i know this has been gone over before but i forgot

[Paul_]

i did do a thorough search here and on cvn. for some reason i could not dig up anything

will the hood from a 1988-91 Grand Marquis fit onto an 88-91 Crown Vic. i know they won't on the older boxes, but i was curious bout the newer ones. they look identical.

Now why would you do a thing like that?

Take some measurements...it might work.

functional cowl induction(down the road when i throw another motor in there

i'm putting one of these fuckers in there

This 351ci small block will give your ride the power it needs! The GT-40 351ci engine features Ford Racings high flowing GT-40 aluminum cylinder heads with 1.94'' intake and 1.54'' exhaust valves, GT-40 valve train with hydraulic roller camshaft and roller rocker arms. The engine also includes a single plane Victor Jr. intake manifold, heavy duty 5.8L ''Sportsman II'' race block with 2-bolt main caps, 9.0:1 compression, oil and water pumps, dual sump oil pan, steel billet flywheel and a high performance harmonic balancer. With 385 HP @ 5500 RPM (with headers and a 780 cfm Holley carb, not included) and 377 ft/lbs of torque @ 4500 RPM, this engine is great for any kit car, street rod, Mustang, FOX body car, or truck. Depending on your application the timing cover, water pump, performance oil pan and pick-up may be required. This engine is great for limited budget projects. It's a fast, easy way to add performance in high or low mileage vehicles.

either that or i'll get a sefi 5.8 out of a truck. should fit with a cowl

[Grand Marquis GT]

for the first month or so, im gonna go WITHOUT a hood, muhahaha

[Paul_]

only prob i forsee is whether that block will mate up to an aod. i theoretically could go with a c-6. don't really do whole shitload of highway driving, and it would be one less band to burn out. fuel economy isn't really a concern either. if it was i'd be driving something a tad smaller

[Grand Marquis GT]

dude...

an AOD will bolt to it.

[Paul_]

wasn't there a difference between the 351 blocks at some point tho(windsor vs cleveland)

i'm am not as well versed in the 351 as say the 5.0 or the 4.0

[Grand Marquis GT]

I belive a cleaveland will bolt up too.

[Paul_]

if it will bolt to the aod, and with the mods i plan on making to the tranny i'll be fucking flying,lol




the k-code helps a bit

[Grand Marquis GT]

yeah I plan on getting one of those...K-codes, that is.

[Lincolnmania]

come to k code land........no 351 police cars araund anymore though..............the 351w, 351c 302, 289, 3.8 v6, 2.3 ohc all use the small block bellhousing. hood clearance should be fine guys as long as u use a carb

thats def. good info to know, tho i have no intention of making an SVO crown vic,lol **cough** 2.3turbo **cough**

[Cogs]

Yes, it will work. They are the same hoods. I believe the older grand marqs hood will work too. Just not the 87 and earlier Vic.

[Lincolnmania]

ooh a svo vic.........dont laugh you gan easilly get 400+ hp out of a turbo intercooled 2.3..............i used to have a 84 mustang svo
