Crew cab mustang

I had a 3650-swapped 2010 Grand Marquis with 2.5in X-pipe and straight-through mufflers. I... sorely miss it, but changing gears was a pain in my ass that I wasn't always up for, so here I am with my Town Car. I still bloody miss it, and sometimes I find myself reaching for the clutch with my left foot.

i got a ride in a Bondurant instructor car years and years back. First 5 spd crown vic i ever rode in. Wanted one ever since!

Thought about this for my Lincoln but half the problem knowing is the trans your swapping in any good. Lotta work to find out its one step up from a coffee grinder. Nice video Jay thanks for posting.

This is a great video. I like manual swapping. That machine used at 13:58 looks pretty cool. I wish I had one of those I can easily do the oil change without making a mess

Awesome job, would love to have that in my 2011 LX Sport.

When Bob Bondurant's racing school was sponsored by Ford back in the day, Bondurant had a black Crown Vicky with a natural 4.6 Cobra engine and 6 speed manual as a teacher's car. It was written about in one of the many motorhead magazines I used to get back in the day.

If my memory serves me correctly, Bondurant built a manual transmission 6.8 V-10 car as well

that crown Vic sounds so clean

I looked into getting a newer Charger and swapping it, but it was gonna be like 12k and it'd never run right. This sounds like a better option. Big shock. Heck Mopar.

Yessir you can have the same kinda fun in these things lol

I'm rather surprised with as many Panther bodied Fords, Lincolns and Mercs as there are out there that the aftermarket hasn't embraced a Tremec 5 speed and 6 speed conversion kit. I looked at the cross member and was thinking that that would be an integral part of a swap. They could also have a new center console support, a template on where to cut the shifter hole and a new console or a way to adapt a current console.

You’re welcome

How much would it cost for a shop to purchase parts and implement a 2001-2004 Mustang 5 speed manual transmission, retune computer, modify driveshaft (if needed) and add a clutch into my 2011 CVPI? I currently have my O/D gear going out and my torque converter also needs to be replaced. Cost is about $2,200 total to rebuild. Would you recommend I rebuild or swap? Thanks!

Nice I want to manual swap my marauder one day

What the left leg was always meant to do in the p71 😂

That actually looks like a blast! Great video brotha 🤙

Awesome I've been wanting to do this to my 2000 Crown Vic interceptor I got a 5-speed borgon Warner I want to put in it

This guy is a professional these mechanics a re getting scarce

I wish I had the knowhow and the tools to do this myself. It would save me a heap of money and I’d have a good daily driver that I’m not afraid to take on backroads with gravel and abysmal potholes. Guess I’ll just buckle up and spend the extra 3k to have it installed for me…

What kind of computer issues do you have to address ? Does it need a new computer, or reprogrammed or flashed , etc ? What other electrical issues will be encountered ? Great looking swap !

I'd imagine at the very least you would need to hardwire the interlock to let the engine start without a Park or neutral selection. Also to be able to remove your key afterwards. You could even rig that up to a new clutch switch. Maybe he did that in the vid and I missed it? Multitasking here...

T56 XL might fit better. The shifter is located further back on the tail of the trans.

Great work

Hey I have an 09 mercury grand marquis LS ultimate edition That I would love to swap

So nice. Too bad I live on the West Coast, I would totally do this to my CVPI.

Wow only took you 2 minutes to remove the transmission impressive
