well i know the tranny problems... jus had mine rebuilt and shift kit put in (still not right)and the intake manifold cracking problems... other than that what do i need to look out for???are there any aftermarket I.M's that i should be looking at?and besides steeda pulley's and PI heads maurauder intake and MAF what else is there?I cant really find anything for this... ive had custom ideas but dont really have time for R&D on them (daily driven)... I want to do something...

best thing for a start is to change the rearend gears. i have a post about this and describes the differences and how to identify what you have.

i forgot that... i think im gonna go with 3.55 nothing too high cause these cars love top end... ive been looking around and gears and differentials... not really digging the "one wheel wonder" thing i have goin on

did you see what i have under my cars i have in the signature? my 1987 2 door Crown Vic i am building up is gonna be built for the dragstrip and will have 3.73s under it when it gets done.

thats cool... yeah if i was goin for the 1320 id go with like 4.11's but i wanna still be able to cruise cause after all these are luxury cars right?

well, we have one 2 door Crown Vic with 2.73 trac-lok under it so it will be a hwy car along with the 1989 Crown Vic we got. my project 2 door is gonna be a beast and be probably the fastest Crown Vic in my area besides being rare. these cars are luxury rides, but it is fun to let people think they are slow and then blow their doors off. i like the older Panthers personally since they have the 5.0.i like the 1986 and 1987 models the best. i find them cheap and fix them up and have fun with impressing people with the capabilities.

yeah i dont think ive seen a 2 door VIC??? thats awesome... and its gonna be a beast? yes sir...all my friends keep tellin me "put 24"s on it man" id rather it look normal but haul...

nthe bigger wheels hurt the suspension on these cars. i have seen a car that had the igger wheels and suspension was chewed up and rearend got chewed up also. it needed all new parts. best to just change wheels to a stadard type size or go with a mustnag wheel that would look good. i belong to other sites about these cars and have seen nice cars be made.
