PI heads

[lsccolt]

I had always thought that the PI head came on the 1999 and up 4.6. I recently heard that the Crown Vic did not get them until 2001. I just bought a 2000 CV P71 and wanted to confirm what I heard was correct. Also what would be a decent price for a complete 4.6, there a couple for sale on Craigslist but am unaware of how much is a good price for an engine if I planned on doing a rebuild on one.

Thanks

yes, Mustangs got them in 99 and Panther chassis cars got them in 2001.


Engine value will depend largely on year, mileage, if they can be seen running or have a compression test done, etc.

We just picked up a low mileage PI motor from a 03 TownCar for about 700 bucks. 03+ would be best since it has the updated intake manifold that doesn't spring coolant everywhere...
