85.03 Crown Vic Coupe "CVGT"

You are rather unique, Logan.

You're making me blush, Dave.

I'd go for a twin turbo setup myself if I could afford a swap. I'd prefer to start with a better condition car though (referring to the box).

Since when isn't my car in good condition? Those are fighting words, sir.
SBFs are boring.

Overall update on box:
- Still leaks oil from the front crank seal. (I have the seal kit for the whole front of the engine, maybe I'll just do everything again just because..)
- Front shocks blow ass. I don't remember if they're police Gas-Adjusts or stocker replacement. Probably stocker. Rides like a boat.
- Really need rear coils, It's got rake on level ground, strictly from the 1" tire size difference front to back. Sacks when there's more weight in one side of the trunk than the other.
- Tire wear from drive tire to non drive tire has started to become noticeable.
- Transmission is in overall good shape, other than missing reverse.
- Tears on drivers seat are starting to piss me off.
- Vinyl top discoloration is becoming apparent.
- Engine still healthy as always, still makes steam and rumbles pretty good. Too bad it's a boring small block.
- Clutch is pretty toast, doesn't like to fully engage. I'm assuming since what happened at SF, my flywheel is glazed. Oh-well.

That's all I guess..

He's referring to his car, not yours.

When you say it's a boring small block, I hope you mean in concept. Being a mild 351 it should be pretty fun to drive. My stock lopo isn't boring to drive, at least not to me. I always enjoy listening to the stock duals without mufflers, I get a lot of looks from people when I hit the gas, probably because it's otherwise bone stock down to the grandpa white-stripe tires, nobody expects it. I just hope people don't think it has a leaky exhaust, my ear is more trained to car sounds so I can tell it's got tone over just a loud leaky system.

Looks like a sweet ride. I bet it sounds great w/the X pipe.
The Tri-Ax is probably the best shifter I've had. I've got the one that came out of the Yellow Capri when I put the TKO in. It will probably end up in Mean Mr. Mustard instead of the Hurst @ some point.

This... My car is rather beat up.

I'm still waiting for someone to do a turbo 300 swap. 351C would also be interesting, and I can even lay my hands on one, but I don't feel like dealing with carbs or accessory brackets.

Not a panther but a really neat budget built turbo 300.

nice. Lots of plumbing on that one though.

I'm on a low carb diet, thanks.

Pretty badass...

A 300 that would take almost anyone here's V8 to school.

Well. Looks like things will be taking a turn for the box.

It will not be receiving the limited slip I just bought for it, gears or diff girdle. It will also be losing all of its drive train and frame. If anyone is interested in anything, be my guest to PM me. Won't be taken apart immediately, until I fix the Mustang. But it is planned within the coming months. Looks like I'm going to be looking for an 03-04 whale Vic, too.

Tom called dibs on the Cam and pan kit.

I will be needing a box dashboard though. 79-87 style, doesn't matter what color.

I think the modbox bug is contagious.

[Bobcat]

Here. I'll show some current pictures of the ole' girl.

I may be interested in the EGR spacer, and various ignition parts to have as backups

So I hear the 351 is staying...
