back at you guys with some of the cheapest bang for your buck when it comes to modding your crown victoria! these mods wont break your wallet and will bring your overall horsepower gains UP!
the j-mod is awesome. i did that to a 98 mustang gt auto several years ago. easy to do and really noticable effects. i did that with a 3.73 gear and it would bark second and kick the rear end out some . made it actually fun to drive.
I agree with all of these suggestions, except for lowering the Crown Vic. I like Crown Vics because they are almost like SUV's in that they can go over a curb no problem and can handle off roading fairly well for a CAR. A higher vehicle also means its going to get less rust and wear and tear on the bottom of it in comparison to a low riding vehicle. A low riding vehicle is also a pain when going over speed bumps....even at a slow speed.
Height of a vehicle holds absolutely no bearing on how a vehicle rusts..a lifted truck will rust just as fast as a lowered car if neither are cared for..it sounds like you want a worry free opportunity to beat your car up and that does not exist
Before I did the 5 speed, I did jmod and it was an amazing difference! Actually gave me better throttle response on top of firmer shifts. Also to be more cost-effective If you are not using the altinator pulley then go with 3V 4.6 Summit U/D kit. SUM-C2512 $143.97. The Summit Racing underdrive pulleys are great quality and, I've had them on my car for 4 years and never had any issues! 😉 Great video!!
Did you do the 5-speed yourself or did you find someone to do it? How did you do your pedal assembly? I'm not qualified to do either.. if I ever get a P71 and put manual, I'll likely have to hire that out
Some crownvics were actually taller from factory depending on department and area of vehicles destination. Some areas require more ground clearance. And when police go over curbs they don’t wanna bust off their oil pan haha
Had a New Mexico detective & a CHP Crown Vic the New Mexico was taller but the CHP was pretty low. Definitely can see why the CHP was low for high speed chases. Would suggest building a aluminum flat floor if you go lower
It needs to be noted that 05' and up owners have no need for the Jmod. The internal upgrades Ford made are already in place. When my 4R75W was rebuilt and upgraded, it was simply re-tuned on the dyno. And with an SCT tuner you can still make trans adjustments.
I would love to see a part 3! I would suggest front and rear sway bars and the billet upper and lower rear control arms. as well as for the civilian models the p71 one piece drive shaft and required spacer from adtr
I was into vics but got out and jumped into Jeep wj with the 4.7l ho.man now they move I spent not even 300 and I'm in the 14s In a quarter.but not hating on vics all I'm saying is just keep them stock who knows when the manifold will crack or the suspension will bust apart.
I have a 2003 P71 POLICE INTERCEPTOR WITH 173,000 MILES ON IT RUNS LIKE A CHAMP 4.6 ENGINE I LOVE IT PROBATION OFFICER DROVE FROM LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT I HOOKED THE STROBES BACK UP ON THE PARK AND TAIL LIGHTS . RIDES GOOD . INTERIOR IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE TO . I HAD A 89 CROWN VICTORIA THAT RAN SUPER GOOD TO
Nice car man. I like that Cobra R side exhaust you did. Yo, I watched that vid of the heat extractor you put in. Very big improvement over that ugly piece of sheetmetal you yanked off a water fountain and riveted to your hood. For real it looks way cool now. Clean.
You lost all your credibility when you suggested steel braided hoses. There is zero performance increase by changing the material the hose is constructed of.
No he is the creator of this video and who are you to measure wtf ALL credibility is. And he is a tard for the stainless COVERS. The real hoses$$$$ so Mushimoto Silicon hoses provide peace of mind. Random! Underdrive pulleys!! It's not a weight thing it's a diameter thing. Randomly stupid as it seems.
FordPoweredEveryday I am an antivaxxer doctor and more importantly, your mother and I raised you to show a little more respect. Get off youtube and go mow the lawn!
FordPoweredEveryday No troll here babygirl. Just calling you out. Can’t deal with having your pomposity challenged? Can’t go toe to toe with a doctor on something you seem to be confident in your knowledge of?
I had 3 crown Vic’s but I want another one but with the luxury not the plain cop look. Definitely would like the LX Sport n then modify the motor n make it look like a Marauder!! I can’t do these newer American cars anymore they are shit n parts don’t last!!! Thx do the video
I have a 03 and an 05 CVPI bone stock, The 05 is about an inch or two higher and does not have the traction lock differential. I wonder if the CVPI is normally lower than the civi version. In other words maybe the lack of the traction loc diff gets a different suspension height? I was very disappointed when I saw only one tire spin on the 05 thought the diff was messed up. After researching the Axle codes a bit I discovered it came with a standard 8.8 differential. It's a project car so I'll have to hit the junkyard or search to see if it can be upgraded. Thanks for the information and video.
I have almost a quarter million miles on my vic and I am so tempted to modify it. The mechanics will think I am nuts! Kooks headers. Flowmaster Super 10. 91 Octane tune. K&N intake. Loads of crap...
NO, those smaller pulleys will NOT "give your engine horsepower" -- but what they WILL do is reduce rotating weight and reduce pumping losses, which allows more of the engine's power to reach the rear wheels.
This is not 100% correct..you only have a piece of the puzzle here..most aftermarket pulleys are lighter than factory pulleys this freeing up rotational weight allowing the crank to spin faster with less drag thus freeing more usable power
I can agree with the power improvement is not as significant in a heavy car but in the search for net power all the little stuff helps out so I’ll take it lol..
None of these mods by themselves is going to make a difference. But the right combination of several mods. Such as a MZT and 2.5 exhaust along with the underdrive pulleys will give you a noticeable gain.
🤓 Question, no one has mention it, is their a MOD to remove the rear seats and chassis so u can convert it into a station wagon? Trunk and Rear Seat area make it flat? And what about for the snow since no 4wd, is it enuf to switch to snow tires in the winter or do we need to carry tire chains or attach a huge front tow hook and a long truckers tow chain? 😍
One of the best mods is a lift kit and some massive rims or if your gonna go threw the trouble of lowering it use air bags so you can set height and bee cool... Haha
I love my CVPI it's the best car I've owned the only thing I'm having a problem with is I can't find lowering springs for it anywhere and don't know if they actually make them or not I think I'm just going to have to bag it even though I don't want to... If anyone knows where I can get lowering springs for it please let me know
Moose Chocolate I actually own 3 CVPI. I have a 99 all stock. A 03 I lifted did a 4x4 swap on it with a nice set of 18x9 Havok Off-road H-109 wheels that I use for mudding and I have my o7 with a 6-speed coyote swap in it which of course is the one I want to lower that's the last thing I need to do to it before I get it off to paint.
Okay guys everybody loves Crown vics and watch this video or lowering the Crown Vic will somebody please let me know where to get the lowering springs because jegs and summit and eBay has nothing listed so what springs are we using
Just all too pricey to do just for a vic.just get a 200 shot and call it a day best bang for your buck.just watch out on your first hit your engine will make a bang.💣🤑
NO !. I’m. Not take it easy Boy ! The only real great performance mod I ser here is the “J Mod” the rest are a simply crap 💩 and a waste and ruin the Panther car
