About the 1992–1997 Ford Crown Victoria
from the generation archive
The 1992–1997 Box Panther Crown Victoria might look like a mild-mannered sedan from the outside, but these owner builds tell a different story — turbo setups, Vortech superchargers, ProCharger blowers, and Brembo brake upgrades hiding under those boxy hoods. From maroon sedans parked on front lawns to blue Crown Vics with their engine bays cracked open at meets, this generation hub captures how owners are pushing the Panther platform way beyond stock.
The story
Goals for the powertrain:
>Rear end: 3.27's is fine. It's a good balance of mileage and power
>Transmission: Rebuilt and upgraded T45 (If anyone can give me any input on how to do that, I would appreciate it)
>Transmission hookup: I really want to use the stock automatic shifter location (like an old three in the tree). I'm currently trying to figure out a way to do that so I don't have to cut a hold in the floor for the shifter.
>Engine: 400hp/400ft-lbs tq at the flywheel on an engine rebuild with Patriot Stage 3 heads, .550" lift cams goot from 1800-6200rpms, Victor Jr. Carb, 75mm throttle body (or dual 57mm), cobra oil pump, 11cc dish pistons (NPI, factory replacement)
>Custom cruise control which, when activated, would use a separate engine computer totally dedicated to fuel economy.
>Larger exhaust pipes
Goals for the interior:
>Entertainment center (almost complete, will post pictures when it is installed)
>Mechanical driver's seat (possibly rebuild electric motors)
>Add tachometer — KG6ZVP
