Nobody is doing a 5 speed swap for $400, considering you need a tune from marty (costs more for that tune than the auto tune) Plus you need pedals, conversion ujoint, correct yoke, adjustable clutch cable, quadrant and firewall adjuster. Oh yea, then you gotta buy a trans, Clutch and Flywheel... Lol
I'd hardly say the manual swap is $400... You're gonna spend $400 on the clutch pedal kit alone, and that's assuming you don't have an 04+ with drive by wire.
@purritopoe4842 doesn't matter if he lives in Texas or not the clutch pedals and fabricated drive shaft needed for this build to even work is over 800 now add in transmission clutch flywheel, quadrant linkage, and ECU flash needed... Try closer to 4k than 400...
I love my 2007 Ford Crown Victoria P71! Today it is in outstanding shape. Even though it has 185,504 miles and 6,136 idle hours. Over the last five years I've owned it, I have rebuilt the transmission at a premium Speed Shop for $3.8K. Water pump, alternator, starter, rear axels, and rear wheel bearings, all with lifetime warranties. Intake manifold, injectors & coils. This car sat in a body shop for a very long time. The front and back doors on the passenger side do not match the vin#. No frame rust, but my next project is to replace both front quarter fenders and a new paint job (it is white, so it will stay white. Right after I had a new set of "W"(168mph) rated tires installed. I took her out for a run. Yes, the P71 isn't the fastest thing off the line, but at 155mph she makes you feel like you're only doing 40mph. She just sets down on the road and goes, All around my neighborhood people have these new cars and SUVs, yet I know, for a fact, that I could chase each and every last one of them right down into the junkyard and still drive away. Not even these newer cop SUVs/Trucks would stand a chance in a durability test. It is truly the beast of beasts. I'm so proud to be the owner of such a clean example of the 07 Crown Vic P71
A diy manual swap for $400 is almost a ridiculous sounding as having a shop do it for $1000. Both of those numbers are EXTREMELY low. Otherwise, over half would probably be manual swapped already..
I had to hit the like button because they don't offer a "effin right!" button. DIY price is easily doubled and having it done at a shop is easily triple his price. Clueless!
You niggas go up to one shop, they tell you sum bullshit, then u get puppy eyed feel defeated & quit. Lmao ask around, find parts dirt cheap, read how to do the shit yourself for little no money, the shit is not rocket science.
Remember that if you use a K&N filter you need to clean your mass air flow sensor periodically because the oil from the filter loves to stick to the sensor's guts. When you clean and oil the filter, be sure you do NOT over oil! You will have MAF issues and possibly a CEL if you do!
That is what I've heard. That is why I haven't done it. I believe you may get a little bit better throttle response, bit not any noticable hp gains. To me, the cost and negative effects are just not worth what little benefit there may be.
@@jasoncooper3116 It takes like 2 minutes to clean the MAF, and K&N recommends cleaning/re-oiling every 50,000 miles. I clean my MAF once a year, so it's not exactly a soul crushing amount of maintenance. My butt dyno approves of the K&N. Besides, what else can you drop $50 on, install in 30 seconds, and get a tangible performance increase?
@@rduonnolo Errgh... the little tube that sticks out of the bottom corner of the air box is a crucial design feature because it pulls air from behind the headlight assembly where the air is significantly cooler than the air inside the engine bay. Cooler air is more dense (thus more richly populated with oxygen) than the warm/hot air created by the heat from the engine and exhaust system. It is a true 'cold air intake' straight from the factory. Only so much air can pass through the intake tube and throttle body because of inherent size and flow capabilities baked into Ford's design. The easiest way to enhance performance without increasing air volume is to increase the oxygen saturation of the air going into the intake manifold is to simply reduce the temperature of the air to take advantage of the more oxygen dense property of the cooler air. You have undoubtedly altered the sound of the engine, but I would be very surprised if there is a legitimate performance improvement from cutting holes in your intake inside the engine bay.
Soooo i have the Marty 93 octane which was $525. I have 4.10 gears set up $150 for the actual part , $1200 to install ....... FTI high stall torque converter which was $359 paired with a monster transmission that was $1200 I have the steeda underdrive pulley which was $250. The last three item are in the shop now being installed all for a total of $$1200. Just to give you guys an update on real time pricing
@@rob-8742 you gotta get the lash right with shims. i can see it being a time consuming job. you gotta play with it, take it out shim, put it back and try it till it's right. the pinion has to be set to a certain depth as well before shimming.. it's one of those things that can be easy or a total pain in the ass. sometimes though, you get what you pay for that much in labor might sound bad but if you want it to last..
@@rob-8742 naw thats about the going rate one shop quoted me 1000 but he wasn't confident on doing it. I ended up taking it to a performance shop who did it with ez.
K&N is a total waste of money. You're better off just putting a new paper filter in once a year. And $400 for a manual swap in a Panther is a total fantasy.
J.T. Cooper When in REALITY K&N filters have more than PROVEN themselves and there is literally zero argument to make against that known FACT..The only thing that that is proven about a manual swap is the fact that people like YOU have zero knowledge about cars and if you’re paying $2500 and doing the work yourself you’re overpaying by A LOT 🤦♂️😂🤣..if you THINK a manual swap cost anywhere near $2500 I have a bridge for sale in Brooklyn, real cheap 😂🤣
