I'll be honest here. I'm a chevy man thru and thru, bowtie gang. HOWEVER, this channel is so damn incredible I straight up went and bought a 1997 p71. And holy shit this thing is a riot to drive. Sketchy on corners at high speeds though. Bitch long and heavy but it's cool in a DONK/highway cruiser way. I love it. Thinking about some motor mods and a few rear end handling mods
that so cool to here Nick lmao,, The cars are not fast its the Boatness about them and its rear wheel drive.. They are comfy dude they just need a little power... Wait to add 5 speed man its so funny to drive my Aer crown Vic i laugh so much i like it more ( in 5 speed form ) than the whale.. There is few Chevys i will get so do not think i will not get one ( the right ones ) We are all car dude bro.. and respect and honor this comment 100% Nick!
I refuse to remove my bowtie. After 2 Caprices, a S10 Blazer, and an Impala I purchased a Mercury Marquis. 74k on it now and ready to make mods. Performance and esthetic. This channel has dope content. First time viewer and subscriber.
@@ronharris3411 Thank you Ron for the sub and the comment.. The issue is the 4.6 2v is like is ( high mileage ) go the distance type of engine.. makes its power up top. It has no bottom to the engine. It take boost VERY WELL and bolt-ons performance is tough .. Things just cost so much for the results that you get. Rear gears is needed and a Tune from ( Mos Speed Shop ) and it will wake up the car ( great start )
as you should brother.. i just make suggestions this is not law by no means..Its all about how you drive and whats in your wallet.. You did great with those mods
Ur 100% right. On my '03 Interceptor back in '07 I put 3.73's wit an Auburn posi & I can't wait till I have da money to put em on my '02 Crown Victoria LX Sport.
thank you for that... Just dealing with real deal results.. hard to make these cars fast ( on a Budget ) but you can make them better to drive ( or fun to drive ) the Tune and the rear gears will make itr happen ( get the gears 1st then the tune to match the gearing ) and it will be a new car.. Just have to select the right gearing for your needs
I gotta admit I'm mid 20s but I'm an old man at heart lmao. I want a grand marq, but I keep looking at performance mods that totally cancels out the comfort factor lmao.. can't make up my mind ever. 😂 great video.
for us with these cars Corkoth its tough. e start with a 4.6 which have very little hp but VERY reliable . WE have 205 to 210 hp on a used motor with 4k chassis in weight. to make reliable hp it cost to make cheap hp well its unreliable. Like you mentioned you have to give and tack and your not will to take away the comforts of the car..
good point bro. maybe the gears and the jmod will give it the juice it needs without taking away too much comfort (exhaust noise). I know it doesn't make sense but I'm not looking to go balls to the wall, just a good fun daily to keep the miles off my newer ride. thanks man you help. great vids.
@@Corkoth55 j mod up the rear gears to 375 and 150 tune and the car will be night and day or skip j mod and go with gears and tune and you will have something. Thank you for commenting bro
Solid advice! I never, ever (really) thought about pulling a rear gear from a different vehicle in a junk yard... that is a brilliant cost saver!! And that screen shot of the Ford gears - what magnificent artwork... seems like I have seen it before :)
if your vic has 28 splice get guts from a 4 banger ranger with the 8.8 now if you have the 31 splice get that from the v8 ford explorer ( 302 ). thank you the support Handy Dad!
headers i would do If the cost was lower and IF i had replace the studs... I am SURE you car is not rusty like the NJ cars.. I rather a turbo on my end and TURBOS are a headache PB-Wonka
Love the video. Thumbs up, but have to provide another point of view. Modern engines are all about the tune. There is more power there than anywhere else. So I would propose this alternative path to better acceleration... 1) Marty Tune on SCT from Mos' Speed shop. Tell him you are going to run a CIA, cat back exhaust and change your rear gearing. 2) Cold Air intake. Be sure it is true cold air. (outside of underhood or at least where the intake filter is shielded from under hood radiant heat and has a path to draw air from outside) Remember air is 14X more important than fuel and each 7 degree increase in intake temp reduces output by 1 hp. 3) Do the exhaust exactly as you say or spend the bucks for the Borla or Magniflow panther kits. Get rid of the 2nd set of cats and be sure to have an h or x pipe. 4) Change the rear gears and while you are in there add some type of limited slip diff so you do not have a one tire fire. Bonus Mod - Underdrive pulleys. These are low cost and raise the entire TQ/HP curve. No tune required for this one.
1005 correct on tune. yeah that the part that is always left out.. people want to hear what THEY can do... The tuner does the other thing.. Thats why thereis disconnect of hotrodding cause of it. sad deal but you can even rev your motor underneath your hood
Very well done you definitely know what you’re talking about so thank you very much for the straight up information you don’t hear that very often on the Internet
I try to be honest as possible.. I weigh the pros and cons ( some times i rant ) but when it comes to performance and money being spent.. I like to be as on point as possible Daryle. People over spend and THINK they going to HP in something that was designed flawed for high hp. There are small thing ( combined ) can make it feel like it has more hp. o give that enjoyment desired is a huge a$$ car.. 4000-lbs car needs a the least 400hp and 400 tq to match to have the car to move and be enjoyed..
