Woot!

Post by 71fordkid »

Just picked up my crown vic swap. complete disk to disk with brake lines and power steering lines intact, as well as the swaybar! It came out of a small town cop car that got rear ended at 60,00 miles. everything is perfect. I paid $325. Now to burn some metal!

Ill put up some pics later. Im planning on 1.5'' drop springs, and modifying the frame so the crossmember sits 1'' up inside. so total drop over stock will be about 7.5''. I hope i can still turn with those 16's!

Tie a rope around the unit, other end to something heavy in the garage, drive forward. :evil:
Just kidding! Looks like a nice unit! Hope the install goes well for you. :thup:
