This may already be on the site somewhere - if so forgive my lack of navigation skills - but it would be really helpful to dufuses (dufii?) like me if there were clear pictures/diagrams of the Ford 5.0 engine with appropriate labelling. Perhaps it could also include a short note explaining what each component does and approx cost of replacement/repair etc. I have the Haynes manual but this would be really useful to have right on the site I think. Is it worthwhile?

It would sure help me out. I have very little car smarts, let alone specific Crown Vic experience. Part of the reason I chose to drive a CV was because it seemed like a reasonable car to learn some DIY mechanics. However, because my car is my daily driver, I can't risk fecking something up. Having a feature like the one I suggested would help me get a handle on the basics and stop me looking like a dumbass when I do have to take my car to a shop. Kind of a Crown Vic Guide for Dummies.