Finally, a video foe panther cars that show what you need to know. Great. Like and subscribed. (Towncar driver) Headers and K+N are tempting me no more. 3.5!!!!
Thank you for this! ... I am pausing on the video just a bit got new position but I will back at it... Just need to learn a bit ( can not force feed videos ) I may revamp old video and make cleaner ( visuals )
8.8" rear end for dummies: The door code will tell you what gears are in that car (unless someone changed). DO THIS BEFORE YOU GET UNDER THE CAR/TRUCK. Once you think it is what are looking for verify with tag on rear end. Thanks for your advice. :-)
Love the video. Can tell you actually know what your talking about lol I'm planning on getting an 03 maybe a year or 2 newer or older is there anything in specific I should look out for like rust spots on the frame bc I'm in Michigan and the rust is fuckin everywhere
oooooh yes Michiagan is worst than NJ for the rust for sure... I thank you for checking the video ect bro... I would say start with a 04 and up Vic or panther its the better choice as far as what you can do with the car...
I just got a vic and I rlly want to get some better HP out of it. Just did dual cherry bombs for better flow. I know about throttle bodies but wanted to know if there was anything other than something crazy like heads and cam. I can't do gears bc I do a lot of highway driving.
There is noting its a 4.6 Eco engine ( in theory ) it has 2v sohc set up and there is too many limits and direction you go NA... thats why i made the videos to show it aint much you can do to them ( simple bolt ons )
@@Bl00obs lets say car is 230hp to the wheels that may get you 258-ish ... Maybe 260-ish and thats opushing it. some may debate this and jump on me..,. I seen a guy put full bolt ons on his 4.6 2v and just got 300hp after 7k plus
I say suspension first. My bushings, upper, lower ball joints literally everything is shot on my mgm. I would definitely do suspension first then exhaust and gearing etc. Oh and brakes definitely do pads rotors calipers for sure also.
Thats how we are all bro... we are all program to spend on parts for our cars.. If we take the (diy route) then we are cheap and poor... Which hot rodding was poor mans sport ( or the thing to do ) now its some follow jegs and every car show to spend and buy the crazy stuff.. which is wild
Quick question, 2008 CVPI’s have acceleration times of around 6.6 seconds 0 to 60 and 2011 CVPI’s have acceleration times around 7.5 seconds 0 to 60, due to a less aggressive tune from the factory with the 2011’s. So that being said, if I tuned a 2008 and it gets a 6 second 0-60 from the tune, would that mean that my 2011 would be at 6 flat as well or would the 2011 be slower even if tuned because of the original tune being sloppy? Thank you!!
@@bstfordchannel923 Interesting, so just to clarify, no matter how the factory tune previously was, if you performance tune a car, it will bring it to the max performance that a tune could bring, correct?
@@mod3rnwarrior34 well each engine performs different lest say your car made 250hp and 275 and my car makes the same each car will react different it will be in the same ballpark give or take 2hp or 5hp... What you are saying is correct if your car perfoms well already but we speaking about a 2v engine nobody built a 2v NA with 400hp ( cheap ) if i had a dyno i would play around with some numbers... I have to get one pronto
@@mod3rnwarrior34 also you must factory a REAL TUNE ( dyno ) vs a a Flash Tune... The real dyno tune is best suited to THAT engine vs a mail order cookie cutter tune..
Thank you for that.. I just want to let people know what they are up against if they take certain routes in performance.. Sometimes stock is best ( or buying a second car is best ) to toy with..
The rear are the same ( look at your rear on your car ) and see if there is a sensor going into the diff.. if you do you need one from a Lincoln Town car or traction control version like your car and crown vic... The Police Vics do not have traction control
spend the 1200 bones and make it a manual trans. best thing you can do for a crown vic. they have kits now that are very easy to install. all you have to do is find 1 of 3 trans that will work in your car.
Very true I have 04 5 speed and 96 5 speed the hardest part is the clutch pedals.. I do not like cable so i went 240sx clutch pedal set up down to the clutch slave
can I put the 32 valve heads on my 97 grand marquis? what other mods would I need to make. I have the 3.27 rear end and don't want to give up the mileage.
best to get a dohc engine the whole joint and slap it it,, need custom spark plug wires,,, it would simple just to get the engine , do not puzzle it together
@@bstfordchannel923 True,they see the 12hp gain and they just go ahead and stick it in. Then lights start flashing,etc.etc...I tried to post a pic. of a proper cold air intake but just can`t get it right...Merry Christmas to you and have a safe New Year...
You can put a exploder rear end and a ranger in a vic? Like a 2000 cvpi I already have exhaust and shift kit. I wrecked it awhile back and had to swap the entire axle with a grand marquis axle that has a 2:73 from my police 3:55 I want a bigger gear like a 4:10?
