hello
i have a 92 crown victoria that i have been driving recently and have been thinking. would (or should) i build the 4.6L v8 in my car from 190hp to around 3-400? or buy a newer crown vic with a 5.0L v8 and build around the same amount? i need some input on this as a couple years down the road i want to finish a project for myself. i figured since the mustangs run the 5.0’s that they have more and better performance parts for them. i want to go from normal car to swift car if you know what i mean.
i am open to suggestions please. want to build it to possibly be used daily.
(btw my crown victoria has the F1AE engine in it).

but in your opinion which motor would serve me better? because i have a 4.6l v8 in my car right now and it can get the mileage and the reliability, just i dont know the 5.0L too well.
I have owned several versions of both, and I can tell you that you will spend a TON of money on a modular 4.6 and be dissapointed. Your EEC4 system would have limited compatibility — 4.6s need blowers, they have zero low end torque in a 4 cam. 2 cam isn’t even worth discussing.. 3o2s are cheap, parts everywhere, and there is just no comparison. Easier thing, just buy a car that suits your performance needs more. Better way to go if you want a big car with performance potential is find a full sized Gm with and Lt1 350 engines. Endless bolt on cheap potential there with none of the ford headaches, which, in my opinion simply not worth it.
