We start working on a project with the novice racer in mind. We take a 2008 Ford Crown Vic Police Cruiser and turn it into a budget-friendly Spec Panther racing machine! We'll upgrade our transmission for better shifting and give the old power plant a tune-up. We continue work with a rear end swap, suspension mods, and upgraded stopping power. Then, we finish by adding a racing-look paint scheme and new wheels and tires before we hit the track to see how well it performs!

3L27 on the gear tag is 3.27 ratio with a limited slip. No lockers. Clutch style limited slip. They can be rebuilt and stack the clutches different so they actually operate too. Town Car is also a Panther. Stop with the "locked rear end." As an informative automotive show, make sure you use correct terminology. You eventually said it was a Ford Traction-Loc, which is a limited slip, not a locker. That stuck lower shock bolt was most likely froze in the sleeve inside the lower bushing. Trying to spin the bolt to break it free is more effective because the bushing absorbs the hammer blows. If it does get to cutting, cut off wheel (death wheel) inside the mounting tabs to the shock side. Don't hang the calipers from the brake hoses. Come on guys, people watch this stuff and learn all kinds of wrong things... What are the wheel and tire specs? Size and backspace... Basics No mention of check what's on the other side before drilling holes?

@danielwilson6665 Год назад

I’m retired from a 30 year career as a civilian employee with the Atlanta Police Department. I got to drive a wide variety of “Police Interceptor” vehicles over the years. From Ford LTD 2’s equipped with the “pushrod” 400 cubic inch V-8 from the 335 series of engines to the Crown Victoria powered by the 4.6 SOHC V-8’s. The Vicky was a solid all around performer with Cop suspension that handled quite well for such a heavy vehicle, bigger brakes and the 4.6 liter overhead cam engine that came on strong at higher rpm’s. With the usual engine performance modifications and steeper differential gears, it should really haul ass and be a great sleeper for street or track duty.

Proud Mercury Grand Marquis owner. These are fantastic affordable machines that are a great foundation to build a high performance toy out of. As long as you understand going into it that the 2 valve 4.6 is very underpowered and very limited when it comes to affordable horsepower. But if you have money, this is a terrific handling machine.

@highrzr Год назад

Replacing the rear control arms and watts link would have been a better move on the rear suspension than putting softer springs in. If going for a softer spring rate and\or lowering, going with the civilian springs, front and rear, would have been an easier way to get the reduced ride height as the P71's ride height is about an inch higher than the civilian model. Normally, softer springs are not the way to go if you're going for handling improvements.

Interesting build so far, but I have to say not only is that most definitely not a "locking" rear differential. Crown vics and most cars ever made were never available with locking differentials. This is a limited slip, very different but still functional.

The Panther platform is a great platform to maintain but not build. There is a very small aftermarket for the car in terms of performance and information on those parts is a bit limited. It's possible but its very expensive especially considering the results.

@Tomas-mu1kb Год назад

Finding built internals isn't hard because mustangs used these engines. Finding solid suspension upgrades isn't terribly hard nor extremely expensive. Swapping it with a manual isn't unheard of. There's not a lot of aftermarket support specifically for these cars but there is some, and when you run into finding more unique mods you can take inspiration from mustangs for the most part.

@bluethunder.351 3 месяца назад

Kinda, sorta, but not really. Linear springs like in the 'Vic the spring rate is the same, but instead of having 10 coils spreading the load, you'd have 9. It will take less weight to compress the 10 coils 1" because you have more material to work with. There are diminishing returns on that math. It's funky math, but math...