Nope just the ( just the gears ) cause those all are 8.8... The rears differ ( axle lengths ) cause of land some are staggered ... 3.55 are good 3.73 are better to move mass ( panther body ) 4.10 are to race or burn rubber cause you know this cars ( you can punch nit ) and you get no sound from the tires in many cases
4.10 gears are the cheapest way to gain performance. To get power from a 4.6 2v. The same rules apply to a Chevy Ls as does a 4.6 2v. I do admit there are not many manufacturers for long tube headers for the 4.6 2v.
that is very true i can not even debate this Marzosirus .. they isnt much of anything with a good price for a 4.6 .. It just cost a lot with little results
Hey Wingnut, Quick question; Do you know how to deactivate the horn chirp when locking the car with the remote key fob? There's a procedure on page 76 in my owners manual for my 2004 Crown Vic, but my 2010 Grand Marquis fails to mention a procedure. I tried the procedure for the 2004, on the 2010 and it goes into programming mode because I get the lock/unlock confirmation. But I still can't deactivate the horn chirp, when locking the car with the remote key fob. I usually like the audible confirmation when locking up the car, but not when I come home at 3AM trying to be quiet. lol Worse case scenario, maybe I'll install take the WJ Handy Dad route, and install a bypass switch on the ground wire of the horn. Chuck
Electrical man I kn ow very very little on this.. Most of my cars was not fancy enough to have that... the Lincoln had that it worked strange enough... I will check it though and see what i can find
Reign Bird Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what you mean. But, yeah everything works properly on my Panthers. I was just wondering how to disable the horn chirp when locking the car up with the remote key fob. Chuck
@@PanzerPlatform ok Chuck If you have a real police car well they did not come with that option... that would be a a after market install ( if it police package Crown vic )...The chirp will be the alarm Horn ( sometimes its combo of horn and chirp)

What do you think about a 93 tune as #5? Any advice on cat delete? I saw an earlier video of yours about cams, stainless steel exhaust & the header issues, I'm gonna stay away from all that & do these instead. 👍👍👍👍 I've had my cvpi for a few months & really want to take it up a notch but not go crazy. It's my daily driver. 2010 98k, now 102k after a NYC to FL road trip. Keep up the vids.
ok Bx Burban if you are taking trips like that keep the gearing the same for a bit ( to enjoy the stockness ) of the car..Just do the catback ( do not toy with the engine ) no tune no intake stuff.. Just do that catback ( to get a growl ) to the car.. you have to sit with the gears ( but stay stock if taking long trips ) ... Thank you for the support i do not want to steer you wrong bro.. Sometimes stock is the best.. when you mention long trips STOCK with catbacks will be cool nothing loud though
I hve few videos on that here is a video where i swapped in a v8 ford explorer efi engine in, with v6 mustang t5 and a chopped explorer 8.8 rear and so many other junkyard goodies ruclips.net/video/0JweZqQb0oU/видео.html
dpending hat you want and then what you want to spend.. 1st what is your aim on the susupension upgrade... What are you looking for in the look or you ant the car to be more stable
This just hurt me bad! I have an 0'5 with 73k all black with tinted windows rear cat delete with flowmasters and chrome tips out the sides of rear not straight back. And i wanted to CAM and Headers next but not so sure anymore after watching this. And i do have a X4 SCT Tuner
Here how what you can do IF you are game for it,,, Do not do headers, you can do cam,intake plenum and throttle body THEN GET A TUNE 1 SHOT after installing all of that..Note it is still a 2v sohc basically stock..
my '11 feels like its suffocating sometimes and the AC blower airflow becomes weak with a whistle sound when I'm pushing to 70 miles. Its my daily and has experienced negligence should I get into this or just RTF the thing?
Ac clutch may be going ( maybe ) the Ac stuff i know very little about.. Did you do a simple tune up and change filters (air and fuel )? Those cars should be snappy -er.. these cars .. Tell me a Little about the car
PREACH!! Right.un. Right un right un Right Un!!. The cat back exhaust? He's right, that IS instant ponies. It'll separate you from a few Hundo To get done right. And yes, this is something you want done right.
Most guys dont have the funds . So we can have some fun to ( we just have to put the money in the RIGHT place ) many other engine have power right out the box .. We have to think gearing, exhaust, gas, intake temp and tuning to help our cars.. our cars are heavy like a truck almost

Supposedly Gale Banks is working on a good street air filter set-up for Panthers. Nothing material yet, but his personal driver is a Panther. But if it's Banks, bet the farm its all about COLD AIR.
