Look on a facebook page called 53-56 F100 Crown Vic suspension swap. some people on that page have done the swap. They sell a kit to do the swap search it up. I don't remember the site that sells it.

Either or will work depending on your budget. With the Crown vic IFS you would have to run a mustang type of wheel in front. A +offset like a 35mm and a 16 inch wheel or greater. A mustang II suspension the variety off wheels is a lot more options.

Pleanty of Folks have installed the IRS and 4.6 in all configurations 2V, 3V & 4V in their trucks. If you use a 03-11 Crown Vic Independent Front Suspension (IFS) the 4.6 engine will bolt into the Cradle. OBTW any Panther Platform Vehicle's cradle will work. The hard part is the electronics. But again, several have sucessfully accomplished thew install.
