engines themselves should be the same. the crown vic has a not as free flowing exhaust and more conservative tune which accounts for the factory rater power difference. 260 in the mustang vs 239 in the vic.

Heads and intake are the same, you can reverse the upper plenum. Camshafts are different, hence, like stated above, hp rating is lower.