What about a j-mod that doesn't shift so hard? I had my mustang trans rebuilt with a street strip shift kit and don't want my Town Car shifting like that.
nah no Towncar should be shifting hard ( i agree ) I may make a race type town car 1 day.. Right now doing research on what i can get and hp gains ect.. Towncars should be butter soft when they shift and smooth
Use a torch on manifold studs, get glowing red and they come right out. I live in Detroit the first tool any mechanic needs in salt country is a torch lol.
yes it does its like what you mention GIVE and TAKE. if I build car with 410 no hwy driving for me or daily its for 3 things autocross,drifting,and racing
I got 410 gears in my 99 madza b4000 troy lee from factory. It's got a 4.0 v6 ohv making like 115 hp Maybe? But good TQ with 4x4 and it is light. I wanna v8 swap it at some ponit. I have bodywork to do frame work and alot other odds and ends first. So should go 351 or 302 to make north of 300 hp. may also be carbed I would like that.
302 would be a better fit you just follow what the Ranger guys do since its the same pick-up// carb will be the best to get the power vs tune dialing it in via PC or mail order tune...I like efi set-up myself cause i just want to the factory look. it can be done click here www.therangerstation.com/tech_library/V8Conversions.shtml
I jumped right in and am doing the stick shift swap lol (dual exhaust kind of comes with that because I'm cutting the pipes out of my way). All the parts are ordered and on the way :) .. (my bank told me so :( .....)
I will do it but i am figuring some exhaust stuff for my Crown Vic ( before i dive in ) need to sort a few things... Need drill bits and a rescue bit so I dont get stuck just looking at the exhaust pipe
Gears/ suspension/ exhaust/ jmod or tune. Cold air intake is a waste of money. Also keep in mind what year your car is. Depending on if your car is cable or electric throttle different mods will work or not
@@vicology9496 I agree with you on that. While a cat back will save you some coin why have brand new exhaust when your headers and cats are old and crusty
it aint bro those rear gears was a pain to do... I got it down on the cheap but it take some time.. thats the best pound for pound mode with tune ( thats all you need )
@@bstfordchannel923 I'm still new to the crvic club, nursing an old p74, I'm going to start with changing the (amazingly original factory from 99) cracked manifold, Cal-Van inserts, new plugs, new coils, new coolant tank, hose, water pump, maybe new injectors (not sure how well the old ones can be cleaned), and fill it back up with some green juice hope it never leaks again for next 20yrs. I hate coolant leaks :) Next i may tackle the boat style springs and shocks, i still want comfort, but i hate rocking side to side
yes the info was boring or repetitive so is school and many kids STILL fail. So this was a reminder to those THINKING that these cars will become some Challenger contender think again... In order for people to get it. You have to repeat like 1+1=2 . 4.6 Engine + 200hp + 4000lbs of car equals slow , but what is true performance a reliable car or a FAST unreliable car.. Thank you for the comment Emiliano
I’ll have to disagree on the full exhaust system not being worth the hassle..the factory exhaust system is 2inches with a very restrictive manifold that barely reaches 1 3/4 inches at its widest (in the best manifold)..now you take the 1 3/4 primaries with headers feeding into 2 1/2 inches unrestricted straight back exhaust..the power you pick up will NOT disappoint you
how much hp to the wheels a crown vic makes? the cost of a full exhaust is a lot.. headers cost a lot for these cars.. i figure if you just take the center section the exhaust and leave mufflers you will get a cheap increase.. 2.5 max even a 2 inch will do 2.5 exhaust is good for 200-250 hp vic do not need 3 inch exhaust in stock form I may explain deeper in a video. I agree with you, but i mentioned this in a cost saving in hp mods
BST Ford Channel I’ve stated before that mustang parts can me modified to fit panther cars with ease and the exhaust is no exception..you can go many different ways including long tube headers but I chose a set of shorty headers and an off road x pipe as I do not need emissions in my state..all in I have about $300 in my exhaust because I already had a cat back from a previous project..as it is one of my many on going projects I have yet to get her on the rollers and have a proper tuning but as far as my butt dyno is concerned I am very happy with the end result in power performance and sound..I too am on an extreme budget so every dollar has to count so trust me I’d never suggest something I couldn’t do myself..there are a lot of possibilities out there do not limit yourself to only a few ya dig??
They do and that will be good for what hp you have.. Lest say you have 600hp to the wheels you must get the suspension right..Cause one day you are going test all of that 600hp and the suspesion needs to deliver good results
@@bstfordchannel923 i don't plan on doing time attack with #twotontina so even with 600hp, i wouldn't be dumping over a grand just for front coilovers.

Like you mention you just want a little something and cruise thats ideal and realistic ( in our world ) so i get it... i will say this IF My crown has 600hp that means i will make the suspension better thus to match the power for me..

Your supposed to change the exhaust studs anyway. Its a heated part that gets stressed everyday. Quality parts like Arp studs will take care of this. Also the proper headers will effect horsepower tremendously. Its a v8 buddy this is how airflow works. If you can make the air come out faster and easier with clean resistant free bends you will make HP this coupled with a proper intake and throttle body will guarantee it. It sounds like those aftermarket parts were cheap and incorrect for that engine. But don't misinform the public.
