sailed awhile ago... The yards will not Have the Explorers like that... Kinda dig the tiny motors
You went wild on that vic, looks like a fun ride. Have you taken it to the drag strip? It looks like it will run.
Thank you for the comment the car isnt drag ready. I have to get the tune and dial it in,, I will see what it can do. right now when its hot ( wide open throttle ) it aint there bro. falls flat
Did you ever get your CV to run right? Or does it still fall flat
Another great video man, for me it really aggravates me, because I guess some would call me a purist, I hate when people LS Swap a Victoria, I have seen so many things done with the 4.6 that came with these cars, it just makes me Sick🤢 I just traded my 08 in for a 2010 and that Automatic trans tune you mentioned a Gear what was you talking about???
So you hate when people actually make these cars fast with an LS swap I mean I like these cars but we all know these Ford engines are not fast I mean to be real when you can't make them fast but takes a lot more coin
You said a mouth full Neil
I am the same way to.. I battle with swap ideas a lot.. Ford only have Coyote and Gt500 swaps and you see the cost . You pay to play for sure when you dealing with a Ford Engine.. Now the Rear Gear change them to a 3.55 or 3.75 with a Traction lock.. 3.55 traction lock are in Explorers so you would be great there.. 4.11 is for racing you can get the thing off the line better ( with a traction lock )
Pull a motor from a Lincoln mark Viii. That would be cheap. Unless they know what it costs on the east coast. Cause in Utah....... No idea.
For me IF JUNKYARD HAS IT it would be 150 ( for me ) when they come in they are GONE. So I would do that if the engine was more plentiful no question.. I am still looking silently.. I was see whats the hype on the motor
@@bstfordchannel923 at my favorite yard there is usually 5 or 6 never less than 3. But includes 1 or 2 fwd continental. People here are so so LS crazy.
@@bstfordchannel923 aviator 4.6 is a long runner version of the 4v 4.6, and, a long runner intake means lower end torque. Not by alot, but in the barge that is the crown Victoria, you'll have a little surprise for the uneducated.
@@PureCountryof91 right it would be a sneaky way to support the weight of the vic to create a balance platform ( by adding TQ ) like you mentioned with some gears ect ( i will build one i have every thing but rods and piston ) need those
This is the long haul knock down drag out performance!
lmao right on
Love the videos man.
What size turbo are you using
I have no clue honestly I bought its as a sale item with other turbo stuff.. I just rolled with it... it needs a bigger turbo
@@bstfordchannel923 ok. I had heard a gt45 turbo is perfect for these but wasn't sure
@@TACOMASRT5 yes thats the one you get!
I'm thinking about getting a Crown Vic, and hooking it up.
I don't know what I want, can you tell me what I need?
I want rims, but I don't know what kind.

I want a manual, but I can't drive stick.
Can you just come to my house, and slap some sense into me?

New subscriber here.
sorry for the late response brother Josh. thank you for the sub it means alot.. You make not think so , but it does... what type of car you are rolling in Josh. tell me about it
Question, can you do a video of your paint job I see that you got it roughed up rustic looking possibly where you send it out the police emblems and such I kind of like that it makes it look dirty and mean I like your style, may I ask what you did to make it distressed like that did you just send it down to remove the emblems? Also did you cover where you sent it down to prevent the rust from popping through? Do you have a link of maybe some pictures or a video of your car walk around
Hey David , new here . I got a 98 Marquis was wondering if you got any tips on tightening the steering . Of course there land barges but there's gotta be some way .
its the old steering box nut, but make sure ( well if you love the car ) you need to change suspension parts 1st then ( tighten up steering box ) there is nut, but you have to play with it ( you have to unloosen bolt 1st ) then tighten down the inner thing .. You must check the steering abit... Thats why guys rather the 03 vics steering is better
I have a 95 Grand Marquis so far upgraded it intake and changing the exhaust intake manifold two short headers but now I'm on the decision where I should swap it for LS or coyote swap and right now I'm leaning towards the coyotes swap
Make sure you set a side a few grand to replace your transmission a couple times.
who you telling thats why i have 5 speed lol the best solution for that
BST.... For the Aero I'd look for the 96' Explorer for the 302 and swap that out into your Aero... and then speed parts are cheap!