Absolutely same care except gears and intake I ordered a used tuner and a cvpi intake now I’m find a way to get a trac loc and 4.10 gears and when it’s done ima get my custome tune from Marty
@@TaylorMadejdm1975 Mr random he said if you tie the rear bumper it will decrease drag more aerodynamic system under car you should check him out bro Mr random
As for the 4.10 gears, I looked into replacing my 4R70W instead of just putting a rebuild kit into it, but... If I drop a 6R80 in to replace it, I get a much lower first gear, with closer spaced ratios all the way to a .69:1 6th gear, so I still have overdrive for low-rev highway work. It costs a lot more, but at least I don't have to worry about my warranty expiring!
I’ve actually priced both options out, for the trans, controller, wiring harness, driveshaft, ujoints, tuner and credits for a 6r80 swap vs the 5 speed and everything involved with that, it’s about the same price. But, the 6r80 definitely be quicker.
Choosing the right cam and headers will get you more power for less money than this list. +20 for a tune on a V8 engine isn't that great. The secret to cheap speed has always been weight reduction and gearing. I could easily get this car down to 3,000 lbs without even trying. Add some 4:10 gears, you'll have a much much quicker car that handles a ton better and stops alot better too. K&N filters suck, you need an actual Cold air intake to benefit from anything like that.
@@phenom4023 remove the sound deadening and insulation under the carpet. Then ditch the spare tire and jack. Could replace the front seats with lightweight racing seats. That's about it for the interior without making it look bad. The real weight reduction is under the car and the hood, along with fiberglass front clip. My first weight reduction mod on any car is a/c delete and sometimes power steering delete. On some cars you'll even gain a few horsepower that way, but not always. Lighter wheels are a huge benefit too, if you are willing to spend the money. I'm just scratching the surface here since there's alot of weight reduction tricks you can do without making your car look bad. It's basically free horsepower and it improves the life of your engine too because you are moving less weight. The key is to figure out what you want to do with the car and how far you want to go with it.
Dude, you are so off. You could get it to 3k lbs, huh? Even if you removed the entire engine it would still weigh over 3k. These cars weigh 4,100 lbs, boss, taking a spare out and putting lightweight wheels is moot point. And 20 hp for a tune isn’t a lot? Dude, what are you talking about? That is great for a horsepower:price ratio. “K&N filters suck, you need a cold air intake.” The crown Vic comes with a cold air induction box already. A k&n filter would flow much better than a paper filter. You just seem to be talking without any real data about these cars.
Cmon now Mr random I love your videos but your not getting 8-10 hp gains off deleting a muffler or even the cats. After you delete them even with a tune to take care of that exhaust delete maybe half a hp. I don’t think people realize how much of a difference u feel at 2-5 hp let alone 10
Yeah that's very hopeful gains and I believe he said rear mufflers one time then rear cats another. Then there's resonators on a civilian will gain about nothing but sound.
@@linwoodavenue4300 They say that because they're too scared or don't wanna spend the money to try them out.... And they listen to other morons who've never tried them either and want to justify it but saying omg imma lose milage
The tr3650 IS a tremec 5 speed. Also if you think you are going to do a tr3650 swap for $400 you are insane. Short of finding a wrecked Mustang GT in the junkyard and only using the parts off of that car, the swap is going to run the average person closer to $1,000 if you do it yourself and install a new clutch set. Don't forget that you're going to need some serious fabrication knowledge.
I did the 93 Oct Marty tune, new plugs, MSD coil packs, K&N filter thanks to your video's, even though it has the 327 rear end it runs, shifts and performs so much better now, T.Y., hope you have a meet somewhere in S. Alabama or NW Fla sometime.
Marty is a good dude he calls you to set up everything . he does awsome work with VICS and mustangs. Ive known him for a year or so . I love near tucker Ga so its sort of a drive for me lol. But worth it
@@D.D.REAPER if I can go right to the shop it’d be a great experience and seeing some of the pics on Facebook I really want to see some of the cars in person
+5 hp from changing the air filter? Out of the 12K or so I've put into my GM, the Marty Tune is the one thing I would absolutely not be able to do without. Even with that said, there's no way you're getting +20hp from a tune, Marty or not lol. This guy is either smoking Jupiter Dust or has no idea about Panthers
Bro I like your recommendation but your pricing is a bunch of bullshit anything having to do with a diff is gonna cost $1500-$4,000 a transmission swap will cost at minimum $1800.00 and K&N air filters normally is $60.00 maybe you can find some discounts or rebates but not the everyday buyer a tune and can shift tune can cost veries some can be as simple as plug and play others require a complete flash of your ECM and Dino tested to correct any fuel air trims that aren’t properly tuned correctly. I like your presentation and the recommendations but your pricing is bullshit and I’d suggest making a video that corrects that it’s disrespectful to mislead people in your community with false facts and misinformation. Make it right homie.

