Ford experts please?

Question

Are the engines in the 1994 Crown Vic and the Mustang the same? If not what is the difference?

I'm not looking to switch engines. My husband is looking at getting a mustang but if the Crown Vic has the same engine then he'll keep the Crown Vic and soup up that engine.

This is a simple question and if you can't give an honest answer don't bother. You dont have to be rude about it.

Answer 1

If they are both 4.6L they will be the same basic block. The difference will be the intakes, exhaust. Taking into account the different intakes, the PCM (engine computer) will have different calibrations. This is where the biggest difference will be. The Mustang will fare better if you have a manual trans. The manual trans has higher gear ratios for first and second. Generally both have the same ratio in the rear axle, 3.27:1. I konw that Ford had some supercharger 4.6L in a Crown Vic body, aka Marauder, these where stictly prototype development vehicles, but the supercharger may be avaiible aftermarket. It was a very nice clean package under the hood. So in essence it comes down to which body do you like better? Personnaly, I have always liked the Crown Vic, lots of junkyard part availible, i.e. crashed cop cars.

Answer 2

You want The 4.6 liter motor, the differences are in the injectors and the computer chip and the fuel pressure regulator,, (Both are great Vehicles But If Your talking about a saleen or at Shelby GT-500 Or Some other special Ford Then That's a different story) I had a 1992 Crown Vic Great Vehicle But I order it with the High Output Police Motor(45more H.P.) and suspension Package, you can get the mustang and it will out run the Vic in short distances but the Vic will catch it, Mustangs are Quick But The Vic Is Very Fast And Sturdy Vehicle To Travel At high Speeds, The Fastest Ford's Now are The GT-40 Back In Production Or The F-150 Lightning Has a 5.7 Litre V-8 Supercharged With a eaton super Charger, and there only 12 , 2 man teams that only work on the Lightning Trucks at Ford.Truck SVT (Special Vehicle Team)Not Much Out There Can out Perform either one of theses two Vehicle including Your Jap Imports or european, That's a Fact .take Care BOLD-MOVES FORD, also Ford Mercery Marquise Makes a Intercepter Version of the vic and has a Supercharged version of the Lightning F-150 Truck bad to the bone

Answer 3

It is basically the same engine. But the two cars are set up very different. The Mustang will have gearing to compliment the sporty aspects of that car. The same engine in the Crown Vic will not preform the same since the weight to horsepower ratio is way different. Yeah you could soup up a 4.6 in your Crown Vic, but it would never compare with a souped up 4.6 in a Mustang.

I have an '05 crown Vic. That 4.6 is a good engine.

Answer 4

A 94 Crown Vic has a 4.6 motor, Depends on the year of the Mustang but only a 4.6 to 4.6 will work. If you want more power for the crown vic this is what I would do. Go to the dealer and buy a PCM(computer) for a police package. That will give you enough power to make you happy.

Answer 5

Both cars had the 4.6L available - it was standard on the Crown and in the V-8 package for the Mustang. A police interceptor version of the Crown or a GT Mustang had the high-output dual-overhead cam version of the 4.6. There are literally tons of aftermarket parts out there for either chassis and either engine.

I'd personally stick with the Crown since you obviously like it and are considering that option anyway. You can soup it up mildly to moderately with things like porting, rear-end gears, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, chip, etc... OR you could go whole-heartedly into this thing and add a supercharger, Nos, tranny, PCM, etc...

Answer 6

If the CV and the mustang are the same year, the engines will swap using the tangs junk and the CV block. It would be better if the Crown is a P-71 ( cop car ) That would be in the vin. As for the guy saying the tang will beat CV, Nope.

Answer 7

As Long As The 5.0 Or 4.6 Are The Same Ya Should Be Able To Do a Swap.Check The 8th Digit On The VIN They Should Match To Swap From Car To Car,You'll Have To Use Your Original Intake,Exhaust Manifolds,And Original Alternator,A.C.,Smog Pump,And Water Pump Brackets

Answer 8

Both can be souped- up (as you put it) to the high end. You would need a police grade PCM, something other than a stock PCM. Then, other components must be changed or up graded.
If the Crown Vic. is not high output your results may not be pleasing.

Answer 9

Part of the speed of a car is being light. My mom has a Grand Marquis with the same type of engine as my friend's 2000 Mustang and the speed of the two cars is not even close to comparable. I have a Taurus with the same engine and it is a lot closer to the speed of the Mustang because of its weight. All of these cars have a V6 24 valve Ford engine.

Answer 10

the real Boss 302 Mustang 1969 1970 relies on the Trans Am Racing sequence motor vehicle that develop into produced so Ford ought to bypass highway racing interior the SCCA sequence, activities motor vehicle club of usa. decrease back then you certainly had to offer a minimum of 500 production unit automobiles to coach you have been entering a production unit produced motor vehicle interior the sequence. the vehicle you ought to purchase from the broker develop into very comparable to the totally race motor vehicle.