@AUTONOMEN x I like that but the 460/C6, Not C4, swap is way too heavy for the Vick front suspension... that's why I'm looking at the 302/5.0 swap... there's tons of cheap mods to a 302 to bring it to life; one is the Cam, 302's have restrictive exhaust ports so add 8 degrees on the cam, I like a Comp Cam at 232 intake and 240 exhaust and that'l still give a good lope And vacuum for things like... Brakes :)
man oh man you have to wait on the other video bro i will explain it all
@AUTONOMEN x Then take a hard look at the FMX, I had a 400hp 351 Windsor Street Boss and the FMX worked great... Cast iron case And you can use a big block bell housing... Then I swapped it out for a 4 speed :) in a 71' Galaxie500! Like the Crown Vicks, not quick but freaking fast on the hi-ways!
@@bstfordchannel923 BST Bro... I'll be a waiting 😎
This was a great video man! I like that you are starting to give us an update of most of the cars in each video instead of keeping us in the dark!😂
Man I was shocked when you mentioned me at the end there! I appreciate that you care what I think. Frankly, we keep talking about old school carburated Fords, I think it might be time to pull the trigger on that. I think it would be cool for you to have the fuel injected and turbocharged 4.6 crown vic and then also have a carburated small block Ford crown vic! Then do a side by side comparison of the pros and cons with each. That would really separate you from the rest of the Panther guys on CZcams! It is really the only option if you want to make good power, have fun, and be different. Everyone else is already doing the coyote swaps, 5.4 swaps, terminator swaps, and LS swaps. Let your old school self blossom BST!😎👍🏻
I say that would separate you, realistically you have a very different and very likable show that is night and day different from everyone else's. You should be proud of that! What I meant is that it would just add to the flavor of the channel! Make it even more glorious!
Also, I love that you always specify and emphasize affordability. Most of us are family guys and that is why we relate to you and your channel. Keep it that way brother!
No problem bro you thoughts matter to be always. Now you are correct on the carb thing. I declined the 5.4 cause it was semi useless and so man have done it.. Coyote is still on the table but i would like the automatic ( to be different ) the old school stuff is the way to go i think to show that the cars will be a delight to drive.. 1st i want a efi set-up 302
I got what you are saying.. I have to one -up the channel somehow and push forward the channel on the vic and do something different with in the budget quickly.. Somebody has a 302 carb in a vic and lincoln , but people are not watching and he isnt up loading like he should ( video wise )
RIGHT! thats why I flip ideas a lot,cause when a bill comes in. I have to change what I am doing.. Or I look down the road and see THE BIGGER PICTURE then certain engines will ( just not take me there cheap )
what kind of intake is that? thats cool looks like a supper charger
Bro, looking for an 04' Grand Marques so I can start working on my P71; I want a 5 speed and the tune :) Also Bro I have a 302/5.0 intake And 4 barrel carb sitting in the barn just looking for a home in your Aero Vick!
I second this Bst check him out!
just sw this
hey man, i’ve been working on the 5 speed swap on my 05 vic and i’m having trouble getting those side transmission bolts on each side that are up near the cats. got the very tops ones out but can’t get those side ones that are basically one step below them on each side. do you usually remove the cats to get them out? any tips to remove cats without messing up studs if so? any help is greatly appreciated
Never removed the tranny but with the studs, soak them REALLY WELL in penetrating oil like pb blaster or WD40 and then slightly tighten each bolt first before you try to break them loose. This trick works excellent on anything rusty. Go back and forth between tightening and loosening the bolts if you hit a spot where it doesn't want to turn and you think you might break it. I use this trick a lot at work. I remanufactured rusty old CAT generators and this has helped me immensely since I figured this out.
put the top ones back in and soak the bold like Harrison said.. jack the trasn up also to take some pressure ( if any ) on the bolts .. take your time do not snap nothing.. Normally we take of 1 cat and your good. some guys take off non.. i take them both out ( cause i was doing something different
Heat up the bolts with a hand torch. Harbor freight has them cheep. Don't break the bolt off, take your time. Drilling out bolts sux more than any job I promise!
Your absolutely spot on, i agree with the coil statement, i only run motorcraft.
It is the best but I wanted to try these out ( they where used ) and good buy. They are working just see what is all the hype is about..
@@bstfordchannel923 right on!
Yes
right on!
If you have a civilian crown vic should you just upgrade to the p71 air intake? What about Throttle body upgrade or pulleys?
if you have that cv you have a more solid car ( it was not beat on like p71 or 72 ) leave the air box for now. You can do the Pulleys IF they where used or on sale. They cost 250 for a good set. Throttle body and plenum cost about 500 new. Its best to get a sct scanner to check your car out THEN get you a tune for your car THEN you will feel the difference. maybe get some 3.55 gears and a K&N air filter is all you need. Simple. you can do throttle body nothing crazy though,
Hi, big fan.....are you in Atlanta? I just had work done at Mo’s on my 2003 Crown Vic LX....