My goal is to make it a Marauder tribute that it should have been. 350 hp cammed 2 valve 4.6, trans shift kit, 2200 stall converter, 3.55 rear gears, aluminum driveshaft, and 2 inch lowered suspension with cross drilled rotors on 18" wheels.
@Mike Mike Johnson Google Mo's Speed Shop and give him a call. I think he sells you a tuner and loads a tune custom taylored to your car before he ships it out. If you have the tuner, he will sell you a tune and email it to you so you can load it onto your tuner...I think. I still haven't done it yet. I did get 4:10 gears. I highly recommend that too!

I want to mod it some but have to fix my POS 01 Silverado for winter first. Just absolutely love my car great ride, good power and gas mileage.
I paid way to much for my 04 grand marquis , really burned my ass knowing I could have Purchased one way cheaper but I was in desperate mode and needed something right away , every time one would turn up cheaper I couldn’t get to it thanks to the wonderful fucked society we live in now a days .
Eric Ouellette Do you have 180lbs of dumbbells in your trunk? The heaviest marquis weighs under 3975 lbs so you have to have a lot of extra weight in your car
FYI do NOT put the K&N in any car. It let's all kind of small and big particles (dirt, dust, ect...) it is proven to be lighter and let more air in for a reason. If you are only racing this car, this is good, if you drive this car at all, DO NOT use K&N. Only someone that thinks a k&n is good also believes muffler delete cost nothing and would actually be good. Check state laws 1st before taking your mufflers out if you drive this car on the street, also muffler delete does cost very little if you have the garage, tools, torches, welders need to do the job, unless you have aftermarket ones on it that's easy to take the hinges off.
I mean I did gut an entire rear end in a driveway on jack stands in previous owners drive way. added bigger gears and new passenger axle as it snapped. Also replaced spider gears and that weird s shaped clip PITA shit. Took the rest of it out to clean and inspect as most of the gears themselves were chipped from previous owner.
@@uhfnutbar1 Correct so you need the gears before tou get the tune. Tune 500 or 150 . 150 for automatic tune. Then 200 for a 5 speed tune.if you have Sct scanner the tunes are 150 or 200 or 250 . 1200.00 low end for tune and gear set.
@@chrisbird1909 like I said did it myself. Got rear end from another Vic in from junkyard (150$) and took the parts from that and swapped it into mine.

