anyone know of any headers that would fit on a 97 crown vic.. i figure if it fits to a mustang it would fit on the engine side of my car but i dont know if it will get around the steering shaft.. anyone got any ideas?

I think that 4.6 t-bird headers are gonna be your best bet, I would have to check but i think kooks makes a set. On a side note, headers will help that baby breath ALOT better.

i know thats what i am going for i looked at the ones i got on there today closer and i realized they are smaller than two inches. its kinda depressing.. what kinda power gain do you think i could get from it? would it be worth the money and the effort that is going to be needed to change em?

a good set of longtube headers can be worth 10-20 rwhp..

okay cause right now i am probs at about 190 HP or in that general area i would like to get it up to at least 215.. my buddy has a set of heads off of the old engine that was in this car i think i am going to bring them to you for some mild port work.. you think the heads the exhaust and a nice intake would get me around that power level?

if its a non-pi motor i have no idea, i havent really done anyting with them except put pi stuff on them. But if its a PI headed car then you really dont need to port them, they are pretty big from the factory and will support that ho with no problem..

they arent the PI heads... would it be a better idea just to get the PI heads? this is where i am not sure.. i have read guys go back and forth on this but i guess its the port job that they would get done on the non-PI heads?

doing PI heads would be like getting a stage 5 port job on your non-pi heads.. I say YES get the PI swap and long tubes..:tongue1:

Look on corral. You can get them at a pretty good price.

Thats pretty sick. Whenever I get out of school I want to put a mod motor into a car its not supposed to be. Like a civic or something. :fear:
That vic looks awesome though. I love massive cars that can fly.
