First thought - there's not much difference for a before-after photo. Wait, if that's not a before-after pic what do you need eight plugs for? And then I realised - oh wait, right, it must be 'Murrica, no four bangers there ;).

Actually I'd love to drive a police interceptor Crown Vic from the last production batch as my daily commuter, that's 2011 if I'm not mistaken. A typical sherrif's unmarked car, something like this, except I'd like it dark grey with a bull bar.

My dad's is the one in the picture. We travel to quite a few meets around NJ and PA. It has like 27k miles on it and it's a 2004. I debated on looking for one before I bought my Mustang... but the 5.0 Coyote was too much to pass up.

You just need to find a wrecked Lincoln Aviator. Have to be careful with those though. I can't tell you how many of those owners don't realize that those cars needed premium fuel because of that motor.

Ask me how I know. :P

As for swaps, skip the InTech. Go blown or go home. :twisted:
