The simplist upgrades would be a drop-in K&N air filter and Bilstein shocks.

How much time and money? An HO conversion is a good place to start, you can do close to a 90% HO build up on your current 5.0. But the best solution would be a rebuilt HO. You can get a 215hp HO complete and rebuilt for about 2,000. Add in installation if you have someone else do it, and a few cheap bolt on mods and you can have close to (or over if you put 5k in it) 300HP for roughly 3,500-5000.

Yes, getting a Police Package on your Crown Victoria would be awesome.

Post Invested $17,564 in my Crown Vic!

I don't know if anyone really cares anymore about who's driving some big, tank-sized Crown Vic down the streets of Panama City Beach, but I'll be the first to tell you - - - I DO! Hell, why would I have invested over $10K in my 91 model if I thought it was a waste of time? Anyway, I'll tell you what I did when I get back from a car show in L.A. Hope I place at least 3rd.

I wouldn't pull up to me next to a red light because, what you may not be aware of, is my Crown Vic doesn't have the 302...it has the 5.0L HO. So, think about that before nailing the trottle!

Re: upgrades

I like fords. I like crown vics, Love em. BUTTTTT- I have a 95 chev caprice police package. It had the corvette engine in it. It would eat anything up, and I didnt have the tuning & tweaking done yet.

Unofortunately someone loved it more than I did, and stole it from me!! that was 2 years ago, still not found. I love fords & CV`s, but I would give anything to get my caprice back.