@@carnationvideos4258 Thats no problem let me clear out this garage .. Thats why i have not taking on work we just cltter the works space... that has to change .. I do not mid doing it at all
They do add hp but how much hp ( on a stock cam car ) pay 1,500 and up for headers and catback and your results are 10hp-15 hp not good odds.. and just maybe the studs will break now your in the hole just a bit ( the odds I am speaking on Mista )

Being a crown Victoria guy, I found your page to have the best advice for CV mods. Suspension & get rid of the 4.6.
very very true Ben it cost a lot to make them fast here is what i am doing to mine ruclips.net/video/tyuGFkJN-h0/видео.html
I did a simple mods on my 07 C.V. 1) Dual exhaust & low restriction mufflers. 2) Traction Lok for the differential. I'm satisfied.
as you should brother.. i just make suggestions this is not law by no means..Its all about how you drive and whats in your wallet.. You did great with those mods
Ur 100% right. On my '03 Interceptor back in '07 I put 3.73's wit an Auburn posi & I can't wait till I have da money to put em on my '02 Crown Victoria LX Sport.
Again, I feel u 100% but dat cold air intake especially from K&N makes ur car sound like a demon from hell half throttle & better.
I still think thats the best mod for what you are about to do on your 02 my dude.. keep me posted on that.. I love to hear about the performance feel
@@bstfordchannel923 No doubt & stay up. Hopefully I'll start postin videos bout my Vic on Utube. When I do I'll letchu know da channel.
@@The_Inspiration_86 I really hope you post videos ( so we can support one another ) I really would like to see that fo real...stay up my dude
I think you're exactly correct about the list of mods. You know what you're talking about 100%. Liked and subscribed...
thank you for that... Just dealing with real deal results.. hard to make these cars fast ( on a Budget ) but you can make them better to drive ( or fun to drive ) the Tune and the rear gears will make itr happen ( get the gears 1st then the tune to match the gearing ) and it will be a new car.. Just have to select the right gearing for your needs
Thank You for the sub ad the comment Dan!
I gotta admit I'm mid 20s but I'm an old man at heart lmao. I want a grand marq, but I keep looking at performance mods that totally cancels out the comfort factor lmao.. can't make up my mind ever. 😂 great video.
for us with these cars Corkoth its tough. e start with a 4.6 which have very little hp but VERY reliable . WE have 205 to 210 hp on a used motor with 4k chassis in weight. to make reliable hp it cost to make cheap hp well its unreliable. Like you mentioned you have to give and tack and your not will to take away the comforts of the car..
In you spare time check out this video when you have a chance ruclips.net/video/tyuGFkJN-h0/видео.html let me know what you think
good point bro. maybe the gears and the jmod will give it the juice it needs without taking away too much comfort (exhaust noise). I know it doesn't make sense but I'm not looking to go balls to the wall, just a good fun daily to keep the miles off my newer ride. thanks man you help. great vids.
@@Corkoth55 j mod up the rear gears to 375 and 150 tune and the car will be night and day or skip j mod and go with gears and tune and you will have something. Thank you for commenting bro

Solid advice! I never, ever (really) thought about pulling a rear gear from a different vehicle in a junk yard... that is a brilliant cost saver!! And that screen shot of the Ford gears - what magnificent artwork... seems like I have seen it before :)
if your vic has 28 splice get guts from a 4 banger ranger with the 8.8 now if you have the 31 splice get that from the v8 ford explorer ( 302 ). thank you the support Handy Dad!
i did the headers on my 2003 crown vic, and in fact the exhaust studs broke. im very happy with them, it sounds freaking loud!
headers i would do If the cost was lower and IF i had replace the studs... I am SURE you car is not rusty like the NJ cars.. I rather a turbo on my end and TURBOS are a headache PB-Wonka
BST Ford Channel Where in nj are you??
Love the video. Thumbs up, but have to provide another point of view. Modern engines are all about the tune. There is more power there than anywhere else. So I would propose this alternative path to better acceleration...
1) Marty Tune on SCT from Mos' Speed shop. Tell him you are going to run a CIA, cat back exhaust and change your rear gearing.
2) Cold Air intake. Be sure it is true cold air. (outside of underhood or at least where the intake filter is shielded from under hood radiant heat and has a path to draw air from outside) Remember air is 14X more important than fuel and each 7 degree increase in intake temp reduces output by 1 hp.
3) Do the exhaust exactly as you say or spend the bucks for the Borla or Magniflow panther kits. Get rid of the 2nd set of cats and be sure to have an h or x pipe.
4) Change the rear gears and while you are in there add some type of limited slip diff so you do not have a one tire fire.
Bonus Mod - Underdrive pulleys. These are low cost and raise the entire TQ/HP curve. No tune required for this one.
1005 correct on tune. yeah that the part that is always left out.. people want to hear what THEY can do... The tuner does the other thing.. Thats why thereis disconnect of hotrodding cause of it. sad deal but you can even rev your motor underneath your hood
Very well done you definitely know what you’re talking about so thank you very much for the straight up information you don’t hear that very often on the Internet
I try to be honest as possible.. I weigh the pros and cons ( some times i rant ) but when it comes to performance and money being spent.. I like to be as on point as possible Daryle. People over spend and THINK they going to HP in something that was designed flawed for high hp. There are small thing ( combined ) can make it feel like it has more hp. o give that enjoyment desired is a huge a$$ car.. 4000-lbs car needs a the least 400hp and 400 tq to match to have the car to move and be enjoyed..
