It begins:
Here's my 05 crown vic front suspension, those who've done the swap, anything missing?



This is a shot of the power steering hookups:

Brake and line:



Steering connection:

 

Also picked up a e303 cam for $60 in a close out deal from summit racing.

 

Ahh what a surprise a crown Vic conversion what else is in store for the build?

 

C'mon now... here's a guy willing to share his project and yer gonna refer to his endeavor as "lame"? Guys earn street cred for doing the work themselves instead of paying someone to do it for him.

Proceed Mr. Brock Grimes... FTE will be here to help when ye get stuck.

Subscribed.

An E303? That means small block.

 

If you can find a cheaper, easier, better handling front suspension I'm listening.

Yup got a 5.0 in it now. Figure it works for now and at $60, I couldn't pass it up. Plus if I swap to a 4.6 3v or a terminator the 5.0 can go in something else, hmm.

 

The truck:

 

 

good looking truck. Will be following along.

 

It'll be slow as I gather parts. I just moved so getting settled, work, etc. But once I start tearing parts off it'll go faster, lol.

 

Take your time and do it right.

 

Welcome to FTE!
E303? What year 302 block ya got? E303 is a roller lifter cam.

 

FYI... the aftermarket offers parts to retrofit kit (spider, hardware, etc.) for early SBFs.

 

True story. So does Ford Racing Performace Parts (FRPP). AKA Ford Motorsports.
M6253A50....roller cam conversion kit.
M6500T58....roller lifters for "non-roller" blocks

 

I'm told the motor came out of a 94-96 bronco.
Has iron heads (not gt40/p) which will go away when I build the engine.
I'm considering a 351. In the parts book from ford racing is says:
Also fits 1994-1997 351W with factory roller cam when used with mass air EFI.
I picked up the cam super cheap and couldn't pass up the deal.

Still debating the engine but I'm swapping in a 4r70w/4r75w for sure.
Time and cash will tell.