Marty=unlimited tuning, stock interceptor pcm= SLIGHTLY better STOCK performance..it’s pretty clear..the ONLY pro to an interceptor pcm is the price but when it comes to mods, you get what you pay for 🤷♂️
I would argue reliability. The ultimate value of these cars, and why there’s so many still around, and why they’re so cheap, is reliability. Cops could ABUSE these cars for just years and then sell ‘em off for $900 so some Donut fan could grab it and beat the wheels off of it for 5-6 more years, only to turn around and sell it for $2k to someone who just needs a ride to work for the next ten years. Not only will it last, it will last while you beat the snot out of it. Make it go a little faster, might make it break faster. Meanwhile, the car is predictable due to a perfect weight balance and all that. So, the fact that the car is predictable means that you see very little diminishment to returns for developed skill. You could get WAY faster in this car just DRIVING it, than trying to squeeze hp out of it.
My 2011ffv p7b has an e85 Marty tune with 23lb injectors, ford performance fuel rails and intake, the k&n drop in, 3.21 to 3.55 lsd swap, upgraded fuel pump, custom built lightened aluminum driveshaft, shift kit with a trans rebuild, Marty also adjusted the shift points after the trans was back in. Smaller pulleys with a spare belt to swap to when I want to have the most of it on the pedal. I went with an inch wider tire on the rear and I run mid 13s pretty consistently. 13.417-13.710 were my highest and lowest times since the current build was finish. Haven't dynod yet but I'd hope it atleast has 360 to the wheels
@@eriv4735 common 15% average drivetrain loss. Stock the 2011 is 239hp So that 203 at the wheels stock. Now factor in the bolt on's and the tune. Only real way to know for sure is a Dyno.
Waitwaitwait.. You added the Marty Tune w/o the trans tune with the cost of the vic. If you can find 2006 vics with or without the Marty tune for 550, tell me, and ill be on the next plane. Otherwise either the math or your statement is off the cost of the car.
What about the ported elbow from adtr thats like 300 bucks and will give you power unlike most of the mods here. or even a bigger throttle body or both
I have a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis LS and it is a great car. The first modification I have made was changing my headlights to Fahren LED's. I also put in a transmission oil cooler and have gone to Amsoil for the transmission and in the engine. I would not go to the 4:10 gear ratio. I had this in my 1964 Ford f250 and I finally went to a higher gear ratio and it improved my MPG and ability to to faster than 55 mph. My next addition is putting in an Amsoil remote bypass oil filter.
Gotta love the delusional Mr. Random for the entertainment value of the futile efforts to spend money and time to remake a Panther into something that is still slower than a stock Mustang. If 4.6 2V performance is your che, then look up Andrew Lavender (who is now running 7.8x's and 7.9x's at 170 mph with his 2V). First thing is weight reduction lol! You know what works just as well as the K&N air filter? - just install ANY new fresh and clean air filter! Spend $500 to tune your economical 4.6 to now need premium fuel? - well ok, its your gas budget. 4.10 gears, see previous comment. Also, complete gear install for $200 - on what planet? Install the gears yourself and you will need some special tools and if you goof it then the gears will not last. Five speed swap for $400, again on what planet. Also note that a higher stall torque converter will give you quicker acceleration than a manual trans swap. Love the slow af side by side demo of a shift kit vs. the canshift. Four door Mustang? by deleting the mufflers? Show us your time slips again
@@phenom4023 Just enjoy your panther for what it is: a durable and inexpensive to maintain car that is reasonably roomy. If you want to go fast, then start with a car that is smaller and lighter and has lots of drag parts available - like a Mustang.
I'll finally be uploading my 2 03' Mercury Grand Marquis builds and the story about the 2 car's and bringing them back to life... Hey keep up the hardwork and the bumper looks awesome!!!

One of my mods is a TCI Deep Transmission pan with full synthetic transmission fluid. It adds 2 and a half quarts and doesn't change the ground to pan height clearance. Note: Do not completely flush your transmission fluid just change it. The new pan has a magnetized drain plug making subsequent fluid changes easier.
Another one I would suggest is getting getting an old interceptor computer out of a junkyard. When the old Crown Vic interceptors bought the farm and went to the boneyard, they still have the same police computers in them.. I bought 1 bought at a junkyard years ago out of a 98 Crown vic and put it in my 99 grand marquis. Instantly instantly changed transmission shift patterns for the better, and removed the governor speed limiter.

