Pic request: 80s model vic/mercury race cars

[watchurstep]

Looking for crown victoria/mercury race cars....has anyone every seen one?

If not got a good question: how much power do you think it would take to make a 80s model fast and respected. What mods would you do and keep in mind streetable at the end of the day.

[Joe Walsh]

I've got an '89 box Vic with the 5.0 fuelie engine.
It isn't that quick with it's 2.73 rear gear.
If I was going to mod it, which I'm not because I've got other project cars I want to mod,
I would do 1 of 3 things in addition to putting in a 3.27 posi rear:

1: Do the usual list of 5.0 bolt-on mods
2: Drop in an FRPP 340hp aluminum head 5.0 crate motor
3: Drop in a mildly built 351W

If you want to do some mods on the cheap. Make it a H.O. (U&L intake,roller rocker's,351 firing order). Electric fan from a 96~98 T-Bird, B303 cam, UDP's, LT's and 2.5 H pipe.

The 88-91 Vic is such an awesome car; my old man had an 88. I will never forget how much I loved it. My parents got a second hand Continental in 01 and donated the vic which had close to 300k on the clock.

Marianne's daily driver so...Nope...stock s.s. tips....and 250 hp stock.

I hate to say it, but it runs 0-60 in 5.7 secs and the 1/4 in 14.2 secs...
I'm glad that my Marauder is modded because the Subie would smoke a stock Marauder....bad.:o

You need to import the Cosworth Impreza for her Joe Walsh...395hp and 400tq. It will stomp most modded MM's :beer:

How do you make an 80s box faster and compliant to California Air Resources Board? Boo hoo.