Finally, a video foe panther cars that show what you need to know. Great. Like and subscribed. (Towncar driver) Headers and K+N are tempting me no more. 3.5!!!!
Thank you for this! ... I am pausing on the video just a bit got new position but I will back at it... Just need to learn a bit ( can not force feed videos ) I may revamp old video and make cleaner ( visuals )
8.8" rear end for dummies:
The door code will tell you what gears are in that car (unless someone changed).
DO THIS BEFORE YOU GET UNDER THE CAR/TRUCK.
Once you think it is what are looking for verify with tag on rear end.
Thanks for your advice. :-)
agreed they must know the codes 1st
Great work on the video brother. Don't change a thing. Prayin for you.
Love the video. Can tell you actually know what your talking about lol I'm planning on getting an 03 maybe a year or 2 newer or older is there anything in specific I should look out for like rust spots on the frame bc I'm in Michigan and the rust is fuckin everywhere
oooooh yes Michiagan is worst than NJ for the rust for sure... I thank you for checking the video ect bro... I would say start with a 04 and up Vic or panther its the better choice as far as what you can do with the car...
I just got a vic and I rlly want to get some better HP out of it. Just did dual cherry bombs for better flow. I know about throttle bodies but wanted to know if there was anything other than something crazy like heads and cam. I can't do gears bc I do a lot of highway driving.

Quick question, 2008 CVPI’s have acceleration times of around 6.6 seconds 0 to 60 and 2011 CVPI’s have acceleration times around 7.5 seconds 0 to 60, due to a less aggressive tune from the factory with the 2011’s. So that being said, if I tuned a 2008 and it gets a 6 second 0-60 from the tune, would that mean that my 2011 would be at 6 flat as well or would the 2011 be slower even if tuned because of the original tune being sloppy? Thank you!!
it will be the same if tuned if you check Mos speed shop... Check this video get the niumber ruclips.net/video/3vgPZkZXTVo/видео.html
@@bstfordchannel923 Interesting, so just to clarify, no matter how the factory tune previously was, if you performance tune a car, it will bring it to the max performance that a tune could bring, correct?
@@mod3rnwarrior34 well each engine performs different lest say your car made 250hp and 275 and my car makes the same each car will react different it will be in the same ballpark give or take 2hp or 5hp... What you are saying is correct if your car perfoms well already but we speaking about a 2v engine nobody built a 2v NA with 400hp ( cheap ) if i had a dyno i would play around with some numbers...

@@mod3rnwarrior34 maybe I will make this into a video and have my man Jay explain ( with motor cycles )... this was a very cool comment
@@mod3rnwarrior34 also you must factory a REAL TUNE ( dyno ) vs a a Flash Tune... The real dyno tune is best suited to THAT engine vs a mail order cookie cutter tune..

Can you put a p71 rear end on a 05 grand marquis will it still work with the traction control?
The rear are the same ( look at your rear on your car ) and see if there is a sensor going into the diff.. if you do you need one from a Lincoln Town car or traction control version like your car and crown vic... The Police Vics do not have traction control
spend the 1200 bones and make it a manual trans. best thing you can do for a crown vic. they have kits now that are very easy to install. all you have to do is find 1 of 3 trans that will work in your car.

@@stuartracing1.Merry Christmas to you also.. I think we need some solid dyno results on a vic.. that would be cool.
You can put a exploder rear end and a ranger in a vic? Like a 2000 cvpi I already have exhaust and shift kit. I wrecked it awhile back and had to swap the entire axle with a grand marquis axle that has a 2:73 from my police 3:55 I want a bigger gear like a 4:10?
Nope just the ( just the gears ) cause those all are 8.8... The rears differ ( axle lengths ) cause of land some are staggered ... 3.55 are good 3.73 are better to move mass ( panther body ) 4.10 are to race or burn rubber cause you know this cars ( you can punch nit ) and you get no sound from the tires in many cases
4.10 gears are the cheapest way to gain performance.
To get power from a 4.6 2v. The same rules apply to a Chevy Ls as does a 4.6 2v.
I do admit there are not many manufacturers for long tube headers for the 4.6 2v.
that is very true i can not even debate this Marzosirus .. they isnt much of anything with a good price for a 4.6 .. It just cost a lot with little results
what's your opinion on a rear cat delete? Is there any power to be had there and what are the chances of it throwing a CEL
yeah it will loosen up a few ponies and give it NICE sound to boot... its a go on that mod

Hey Wingnut,
Quick question;
Do you know how to deactivate the horn chirp when locking the car with the remote key fob?