@@Daize504that’s for a different reason then. Rear end ratio denotes how many driveshaft rotations it takes to rotate your wheels once. 4.10 gears means your driveshaft rotates 4.1 times before your wheels rotate once. 3.27 means your driveshaft rotates 3.27 times per wheel rotation. The driveshaft speed never changes relative to the engine at a set gear, in this case 4th gear cause we are discussing top speed, so if you want higher top speed without power or rpm modifications, you change rear end rstio. It’s like how mountain bikes have 21 speeds, and if you pick a really small gear, you can pedal super fast but you don’t go very quickly, and if you pick a big gear it’s really hard to pedal but you can go super fast
@@hotrodlincoln7186will give you much easier burnouts and stuff, I’d recommend also limited slip diff, you can get one from a p71. Your top speed will be a little lower cause of the gear ratio but it shouldn’t matter too much, and your car will take off a little harder
I didn't think u can use the Marty tune and the cam shift together. They both plug into the same port. So how do u get them to work together or is it just one or the other??
You misunderstand how a tune works. The device you use to tune your pcm wipes the old tune, and applies the new one. The pcm is then tuned, and will run that way with or without that device.
I'll keep my grand marquis 2005 bone stick. 93 Oct is like 1 dollar per gallon more? No thank you. I've had fast cars 5.0 coyote s, z 28 Camero, Etc etc.......this car is a luxo couch on wheels. Love it..
That stupid paddle shift mod is useless. It's not about shifting your own gears, it's about having a single gear putting power directly to the wheels instead of planetary gear sets and a torque converter
this guy lost all credibility when he said the KN filter was better because it was half as thick... ITS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT MATERIAL has nothing to do with thickness..
So if I want to get canshift and Marty tune at the same time. Should I tell Marty not to mess with the transmission tune? I’m basically asking if the canshift will handle all the transmission tuning work?
i used to say the same until i saw one go up against a marty tuned vic. the marty tuned vic won that race on two identical p71s head to head....thats what sold me
Jesus, I come from the VW world. Im picking up a mint 1997 merc tomorrow. These mod prices are MUCH cheaper than what im used to. Im certainly doing a 5 speed swap.

But I have a simple observation I wish you mention the names of the site on the Internet from which you bought the modification pieces so that we can buy My regards to you and accept my passing by 🌹🌹
Marty can tune to your desire specs you want. But for e85 would more likely need to be 05+ since they have the specific requirements to run e 85 without mess up your vehicle unless you got the kit to make it e85
I heard the PI cannot handle the K&N filter due to tuning....also it gets oil on the MAF....how long have you had this and any issues? these vids are entertaining but many times do not give true reviews for lack of performance time to ensure actual quality
Some cars need a tune with the k&n and some don’t..I’ve run k&n filters for decades and over a million combined miles and have never had any issue with any “oil” on the maf..sounds like user error to me 🤷♂️
Mmmm, I believe the jms Pedalmax is alot better then the canshift. The jms pedalmax doesn't increase hp or tq. But, it allows you to access full power of your car on tap. The only draw back is if you have a heavy foot like me you'll only be getting like 8 to 14 mpg aka smg.
$400 manual swap ?? in what world is this possible ? you need to buy the pedals you need to buy the transmission and the fluid as well as the correct length drive shaft and a flywheels and clutch set .. my centerforce clutch kit alone cost $350 add an extra $100 for a new flywheel and that is already $450 ?? and that is not even taking into consideration that 95% of all used manual transmissions you get have the 2nd and 3rd gear synchros all buggered up and the tranny needs to be rebuilt. to get a decent 5 speed manual you need to buy the car that it is in as well

Remember that if you use a K&N filter you need to clean your mass air flow sensor periodically because the oil from the filter loves to stick to the sensor's guts. When you clean and oil the filter, be sure you do NOT over oil! You will have MAF issues and possibly a CEL if you do!
thanks
That is what I've heard. That is why I haven't done it. I believe you may get a little bit better throttle response, bit not any noticable hp gains. To me, the cost and negative effects are just not worth what little benefit there may be.
@@jasoncooper3116 It takes like 2 minutes to clean the MAF, and K&N recommends cleaning/re-oiling every 50,000 miles. I clean my MAF once a year, so it's not exactly a soul crushing amount of maintenance.
My butt dyno approves of the K&N. Besides, what else can you drop $50 on, install in 30 seconds, and get a tangible performance increase?
I cut some holes in the bottom of my air box. Let's in a ton more air!
@@rduonnolo Errgh... the little tube that sticks out of the bottom corner of the air box is a crucial design feature because it pulls air from behind the headlight assembly where the air is significantly cooler than the air inside the engine bay. Cooler air is more dense (thus more richly populated with oxygen) than the warm/hot air created by the heat from the engine and exhaust system.
It is a true 'cold air intake' straight from the factory.
Only so much air can pass through the intake tube and throttle body because of inherent size and flow capabilities baked into Ford's design. The easiest way to enhance performance without increasing air volume is to increase the oxygen saturation of the air going into the intake manifold is to simply reduce the temperature of the air to take advantage of the more oxygen dense property of the cooler air.
You have undoubtedly altered the sound of the engine, but I would be very surprised if there is a legitimate performance improvement from cutting holes in your intake inside the engine bay.
Soooo i have the Marty 93 octane which was $525. I have 4.10 gears set up $150 for the actual part , $1200 to install .......

