The boss in the center of the block is for the knock sensor. I worked at the Romeo Engine Plant and worked on the line building 4.6L 2V and 4V as well as the Bullitt and 5.4L 4V Navigator engines for 18 years. Chances are 50/50 that I had my hands on all of those engines at some point. Best of luck with the Vic!

That's some really viable knowledge man, and that's so cool you worked building those motors!

The engine I got for my PI swap came from a 2007 Townie and it looks like it has 2 knock sensors, there's one wire sticking out from under the intake that I have nowhere to plug into in my 99 townie...And also the insulation around the plenum of the intake that is in the valley is cracking apart leaving hard chucks of foam rubber on my engine... Thinking of just replacing the insulation with a gold heat reflective foil...Not that I'd really see it, but it kinda makes sense to reflect heat from the intake...I don't care about intake sounds...I like engine noises anyways

Engine masters proved it doesn't change anything power wise if you smash up your headers

I would had replaced the timming set before i took it off the engine stand thats is what kills 90% of 2 valves

Dude I got the motor from did it already

I always love the montage music you use....

The weird tube locations is because they're equal length headers. They make the longest tube first which will be almost a straight shot, then they make the rest the same length, which means you have to add some bends that seem to go nowhere and have no function but their function is to add length

Damn I was hoping to hear it fire off!!

Needs the victor hr aluminum intake.

The non pi bottom end with pi heads will have more compression than a stock pi motor. Richard holdner did a great dyno video on a non pi/pi combo

I look forward to these videos by Craig. The build, hands dirty vids. 💪🏽

please show how snappy she is with the new flywheel, im building a drift mystic cobra. built engine with lightweight flywheel, the vic looks good man!

You had better go for the better Aluminium Intake or You will be sorry! And speaking of Sorry were is the Galaxie????

You do very nice work. That extra step is nice to see

Great video Craig!

Intercepter motors came with a bigger alternator and a metal intake

great stuff thanks

Cool to see the Vic get some work done! Excited to see the start up video. What’s the fuel management system?

In before the X pipe and Neighborhaters

The loaf of bread🤣. As a diabetic, I have one on standby for any lows that would hit me lol.

I think the Mustang headers are like that so the steering shaft can run through the middle of the header. My LS swap Foxbody headers I used in my 84 F150 are the same way.

Why'd you put a crappy ass engine in a bad ass Ford? Before you tell me the LS is a better engine, I'll remind you I wrench on a blown LS front engine dragster. The owner has nothing but problems with it, too.

Sorry but, that's the lazy way out going with an LS. Put it in a Camaro if you're a Chevy guy. My buddy builds race engines for a living. He knows what he's doing.

LMFAO 😂😂 Have you ever wrenched on a top fuel car as part of a team? No? Didn't think so. I currently do. I wouldn't be on the team if I was a dumb ass.

The cvpi alternator is a 400 amp unit, to run all the extra electronics in a police car.

I don't think you realize but this is the only video I have seen on KZread where someone fit mustang headers (longtube) on a crown vic (if I'm wrong show me the video) gonna order some mustang headers and get to smashing and cutting for my 99 crown vic

I have a 2011 Vic, may do the same. Probably find used Mustang headers on ebay instead of buying Vic headers. Now if I could just get pedals so I can 5 speed my Vic all would be good.

"It has new guides, I'll show you those....." goes on to never show them. 😂 Fun build though.

What was the super shine product you put on the intake manifold? Shop Supply Tire Shine?

What’s up with the f100 Qweg ?

Lightweight flywheel will really make it snappy

does every car guy have the explorer fold up chair? ive git one too lol

So swappin p.i stuff on mustang gt engine and when people look under hood ya its "stock"

Reminds me of when I had my Thunderbirds with PI swapped modular components. Yup, all stock. Haha. ;)

Has everything but the Victor jr aluminium intake manifold😏

The vid was great, but longer vids would be sick!

I know of an abandoned 2001 Mach 1 with a manual. The body is rusted but the 3v drivetrain and ram air intake has potential. I hate seeing it go to waste

Can we get more content on the bullnose please 🙏🏽

Twin disc clutch lol.

The headers actually look better that way

Get it some camshafts and a better intake

😎🏴‍☠️

Race car application, lol.

Ha! I was repairing a heater tube leak and decided that 33ok miles was enough on the original water pump. Put a new Motorcraft that was for a 3v engine and it has some sort of knock about it I can't figure out. Sometimes we do things to be pre-emptive and still get whacked.
