Thought about a CV swap years ago but, the CV I bought was too nice to part.
Everything but the rearend motor tranny and driveshaft is crown vic. The front end and frame is crown vic. Didnt cut frame either. Made the bed a little longer instead.

Welcome , looks like you got allot accomplished already and looking good . I understood the cv front was a bit too wide although yours looks ok . I do agree on the rear though .

I know Arkansas is a big state but if any of you guys live in or near Jonesboro, I would like to get in touch with the previous owner of my current ride (53 Chevy Sport Coupe). I found an old Grundy insurance card in the car with the name Larry J. Ingram on it but have been unsuccessful locating him since only a PO box was on the card. If anyone out there knows Larry, I am sure he would like to know where his old 53 Chevy ended up and I would like to know more about the car I have owned for about 5 years now and have been looking for him ever since. I've attached a picture of what the car looked like when I bought it.

Being a Marauder owner, I'd like to see that big engine under the hood.

seeing that engine under that hood it looks small really. Got so much room. Much later down the road I thought I might supercharge it. That way down road though

Another AR boy here from just north of ElDorado, I too am glad to see another fat fender in the state. Here's a few of my toys.

I'm in Jonesboro, but I don't know Larry. I could ask around when our cruise-ins start in April. Good looking car!
