Re: Crown Vic IFS Install
So since I could not find any local help or someone willing to tackle the for and be paid for it in the Northern VA area. I decided to tackle this myself, and or course with the help of this forum. So I located a IFS from a 2005 and the guy has already removed if form the car. Only thing is that the rack pinion is missing. He sold it before I contacted. He only wants $70 for it. Do guys think its a big deal that rack is missing. I am thinking that I can grab one for cheap from a pick and pull

Re: Crown Vic IFS Install
Even if you spend a couple hundred for the rack and pinion assembly it's still a good deal.

71fordkid if you could get your hands on that information for me that would be great. I read out of the install from here but have not seen that

Re: Crown Vic IFS Install
Sounds interesting. How many choices do you have for the engine with that setup?

Re: Crown Vic IFS Install
anything you want. usualy Egmfcliff (or something like that) would have chimed in by now. he has a 460 in his with a CV IFS. ive seen diesels, the 4.6 and 5.4 engines bolt right up (vics come with a 4.6 from the factory, 5.4 uses the same mounts. for other engines, as long as you can figure out how to build your mounts, you can put it in. I'm planning a 6.8L triton v10 in my stepside when i have the money and time to.

theres the link to the thread with the measurements, thanks to "flyboy71". its on page 2. they helped me a TON as i didnt keep the front end sheet metal or the cab in place on my truck when i was doing this. (had to repair a cab mount and do some frame repair at the same time)

Re: Crown Vic IFS Install
71Fordkid what is the minium that you need to remove to complete this conversion. Is it just the engine?

Re: Crown Vic IFS Install
not even the engine. you just suspend the engine with a cherry picker or something, remove the motor mounts, and cut the crossmember out. its a bit more of a pain in the arse, but you can do it.