There's a procedure on page 76 in my owners manual for my 2004 Crown Vic, but my 2010 Grand Marquis fails to mention a procedure. I tried the procedure for the 2004, on the 2010 and it goes into programming mode because I get the lock/unlock confirmation. But I still can't deactivate the horn chirp, when locking the car with the remote key fob.
I usually like the audible confirmation when locking up the car, but not when I come home at 3AM trying to be quiet. lol
Worse case scenario, maybe I'll install take the WJ Handy Dad route, and install a bypass switch on the ground wire of the horn.

ok Bx Burban if you are taking trips like that keep the gearing the same for a bit ( to enjoy the stockness ) of the car..Just do the catback ( do not toy with the engine ) no tune no intake stuff.. Just do that catback ( to get a growl ) to the car.. you have to sit with the gears ( but stay stock if taking long trips ) ... Thank you for the support i do not want to steer you wrong bro..

Who I have to get a tune after swapping to 3.73’s?
770-222-5015 and ask for Marty and explain what you are doing. make sure you get a sct scanner
I’ll have to disagree on the full exhaust system not being worth the hassle..the factory exhaust system is 2inches with a very restrictive manifold that barely reaches 1 3/4 inches at its widest (in the best manifold)..now you take the 1 3/4 primaries with headers feeding into 2 1/2 inches unrestricted straight back exhaust..the power you pick up will NOT disappoint you
how much hp to the wheels a crown vic makes? the cost of a full exhaust is a lot.. headers cost a lot for these cars.. i figure if you just take the center section the exhaust and leave mufflers you will get a cheap increase.. 2.5 max even a 2 inch will do 2.5 exhaust is good for 200-250 hp vic do not need 3 inch exhaust in stock form I may explain deeper in a video. I agree with you, but i mentioned this in a cost saving in hp mods
BST Ford Channel I’ve stated before that mustang parts can me modified to fit panther cars with ease and the exhaust is no exception..you can go many different ways including long tube headers but I chose a set of shorty headers and an off road x pipe as I do not need emissions in my state..all in I have about $300 in my exhaust because I already had a cat back from a previous project..as it is one of my many on going projects I have yet to get her on the rollers and have a proper tuning but as far as my butt dyno is concerned I am very happy with the end result in power performance and sound..I too am on an extreme budget so every dollar has to count so trust me I’d never suggest something I couldn’t do myself..there are a lot of possibilities out there do not limit yourself to only a few ya dig??

lmao nah dude many guy ned to be reminded about these cars... You can twaek them but they will not be a 392 Dodge or a Coyote Mustang
Good vid man!👍🏻
thank you for that man.. Just trying to lead people in the direction they want..Many of us do not have the cash to spare..
BST Ford Channel Yeah man you have a great channel. Videos where everyday normal guys show other everyday normal guys how to hot rod on a budget is where it’s at. These are exactly the kind of videos everybody is looking for.
@@harrison4ever125 I watched videos and read to research a lot about Hot-rodding and the beginnings .. We lost touch of that.. We do not suppose to spend tons of money to have fun or to enjoy the culture of cars.. Harrison its like people LIVE way above there means bro to impress ( i am not one of those ) nor are you and the people that subbed.. I thought way back then you had to SPEND, but I learned Hotrodding is a ( lifestyle ) a feeling not a bank account.. I just put my thoughts on ( ho to have fun ) with in a budget...Look at all the channels spend spend spend in the end a person can build that..Nothing special no soul in the build ..
BST Ford Channel That’s what I loved about MotorTrend’s Roadkill show. That was essentially the essence of that show until it started getting a lot of traction and got a lot of sponsorship. Really started going south quick often they got sponsored by Dodge.
A vq engine swap?
We have VQ in the garage ... the issue is the cost to make run standalone... Now the other way we can do is use a harness from a 1996 Nissan maxima ( that would be the best thing ) Now we can eve find those cars in the yard... The standalone set-up with stock ecu ( aka theft delete or key delete ) around $1,500
I run a taxi and had the same k&n filter on three of them. Probably had 500k miles when I threw it away.
I should have kept my taxi it hurts sometimes sorry for the late reply Birdup i was working on the Maverick here ruclips.net/video/0JweZqQb0oU/видео.html
Your supposed to change the exhaust studs anyway. Its a heated part that gets stressed everyday. Quality parts like Arp studs will take care of this.
Also the proper headers will effect horsepower tremendously. Its a v8 buddy this is how airflow works.
If you can make the air come out faster and easier with clean resistant free bends you will make HP this coupled with a proper intake and throttle body will guarantee it.
It sounds like those aftermarket parts were cheap and incorrect for that engine. But don't misinform the public.
true on all you mentioned headers for these cost 900 and hp gain maybe 10hp not good odds for 900 bucks for a whole catback system or just headers
I feel so left out.
Both my Panthers are bone stock. lol
Do not feel bad bro I am right there with ya....It takes time to put the money in the right place
K&N air filter.
