I picked up a daystar level kit for about $90 from Jegs I think. I changed out the shocks to skyjackers and got a set of 33" tires. I am very happy.
The level kit is just a 2'' spacer that goes under the coil spring. I think skyjacker has an actual longer spring that you can get instead of needing a spacer, and it is also red and I thought that was quite neat too.

Do you have a pic of your truck with the leveling kit and 33's?

I know that several users on this site are running the rough country springs, and they like them. I would go with one of the bigger names. I had the Superlift ones and they work fine. They were about 100 bucks.

I'm gonna take a stab and say 302's in both. 351 crown vics are really hard to find. I shopped for one for awhile and never found one that was in decent shape in my price range.

The police cars were all 351's and i think carbed also. According to autozone.com only 7% of crown vics in 1985 were 5.8's

Not all police interceptors were 351's, I don't think? I'm pretty sure later Crown Vic police models had the option of the bigger or smaller modular engine, so I presume that was an option in the older ones.
Of course, it's not an issue anymore... they've got glorified SHO's coming out of the closet soon.

I believe right around 90ish they switched over the Holley carbs because of problems with the old carbs. That's what I really want, a 91 interceptor with the 351. sweetness