$550 Tune with computer.....
I am in nj Ken.. I want to move around a bit to get down there to see what he has going on.. How does your car run with the Tune Ken?
Fantastic.....he talked me in to headers and 373 rear end with an aluminum drive shaft, there not cheap..
Ken Pomer what did the tune do exactly? i live in atl too and i just bought a crown vic lx sport
Do you have a list of those items?
I want to keep mine automatic.
Marti tune, upgrade the rear end?
Im not a DIY.
I need to take it to a shop.
What about lookin for a used centri setup for the the white Vic ? I’m doin the used pd blower setup and it’s not cheap
Thats the isse it aint cheap.. I really wish had a dyno spot.. I whould see what i have vs what have with a few mods. To show people things can be done. with little funds...
Ok i was able to finally find all motorcraft replacement parts for my front and rear suspension except the loaded strut. I had a mechanic check my springs, and they said they are good, so i just went ahead and bought two motorcraft struts. What other harware do i need to buy for the strut since it wasn't a loaded one. Like i sai, my springs are still goo, so i dont need those? I wanted to try to go full motorcraf, and i already bought the struts.
Headers, gears, tune and j-mod. All a Crown Vic needs to have some fun. You won’t be breaking records but it will definitely make the car more enjoyable
Very true headers $900 -up ,Gears $450 DIY or 700-up shop, Jmod $70 and time, Tune Auto $150 and 5 speed $250.. You are correct bro thats all a vic needs I would skip 2 mods for the average person that would be headers and jmod car would be just as good
@@bstfordchannel923 not to mention some suspension components, currently running the rear sway bar looking to get the front sway bar and rear upper and lower control arms next
Gears are not cheap cheap most shops want 500+ without parts and a tune is need to correct your miles per hour that's 300+
To me a good tune up will bring back lost power and throttle response for most guys
E85 fuel or 93 Oct is by far the cheapest option
gears NEW aint cheap ( I bought a Explorer rear for $150 with 3.55 and with traction loc . New clutches cost $70. Or bought a section from a Ranger 4.11 gears and traction lock $80. So you can wiggle around that a bit.. If you have scanner you can calibrate the speedo.. Or you get the tune like you said to dial things in.. Tune up is sweet, but many want more ponies vs a car running good with zero gains. The vics aint cheap to make them move, but if you put the money in the right places you can do something.. Some guys buy headers and cams thats over 2k.. its really up to the person how they want to do this..
This guy is the best 😂
thank you saying this bro, but you and I are the same... We love our cars and we must share a little info to assist .
Bro that shit look so fun!! I just bought i 2011 LX! Low low miles I wanna do the 5 speed what do you recommend I do first?
whats up Don , well bro get the trans 1st 3650 trans then work your way to flywheel , then clutch parts... Once you get that then you have to get the clutch pedals
@@bstfordchannel923 so do 2011 lx also last 300,000 miles??
@@famtovar5385 of course they will go that far no doubt about that
I like that shit bro. Thats a real mechanic talkin to ya there. Not some trust fund kid spendin daddys money on a motor swap.
You got the money you can buy however much power you want to buy.
But to learn how to MAKE that power instead of just buyin it, thats how you become a man haha
Hell yeah man im for sure gonna keep an eye on your channel
I thank you for this bro.. I try to make it happen with parts thats around... I change ideas due to what is around ( and what is not ) If i go to junkyard and they have 4.6 dohc for cheap i will be forced to take that route. Like you mention if you have money you cab build anything with power. Now take 4k and build something fast that cost the Trust fund babies 20k thats the allure for me. You get the vibes Brian
BST I want you to check out my paint progress video. I'm painting the car in sections, outside, and with spray cans. So far the hood is the hardest to get right everything else no problem. The Front bumper is spectacular. It's not green but it is a small 2 door Ford, you might be interested in this off the shelf paint. Wish there was a picture section for CZcams, my phone camera sucks at video.
I just watched it it looks GREAT DUDE wow
@@bstfordchannel923 I keep going outside to look at it. Today there was some rain on it. Each bead of water had purples at the bottom it was picking up from the paint. Darker light more blues and even some purple, bright light teal blue, sunset I expect some teal green. I figured you'd like it. Bahama Blue Metallic, it's a GM color at the parts store. SSSSSHHHHH ;-) I've never seen a GM car painted this color. Oh, and it absolutely needs white primer or it will not pop. It won't have that neon almost harlequin glow.
I haven’t heard much about this, but for the whine that comes from the torque converter at high rpms, is there a mod that could make that louder? Thanks bro!
lmao when the trans goes a little biut futrher out of being destroyed lmao