I wish I knew how to do the J Mod on my 97 GM
I think it works on there you have to check and see.. It does cause you have to drill hold different and sizes are to,. I have to check
BST I will bring it to you and you can show everyone how it’s done?
I’m being for real
@@carnationvideos4258 Thats no problem let me clear out this garage .. Thats why i have not taking on work we just cltter the works space... that has to change .. I do not mid doing it at all
BST Ford Channel sweet man. I’m in Jacksonville Florida
@@carnationvideos4258 My farther was born in Jacksonville bro.. Florida is a home away from home
I dont agree about headers they are expensive but do add hp and yeah if the bolts break but stock manifolds are restrictive
They do add hp but how much hp ( on a stock cam car ) pay 1,500 and up for headers and catback and your results are 10hp-15 hp not good odds.. and just maybe the studs will break now your in the hole just a bit ( the odds I am speaking on Mista )
Drop a 351 Cleveland in a CV that's bitchen
Thats my plan in the future I NEED TO LEARN more about ecu wiring the 302 but 351 may be carbed,,,, I would like to efi it though ...
I second that remark
I have 2010 interceptor E-85 j- mode 93 tune bigger injectors Thottle body lot better transmission higher compression longer stroke slightly smaller bore much much more came from ford that way 0-60. 5 seconds can't find them in California emissions states no flex fule they suck.the only badge they have is interceptor yellow fule cap with E-85 on it
Plenty flex fuel rides over here i seen a lot of them... Curious how much those mods cost or it came like that when you bought it
@@bstfordchannel923 you can only find them in States that don't have California emissions they only have interceptor badge yellow gas cap with E-85 there all white city cop cars most of them are probably in the south east they came that way from factory this way very awesome
@@dennisparker3786 ahhh ok i seem some flex fuel badge version I even seen ( Natrual Gas ) version like a dang forklift ,, propane
@@bstfordchannel923 I can't get any info from ford. I'm going to send off for build sheet it should give me info I need ill let you know
@@dennisparker3786 keep me posted dude
Good ass video. Always wondered how legit j modding was.
The base hp is the issue for the 4.6.. It was built to be efficiency.. Just think of a 1000hp Honda.. How much time and money STUDIES to get that to that point. Just cause its a v8 people think its a 302 or 351 or a Ls base motor... It has a very smooth hp climb.. You can not slap on bolts on and hope for the best..
Thank you for the support Joe b
@@bstfordchannel923 honestly thank you for making great videos and then also providing feedback. Im sure you work, and if not you got enough cars to be workin on. So i appreciate the feedback and like detailed videos. Im not a car expert, love my vic. Watched 1000s of these channels. Your name dont lie.
@@bstfordchannel923 right too the things a work horse. I equate it to a truck engine. Like the ls block is used in trucks and vets. Obviously it has different things to make it more resilient to push that weight. I want speed, but that should be a side effect of making a great whip
@@joeb6137 Thank you for the support bro i am just like you... i just dive in and figure it out later lmao... I really thank you for taking the time out to even respond... it really helps me do more for the channel .. i enjoy doing this 1005 and guys like you make it even more fun bro..
Now.. On the hearing
.. If your crown vic that u hammering on, was previousl ya Seniors Sedan and by that I mean to say it was NOT a police cRazy or police support vehicle( look at your VIN.. For a 3 digit code reading "P71' or "P74". Thse cars built with 3:73 rear gears. Now listen to the man talk on that Ford Explorer PUMPKIN WITH Ford's "(true lok post tracktion
thank you for this comment here is what i am working on ruclips.net/video/CxudplMXLck/видео.html
Damn this explains why my 03 Explorer is faster and both wheels slide vs my 11 Vic.
yup way quicker than a vic. think hp bumped a little on your explorer also
Dope
Gonna put Mr random out of business lol
Mr Random has a HUGE core following . I have to be honest on my end ( and logical ) and think for the guys that done have the funds and guide them to a god space to not over spend.. thank you for this comment bro.. this means a lot to me
Magnaflow? You got it all wrong... flowmaster 40's all the way. 40's sound the best.
really? well let me know how you feel about this subject Nick ruclips.net/video/A-Cz62AabGY/видео.html
Im running knockoff flowmasters. Its all subjective but imo u gotta try pretty hard to make a v8 sound bad 😂 almost anything will work.
@@twoeightythreez In my opinion flowmaster is the best I've heard... I'm running flowmaster 40's and catless x pipes on my 94 gt mustang and it's sounds pretty good.
Don't put 93 octane...🤔
Its a waste of 💰.
very true in stock form with a tune it will be needed. i use reg in my car
I saw a chupacabra once
i did exhaust first, m-80's
Yung Amerindian what’s m-80? I wanted stainless works but went with OBX. It pulls hard with just the full exhaust. Studs breaking are always a fear factor when installing headers. Check out my channel
Not touching the engine....and its close or over $3000.....hahaha.....he said for the broke......
Thats the ugliest green crown vic I have ever seen. Lmao
yeah that i agree that 1973 Ford mavick Vic is ugly lmao
