93 Crown Vic 4.6 exchange

If you could do just the shortblock and reuse your top end, go to ModularDepot and PM HyperGT. 70k mile shortblock for $400. Don't think you can beat that

just to let you know that the crown vic and the police interceptor motors are identical.

I have have 2 crown vics...1 with the police interceptor package, rear gear and tranny cooler. basically thats it. But I have swapped out 3 motor in them. Those things are plaqued with smoking bad!! looks like your smoking mosquitoes for the city! There is a difference in starter motors and alternators on them. I think that has to do with the electronics. One of mine has digital dash, air ride, power everything, it has the beefier starter and alt. I would say save your money and just drive the thing! we have not had much luck swapping motors to cure the smoke... just buy oil in bulk.
