ImportKiller, do you have a bigger pic of your car? I love the GT wing on an LX, what did you do, swap the whole hatch? unfortunately they didn't make GT's in Bright Calypso Green so I'll have to repaint what ever I get.

ImportKiller · 10-11-2002, 04:35 PM

Yeah its a GT hatch, you'll have to buy one and there are some adjustments you'll have to make but all in all an easy thing to do...

of course you can always go out and buy a saleen whale tail those are cool too.

So, is the Crown Vic pan a direct fit for a 351W in a Fox?

ImportKiller · 10-11-2002, 06:39 PM

Good question, im not sure if it is. I hope it is, if anybody knows please share.

ImportKiller · 10-12-2002, 11:40 PM

Okay the word on the doublepump pan is the Crown vic is a direct bolt fit for the fox.

Word from my buddy who has one.

Do you (or he) have any idea what the best year(s) would be for the oil pan, pickup and dipstick and tube would be? I assume like about the same years as the Fox? Thanks...

I did this exact swap into an 86 capri. You are going to have to go with a 79 to (I believe) a 84 LTD. It seems that most of the 351W's went into the wagons. I dont think they put 351W's in the injected LTD's (85 - newer). Take the dipstick as well and the pulleys and brackets as the brackets on the 302 are different. I also got a double hump oilpan from a 83 van for a 351 into a 78 truck.(turned out that I didn't need it.

Don't forget, you can't use the 5.0 headers, they rub on the steering. Found that out the hard way.
