was mainly for noise. I gained a little power over 3200 rpm, but not a lot. Duals would have been a better choice.   As for getting more power, the stock heads and camshaft are the main limitations. Upgrading to a 5.0 HO (as in Mustang) uppper intake and throttle body, boring out the EGR spacer to 60 mm, and adding shorty headers and duals will give you some improvement. To really wake the 5.0 up, you need E7 (HO) or slightly better heads and the HO camshaft. These will require the larger 19 lb/hr injectors, and a Mustang computer is highly reccommended. And remember that the HO cam changes the firing order.   Much more information about this is available at www.crownvic.net.

Before this thread goes read only, I'd like to share that I went ahead with the KYB shocks. After about 200 miles, I can say that transient handling has improved a bit, but ride quality has suffered. With the KYB's and 37 psi in the tires, it rides about like the '02 Ram 2500 4x4 I rode in (unloaded).
#6 of 33 update on my update by hotrodlincoln1 Apr 22, 2004 (8:29 am)
After putting 5000 miles on the KYB shocks, my opinion of them has changed. They WERE very stiff at first, but after about 1000 miles they loosened up, not to the point of being soggy, floaty, or sloppy, but "just right". Now the ride quality is similar to that of German cars I've driven, and handling is still excellent.
#8 of 33 1984 Power Windows by sacdl7 Mar 18, 2005 (7:16 am)
I own a 1984 Town Car in which the power-windows now refuse to function. By going through the window-switches with a jumper, they will go up or down. The fuses are alright. There is no electricity to the door-switches. I put a new PW relay in the passenger-side kick-panel area. Yet the windows STILL refuse to function. Any suggestions? Thank you.

#10 of 33 Super charger, engine mods or new engine? by tclover Sep 03, 2005 (7:59 pm)
I have a 1990 TC and wish to make this a sleeper car. I don't know much about performance and need to know which is the best route to go. Do I simply get the necessary mods done and add a super charger or should I just swap for a H.O. 5.0 ? I am looking for the easiest way.

Replying to: tclover (Sep 03, 2005 7:59 pm) The 90 came with a 5.0L if I'm not mistaken......so a swap out with a H.O. shouldn't be too hard. You may still want to blow it...
#12 of 33 2006 T/C Upgrades?? by beanride Sep 25, 2005 (12:32 pm)
I am looking for upgrades (engine, brakes, suspension, etc.) for the 2006 Town Car. The car is fully armored and is very heavy. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Replies to this message: euphonium (Sep 25, 2005 10:07 pm) zanzibarjose (Mar 24, 2006 10:47 am) joshmo1 (May 30, 2006 7:00 pm)

Replying to: beanride (Sep 25, 2005 12:32 pm) I hope that when one buys a fully armored new TC, Wixom installs more than just the livery 239 hp 4.6 V8. Are you not offered an option list that hopefully includes the 5.4 V8? As for the transmission - I wonder how much room is available for a beefy 6 speed AOD. As to the brakes, Brembo might be considered. Is it expecting too much to have a more substantial suspension standard on the armored option? Good Luck.
