The 97-01 navigators are crazy cheap and I'll bet they are real comfortable but I'm guessing they're cop magnets so I'll drive slow if I get one. The 4.6 town car is probably the better choice in the long run, tons of interchangeable parts from the crowns and Marquis

I just replaced the control arms in my 04 Town car. I used Moog OE replacements. My 04 Marauder has those Heinous arms installed. The ride is firm and definitely feels more composed and planted. The 1 - 2 upshift breaks the tires loose now that there is no pinion angle deflection. I love the isolated feel of the OE suspension on the Town Car, though.

Forgive me I'm a new virgin on an old scene haha. Have a 1990 Lincoln Town car base model somebody told me it's a windsor 5.0 engine. and they're trying to convince me that I can get better gas mileage by upgrading from TDI distributor coil pack to a HEI setup. without taking it out of my daily driver I can't tell what part number I have whether I have a steel gear or what to even bother. Side note, the inside of the cap and the rotor bug do look like they're worn. I've sprayed them out with mass air flow sensor cleaner like electronics cleaner.

@mrelectron6220 4 жыл бұрын
Samkitts, adding pep to these cars or any for that matter is not a cheap endeavor. But some of the easiest are the installation of a pi intake on a non pi motor will add some HP at min cost if you have the single exhaust set up replace with the dual system those two will give you a noticeable increase. Also depending on your year getting a Pi air intake system from a 04 crown vic will add some HP along with the the air box and the 80mm maf. You can google this stuff and check out the results. Don't waste your $$ CAI with a cone the air boxes on these 04's will support 300HP thats more than your stock 4.6 is going to make even with the mentioned add ons. These are the cheapest ways there is also ripping your motor down and install a full PI top end which would net you about 60HP give or take but is not cheap or easy.

There is a throttle body from a e-series vans that's a 5mm step up from the stock throttle body size. Can buy them off of ebay for like $50-ish. The tc's are rated at 239 horse, and the e-series & others w/ the larger TB are rated at 250, and the TB is the only difference, so I assume a 5-10 hp increase if you got that, and a k&n air filter

Will I was running an aftermarket throttle body from an aftermarket drive by wire throttle body manufacturer. It was awesome when it worked right but was very problematic throwing wrench lights after about a year of use. I finally threw my hands up in the air and put the stock TB back on. I would be more inclined to have the factory TB enlarged and ported..

I have a question for you do you think with those upgrade you can take Corners as fast and well as a Crown Vic. I ask because I have a 92 Lincoln Town Car that I got sitting on a 2003 Lincoln Town Car chassis. it made it handles great. the way it is now I have the marauder front struts Springs. air ride in the back that alone was a huge improvement over the 92 suspension it used to ride on. I'm mainly asking does it change the characteristics on Corning fast and cutting in and out of traffic.

Will I got lucky and the long arms came right out with an air gun and socket. The short arms came out the frame but the bolts on the axle end were stuck in the steel bushing inserts. I had to cut the heads off the rear bolts and use spacers and kept tightening the nuts to make them break free. Then I replaced the hardware with the appropriate hardware once out. It wasn’t fun at all. Those bolts must be Grade 10.

Makes a difference but still retains a nice ride. I have had situations where adding a much thicker sway bar made the ride harsher really depends on what you want out of your car.

I was thinking of getting the limited slip on my Marquis in hopes that if I slide the rear I don't lose it suddenly and I can't keep track of it. I'm thinking the open diff is doing this thing where it safely spins one tire with limited traction, then the whole rear sort of snaps away as soon as the other tire slips too. I really want to be able to have a nice slide, but it would be _ideal_ if it were more controlled. Will a LSD help this?
