Frame and front cap
Hey fellas I got a buddy that's got an old crown Vic he got from an auction was thinking about getting it from him for the front clip engine and tranny to put on my 54 f-100. Has anyone else attempted this? My brother took the front clip off of a tbird and welded the frames but I need some thoughts maybe pros cons on the crown Vic idea

Bama - you may want to do an Advanced Search on this forum. CVs have been donors - I'm not at all familiar with the technical elements. The search feature menu is on the right side of the blue bar running across the page. Good Luck.

What year CV? 
2003 and up front cradle will be mainly a bolt in. Earlier models will need to be grafted on your frame.
Engine and Trans will need the CV wiring harness and ECM. Lots of work but cheap
OBTW Take the rear end (could be disc brakes and limited slip) and drive shaft while your at it.
