Thinking about purchasing a 00 Crown vic this weekend - may need new engine - but the body is in great condition - and so is the interior.

Guy wants $500 for it all - so I'm thinking about buying it and swapping the engine.

I may just rebuild it, but I need to knwo what engines I can put in it.

Of course I can get another 4.6 to throw in there, but what would I need to put a 302 or something in there?

It would be alot of work even if you went with a carb set up

First of all it would not be legal for the street because of EPA and it would be an expensive/ time consuming wiring night mare. Bye any 2001 4.6 and up PI ( performance Improved ) engine and bolt it in. Make sure you use your P71 trans flex plate because its different then stock .