Absolutely same care except gears and intake I ordered a used tuner and a cvpi intake now I’m find a way to get a trac loc and 4.10 gears and when it’s done ima get my custome tune from Marty
Any chance we can get some dyno numbers showing which of these mods ACTUALLY increase performance?
This guy probably doesn’t even know what a dyno is 😂🤣
U forgot about the rear bumper tie up to decrease drag.
Im interested can you explain..?
@@TaylorMadejdm1975 Mr random he said if you tie the rear bumper it will decrease drag more aerodynamic system under car you should check him out bro Mr random
Holden It’s called a “bumper zip tie” mod and you can find it on forums relating to these cars
As for the 4.10 gears, I looked into replacing my 4R70W instead of just putting a rebuild kit into it, but...
If I drop a 6R80 in to replace it, I get a much lower first gear, with closer spaced ratios all the way to a .69:1 6th gear, so I still have overdrive for low-rev highway work. It costs a lot more, but at least I don't have to worry about my warranty expiring!
Would do to upgrade it to a 3.73 rear gears with E-Locker from a newer F-150 with a 5.0L with a 10 speed auto.
I’ve actually priced both options out, for the trans, controller, wiring harness, driveshaft, ujoints, tuner and credits for a 6r80 swap vs the 5 speed and everything involved with that, it’s about the same price. But, the 6r80 definitely be quicker.
Choosing the right cam and headers will get you more power for less money than this list. +20 for a tune on a V8 engine isn't that great. The secret to cheap speed has always been weight reduction and gearing. I could easily get this car down to 3,000 lbs without even trying. Add some 4:10 gears, you'll have a much much quicker car that handles a ton better and stops alot better too. K&N filters suck, you need an actual Cold air intake to benefit from anything like that.
How much for Cam/Headers do you think?.....Cheers
How u get rid of weight without taking away interiors looks?
@@phenom4023 remove the sound deadening and insulation under the carpet. Then ditch the spare tire and jack. Could replace the front seats with lightweight racing seats. That's about it for the interior without making it look bad. The real weight reduction is under the car and the hood, along with fiberglass front clip. My first weight reduction mod on any car is a/c delete and sometimes power steering delete. On some cars you'll even gain a few horsepower that way, but not always. Lighter wheels are a huge benefit too, if you are willing to spend the money. I'm just scratching the surface here since there's alot of weight reduction tricks you can do without making your car look bad. It's basically free horsepower and it improves the life of your engine too because you are moving less weight. The key is to figure out what you want to do with the car and how far you want to go with it.
Dude, you are so off. You could get it to 3k lbs, huh? Even if you removed the entire engine it would still weigh over 3k. These cars weigh 4,100 lbs, boss, taking a spare out and putting lightweight wheels is moot point. And 20 hp for a tune isn’t a lot? Dude, what are you talking about? That is great for a horsepower:price ratio. “K&N filters suck, you need a cold air intake.” The crown Vic comes with a cold air induction box already. A k&n filter would flow much better than a paper filter. You just seem to be talking without any real data about these cars.
@@Whats-It-To-Ya even a fully race prepped one of these cars still weighs over 3500 lbs lmao
Cmon now Mr random I love your videos but your not getting 8-10 hp gains off deleting a muffler or even the cats. After you delete them even with a tune to take care of that exhaust delete maybe half a hp. I don’t think people realize how much of a difference u feel at 2-5 hp let alone 10
I bet you do get 8-10. Factory exhaust was a lot more restrictive back then
Yeah that's very hopeful gains and I believe he said rear mufflers one time then rear cats another. Then there's resonators on a civilian will gain about nothing but sound.
Who am I Today? No not really 😂🤣

The tr3650 IS a tremec 5 speed. Also if you think you are going to do a tr3650 swap for $400 you are insane. Short of finding a wrecked Mustang GT in the junkyard and only using the parts off of that car, the swap is going to run the average person closer to $1,000 if you do it yourself and install a new clutch set. Don't forget that you're going to need some serious fabrication knowledge.
I'm no rocket appliance, and I figured it out.
But, Yea, your right, costs way more than $400

FYI do NOT put the K&N in any car. It let's all kind of small and big particles (dirt, dust, ect...) it is proven to be lighter and let more air in for a reason.

