1990 Crown Vic LX can probably find one of these for like a grand easily.
Yank the stock 302 drop an EFI 351 Windsor in the sucker that's been stroked out to 419 cubes toss in a forged crank,connecting rods,forged dished low compression pistons.
Trickflow heads with a nice port and polish. Trickflow intake.
Yank the stock rear end bolt up an 8.8 inch rear with 31 spline Moser axles.
3:55 gears. Performance C6 tranny 2500 RPM stall convertor. Then turbo the sucker put down like 650 horsepower on daily driven boost. Redo the interior with new carpet, new head liner. New trim pieces. Toss in some new speakers a modern head unit. Lower it a bit get some old school steelies and some big tires paint the whole shooting match flat black.
Nobody would expect that old black Crown Vic that is bumping music so loudly would have enough power under the hood to burn all but the top contenders. That is until the tunes got turned down the cut outs got opened up and rattled their windows something horrible that is.
The more I think about the idea the more I want to try it. That would be SO much fun. You don't see too many people hooking up old late 80s early 90s Vics. I see people doing that same combo to Mustangs, Cougars,Thunderbirds hell even old trucks. But nobody every suspects that old Crown Vic.
