The 90's models to be precise. I am wondering if I can just drop the Crown Vic engine out and put it in my mustang. All answers are appreciated.

It has a 3.8 liter in the car, and the crown vic has a 4.6 v8 in it. They are both 95 models.

Both vehicles used a 4.6L engine. Essentially it was the same engine, the Crown Vic engine didn't have quite as many performance parts in the engine though. But more or less it was the exact same engine. It would be most likely be cheaper to buy a used Mustang GT than to drop a V8 in your V6.

You should be able to google the answer easily enough.
However, all things being equal, I think the Crown Vic engine would not be a good "fit" with a Mustang. The Crown Vic engine is not high performance...unless you're talking one from a retired police cruiser.

The 4.6 mustang which was 96 & newer should be close with different exhaust & intake. Should fit in a Crown Vic fairly easily.

if they are both 5.0 L engines and you swap all the mustang stuff to the vic's engine that appears different ( mounts, belts,manifolds etc.) and keep vic wiring stuff cuz you may need to keep a vic sensor that has a different electrical end than that on the mustang ( solder that joint . ) everything should be ok. if the mustang 5.0 has any salvageable heavy duty stuff inside keep it to strip or trade , have fun , be safe

80's-90's mustangs (302's anyway) were the 5.0 HO wich used a different camshaft, a 351 firing order, and made more power

THERE IS TRANSMISSION DIFFERENCE MOST MUSTANGS GT'S ARE MANUELS VICES CROWNS ARE AUTOS. THIS MIGHT AFFECT COMPUTER CALIBRATION AND COMPATIBILITY. MOTOR A MOTOR BUT COMPATILITY IN THE ELECTRONICS MIGHT BE A NIGHTMARE.