Check state laws 1st before taking your mufflers out if you drive this car on the street, also muffler delete does cost very little if you have the garage, tools, torches, welders need to do the job, unless you have aftermarket ones on it that's easy to take the hinges off.

Pros/Cons of Marty tune vs 30$ Interceptor PCM swap?
Marty=unlimited tuning, stock interceptor pcm= SLIGHTLY better STOCK performance..it’s pretty clear..the ONLY pro to an interceptor pcm is the price but when it comes to mods, you get what you pay for 🤷♂️
I would argue reliability. The ultimate value of these cars, and why there’s so many still around, and why they’re so cheap, is reliability. Cops could ABUSE these cars for just years and then sell ‘em off for $900 so some Donut fan could grab it and beat the wheels off of it for 5-6 more years, only to turn around and sell it for $2k to someone who just needs a ride to work for the next ten years. Not only will it last, it will last while you beat the snot out of it.
Make it go a little faster, might make it break faster.
Meanwhile, the car is predictable due to a perfect weight balance and all that. So, the fact that the car is predictable means that you see very little diminishment to returns for developed skill. You could get WAY faster in this car just DRIVING it, than trying to squeeze hp out of it.
My 2011ffv p7b has an e85 Marty tune with 23lb injectors, ford performance fuel rails and intake, the k&n drop in, 3.21 to 3.55 lsd swap, upgraded fuel pump, custom built lightened aluminum driveshaft, shift kit with a trans rebuild, Marty also adjusted the shift points after the trans was back in. Smaller pulleys with a spare belt to swap to when I want to have the most of it on the pedal.

Why doesn’t canshift work pre 2005? What parts are needed to make that work
I have a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis LS and it is a great car. The first modification I have made was changing my headlights to Fahren LED's.

My next addition is putting in an Amsoil remote bypass oil filter.
Gotta love the delusional Mr. Random for the entertainment value of the futile efforts to spend money and time to remake a Panther into something that is still slower than a stock Mustang.

Install the gears yourself and you will need some special tools and if you goof it then the gears will not last. Five speed swap for $400, again on what planet.

No it doesn't. It raises it. I have 3.27 and cannot get over 110
@@Daize504that’s for a different reason then. Rear end ratio denotes how many driveshaft rotations it takes to rotate your wheels once. 4.10 gears means your driveshaft rotates 4.1 times before your wheels rotate once. 3.27 means your driveshaft rotates 3.27 times per wheel rotation. The driveshaft speed never changes relative to the engine at a set gear, in this case 4th gear cause we are discussing top speed, so if you want higher top speed without power or rpm modifications, you change rear end rstio.

