Oh sweeettt. The crown Vic has efans? I'm guessing they came with 4.6s? And interceptors came with 5.4s? Did the 5.4 crown Vic's have efans as well? I could use some efans..... Lol.

Lol sadly. And yeah I do. I'll start off with tear drop shackles so my *** end isn't sky high in the air like it currently feels like it is. Once I get some chrome 20" lightning wheels the whole truck will probably go a little bit lower again. But that all comes after I swap the 9.75" rear I have with drums to one with discs, then upgrade the front discs and calipers and all the other brake stuff. I want to have all 14mm wheel studs when I'm done. So basically pulling the front and rear off a say 03 f150 (rear 9.75" ) and 02 expy (discs (2wd hubs) ) then get some better calipers with the metal Pistons. I'll probably also need to upgrade the brake booster to one out of a 03 or so as well since they're made to handle the extra braking of the rear discs. And idk what I might have to do about ABS, hopefully nothing. Currently only have front wheel ABS.

If they're cleaned up real good and fully put together ready to go on and you're selling them for a good price we may be able to work something out given my dads permission on the matter lol since it's still his truck......for now

I forget who it was,think it was ford motorsports,said ebay has new heads from ford for $840. Going to look at my options and see what looks best. I'd like something that flows better than stock,but that's not a requirement for now.

I looked pretty extensively for awhile and couldn't find cheaper than $899
There was some around $850, but that was with almost $200 shipping

Nope, all came with 4.6s. And the fans on em are pretty simple to rig up on our trucks. But when you do go to lower it, youll start to have major clearance issues after about 4 inches. Dont really wanna talk about how i know.. Lol

Some of the crown vics im looking at i can get running and driving for about $400 bucks, then once i get everything i need off of it i can part it out and get at least half my money back. Lol. But if that doesnt work out, then ill definitely keep that in mind. Thank you

Employee price at ford is $750 per head and the parts are $1200 to finish mine,so I'm just gonna get new heads and swap in my lash adjusters,cams and cam tower bolts.

Ahh okay. What alls required to hook up the efans on our trucks? Mind walking me through it? It's something I'd definitely be willing to do if weather permits and I can get the parts to do it. And you talking front or rear clearance?

I did the gotts mod today! I can't tell an immediate difference but I'll find out next time I fill up. Has anyone had really noticeable changes from the mod?

Maybe a little sound difference, that's what I noticed. If you have a complete good flowing system (including exhaust) then you might be able to tell a bit better. But idk
