Thanks for your help. I guess that it worked at last? Can you tell me what it was like to drive after the new engine was installed? I am seeking a bit of motivation because the shop has had me wait 7 years already and is asking me to remove the car! I live oveseas in Europe right now. I am...

Hi Pops, I am kind of stuck in my project. RF Overlord in the Crownvic forum suggested I contact you. He said you successfully put a Marauder engine in an AERO bodied car I have been trying to get a shop for the past few years to install a new Marauder engine in my Aero body 1993 Crown Vic. I...

Hi Pops, RF Overlord in the Crownvic forum suggested I contact you for advice. He said you had successfully put a Marauder engine in an AERO bodied car! I am kind of stuck in my project. I have been trying to coax a shop for the past few years to install a new Marauder engine in my Aero body...

Hi sloza85, Are you still selling this car ? Thanks ! Vic

Mutant Marauder Aero Panther Engine Swap BACK ON ! ! ! Well folks, it has in fact been a couple more years wait but somehow my patience has been met with a potential installation this month. The very best Speed Shop in Vermont has located a custom fuel system to go from the gas tank to the...

Conclusions Thanks a lot guys. This advice was considerable and the explanations detailed. From what I conclude: With a blow engine a bigger MAF is better because you won't lose velocity due to the larger diameter thanks to the turbine. With a natural engine once you have enough intake...

Hi CBT, Any pics will be posted in an old thread over at CV.net: Mutant Marauder Update The project got delayed over the winter but is now back on track. Borla stingers on the way and almost ready to drive to the mandrel bender once that MAF is bolted on. Vic

Thanks BlueFusion for your analysis. Low end torque is really what I'm mostly after since I'm not going on many straight roads. This is a hill road racer and not a strip cruiser or dragster. So torque is the name of the game, the sooner the better. I'll stick with the 80mm MAF because at...

Hi Hemi Hunter, Looks like you've got enough intake to spell doom to chargers and challengers! Hi 99SVT, Since the intake manifold ensures proper intake airspeed, then I guess nothing would affect intake airspeed unless it is UNDERSIZED components upstream in the airflow. So an oversized...

90mm MAF approved for N/A DOHC engine Thanks Guys, so I guess as long as the K&N cold air intake is smaller diameter tubing the intake airspeed will have accelerated enough despite the larger bodied MAF. So I can go without issues up to the 90mm size in a naturally aspirated engine, allowing...

Lightning Speed ! Hi Guys and thanks for the important advice. I'd rather not by the MAF twice, and Lonnie sells the Lightning one at a good price. If it won't hurt, I'll save a couple bucks and get the 90mm but not if it slows airflow and hurts the low end... :depress: Also, if later I...

Is there such a thing as TOO MUCH Intake? Let me explain guys. The new crate engine came without a Mass Air Flow Sensor. The exhaust is 3" Stainless Works Longtubes and the Cold Air Intake is K&N. What I need to figure is whether to buy a stock Marauder 80mm MAF or move up in size to a...

Mandrel bending NOT in Vermont... Hi Vt Woodsman, I plan to go down to Worcester Massachusetts to get my exhaust fabricated. There is NO PLACE in Vermont. I asked last summer and even the Custom Car shop way behind the Airport only crimps. Tim Quintin of drag racing fame told me that since...

Borla sound Hi Granite, I'll definitely do that. Sound clips are what brought me to choose the Borla Stinger. People with these mounted on their Mach1's posted theirs on Youtube and it sounds better than most. I am also glad to be mounting them as far back as possible, since that gives a...

A "Hezzleton Exhaust" ? Hi Paul, Thanks for the suggestion. I'd rather go with a guy whose known for the quality of his work than a shop just because they have a digital bender. He's also the same distance from me, by another route. However, I'm wondering how these shops are going to...

Hi FordNut, That's the way to go. I went to a Custom Car Shop here in Vermont, one of the few which does performance exhaust, and they showed me their crimped exhausts. I can't get myself to weld THAT on the back of the Stainless Works headers. The crimping was deep and sure to create HP...

Hi, I finally measured the wide space on either side of the fuel tank and the 93 Crown Vic has ample space to install a 10 round Borla Stinger. So, guess what?That's what's going in! :cool: Vic

Mutant Marauder back on track! Hi Babbage, After a long winter spent overseas trying to eek out a living, I'm back home trying to get the Mutant Marauder on the road. I'm still needing to find that Mandrel bender, but wouldn't mind saving some bucks if it won't hurt performance. So I...

Source for H-Pipe kits This is just a short posting to share a source which might be worth investigating for H-Pipes. I looked long and wide and had a hard time finding any out there in the market so unless I'm as lame as they get here's what I came up with...

Thanks for your advice Hi cvpiftw, Thanks for taking the time to set me straight. The project car is getting expensive and I want to make sure that I get any extra mods right the first time around. Would getting a Built Transmission be expensive? Does anybody build them better and/or cheaper...
