Hey all, I took a 2005 Police Interceptor, removed the old worn out 2v and 4r70w, and dropped in a 63k mileage SVT 4.6 S/C and T-56 from a 2003 Cobra.

So far everything runs alright, waiting on a 340lph fuel pump on wed, to solve the fuel starving issue I am having with my stock CVPI fuel pump.


But I have many questions, and hopefully this forum will be a bastion of information to help me out :D

NICE!! Already tagged my coworker with your video on Facebook. He drives an old Wisconsin State Trooper car.

I love that it all fits under the hood. :beer:

Lol, thanks! I just replaced my stock fuel pump with a Aeromotive Stealth 340LPH. Going in for a dyno graphing tomorrow. See what she is putting down.

Update*

Finally got the rest of the pictures of the install uploaded.

Also, hit the dynojet today. Not making what I was expecting, but still very respectable for a 2 ton old police cruiser with a almost completely stock Cobra swap.

Very cool man now you can save up for a larger blower and really turn up the boost:beer:

This is my first forced induction setup. Are these numbers in line with what to expect for a basically stock Cobra plant with a 2.81" upper on it? Boost seems to spike high quickly, but bleed off and not hold the initial spike very long. Like, initially Ive seen it hit 13 psi, but hold about 5 psi through a whole pull. Perhaps this can be adjusted in the tune?

Anyone recommend a good tuner that isn't like, 840 miles from my location lol? I'm located in Topeka KS.

Make sure you don't have belt slippage that would cause you issues

Standing in front of the car, we heard no hint of belt slip, especially with the Steeda idlers in place. But it does seem weird that the numbers were lower than I had anticipated.

wiped the snout down with a rag, no difference in appearance, so I'm going to guess there was no belt slip. Perhaps the bypass is acting up?

Power is low for sure. Might want to check the boost bypass too. Plenty of info in the Terminator section on these issues.

VERY COOL!!!!

I'm currently on the fence on buying a Crown Vic Sport or a Marauder... Never considered a manual swap for either. Good to know its possible!
