My CrownVic - Ford Motor Forums

Thejsx · #1 (**permalink**) 10-22-2007, 11:45 AM

As I was on FR... well not quite as I was kinda bant... anyways as it is a Ford forum why not give it a try...!
So here it is, my 1997 CrownVic LX HPP...
I've got some mods so far nothing spectacular though.. but still a fun car to drive!

my major mods right now:
PI intake Manifold
Big brake upgrade from a 03 CrownVic P71
Computer swap from a 97 P71 (until I XCal it...! )

and some little stuff like msd ignitions, colder plugs, 180* thermostat... and some other minor stuff that doesn't matter that much!

at the track with some buddies

and ''my'' money maker

Welcome here! Love the Vic! Before I got my Mark VII I was looking at Crown Vics too. They can be an awesome car.....cool pics!

Really nice pictures there. Welcome. I love Crown Vics. Nice power and such a comfortable ride.

thanks guys...

I'm still awaiting for getting my trac-lok installed... this could be more interesting this winter...! other than maintenance i'm done with it until next summer... depending on how my budget will be (since I'm supposed to build my house...)
I should do some stuff to it, like rebuilding the whole front end, bilstein suspension, maybe swap the rear-air suspension to springs, getting new wheels because i'm sick of these explorer wheels on the back! I'm looking at maybe some black cragar soft 8 probably still on 16'' with 255/55 or maybe some 17''.
Otherwise I have a powerhouse idea for it... but I think I'm going to wait for my garage to be built first...! I'm looking at either a PI 4.6 SOHC from a 04 crown vic or maybe a 4.6 DOHC from a marauder or something like this and build them a little bit...!

Is it really a HPP. I'm not much up on Vics. Looks good though.

Yes it is, one of the few over here in Canada, It came with dual exhaust, 16'' HPP wheels (that are now dead), rear air suspension 21mm sway bar in the back and 1'' 1/4 in the front.