In what world are 4.10 gears $200? Maybe for the part, but getting it done is a whole different story and way above my pay grade.
Ineed help I changed my thermostat and radiator now my day temperature gauge is going up and and down what dew u think it is 🤔
I was just looking at 6 liter caprice fro 07 to 2017 man nice caprice but they got a sweet under the back turbo kits for the crown vics
Where?
I didn't think u can use the Marty tune and the cam shift together. They both plug into the same port. So how do u get them to work together or is it just one or the other??
You misunderstand how a tune works. The device you use to tune your pcm wipes the old tune, and applies the new one. The pcm is then tuned, and will run that way with or without that device.
I'll keep my grand marquis 2005 bone stick. 93 Oct is like 1 dollar per gallon more? No thank you. I've had fast cars 5.0 coyote s, z 28 Camero,
Etc etc.......this car is a luxo couch on wheels. Love it..
That stupid paddle shift mod is useless. It's not about shifting your own gears, it's about having a single gear putting power directly to the wheels instead of planetary gear sets and a torque converter
this guy lost all credibility when he said the KN filter was better because it was half as thick... ITS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT MATERIAL has nothing to do with thickness..
Where you get that front bumper?
So if I want to get canshift and Marty tune at the same time. Should I tell Marty not to mess with the transmission tune? I’m basically asking if the canshift will handle all the transmission tuning work?
What is the canshift please more details
@@issaissa2803 watch the video??
I like the bumper cover on the white one.
Well, with gas prices at $4+, I don't want to have to run 93 octane. My stock 2009 P71 is quick enough for me.
Damn if I only knew it only cost 400 bucks for a Manuel swap smh everything this dude said was practically bullshit
Sct tuner $340 does engine tune and tranny shift points no tune shop required . Love mine
i used to say the same until i saw one go up against a marty tuned vic. the marty tuned vic won that race on two identical p71s head to head....thats what sold me
How come 06+ without transmission marty tune? i have 08 p71
muffler delete is illigal in my province :(
Another popular mod in Dallas tx is to have your throttle body n intake (new intakes only for crown Vic’s) ported , both together is like 500
Can like get real good throttle response n hp gains can be from 15-20
Whats wrong with the Marty transmission tune? & only the engine tune can be chose to be ran?
5 HP gain with filter swap. I don’t know about that.
I'd love to find a shop that will do a manual tranny shop for $1k. More like 3k
Just drop in a 351 Cleveland with headers.
Jesus, I come from the VW world. Im picking up a mint 1997 merc tomorrow. These mod prices are MUCH cheaper than what im used to. Im certainly doing a 5 speed swap.
"Nothing will cost over $500" also ""switch to 5 speed transmission, $1000."
OK, I trust you.
Hi brother
Thank you for the beautiful Video which taught us many things
I am following you from the kingdom of Saudi Arabia
.
But I have a simple observation
I wish you mention the names of the site on the Internet from which you bought the modification pieces so that we can buy
My regards to you and accept my passing by 🌹🌹
Is 93 pump gas required for the Marty Tune ? Or is that just the name of the tune? And would it work on a 99 Marq?
It can be for 87, 89, and 93 octane I believe. Not certain about e85 but maybe that too
@@sethcrowther1868 He does e85 tunes.
@@TheJimmyBuffalo oh I thought you’d have to change fuel pumps or something for that
All 2008+ were flex fuel (e85) ready from factory
Marty can tune to your desire specs you want. But for e85 would more likely need to be 05+ since they have the specific requirements to run e 85 without mess up your vehicle unless you got the kit to make it e85
I would LOVE to know a shop that would do a manual swap for 1k, hell even 2k I'd be happy
I heard the PI cannot handle the K&N filter due to tuning....also it gets oil on the MAF....how long have you had this and any issues? these vids are entertaining but many times do not give true reviews for lack of performance time to ensure actual quality
Some cars need a tune with the k&n and some don’t..I’ve run k&n filters for decades and over a million combined miles and have never had any issue with any “oil” on the maf..sounds like user error to me 🤷♂️
can use a K N cold air intake on my 009 cv 4.6 thanks
Mmmm, I believe the jms Pedalmax is alot better then the canshift. The jms pedalmax doesn't increase hp or tq. But, it allows you to access full power of your car on tap. The only draw back is if you have a heavy foot like me you'll only be getting like 8 to 14 mpg aka smg.
I really want that front bumper too
what kind of aftermarket valve Cover set can u put on 2006 Crown Victoria Engine
where can i get one of those front bumbers?
$400 manual swap ?? in what world is this possible ? you need to buy the pedals you need to buy the transmission and the fluid as well as the correct length drive shaft and a flywheels and clutch set .. my centerforce clutch kit alone cost $350 add an extra $100 for a new flywheel and that is already $450 ?? and that is not even taking into consideration that 95% of all used manual transmissions you get have the 2nd and 3rd gear synchros all buggered up and the tranny needs to be rebuilt. to get a decent 5 speed manual you need to buy the car that it is in as well
oh and this is coming from a professional mechanic not a novice u tuber making a bullshit video
I feel dumber watching you ruin your cars
I got a 1997 Mercury Grand Marquis & so far I installed a Throttle Body Spacer & I can feel more horsepower.
Getting the can shift for my 06 merc. Hey checkout my mercurys new dual catback steelpacks 2" duals. Best 4.6 2v you've ever heard. 3" rolled tips too. Seriously puts all your 4.6 sounds to shame. I subd all love. I'd love if you threw my clips in your vids..I think they fit right in. Did em 2yrs ago just scroll a bit theres like 5 sick sounding clips
They sound good
If you remove that air box extension that stick out into headlight area will change the tone of the car and helps.
Do any of these work for 2004 crown victoria lx
