A '90 Crown Vic had a lo-po 5.0. They still respond to Mustang mods, even though they were pretty slow stock. If he did an HO conversion and then modded it, he could be making decent power...but it's still a 4000lb car.


And for the record, the P72 (up to 1993) CVs were essentially the same engine and drivetrain as their civilian counterparts. Up until 1992, a carbed 351 was an option on the P72s. After the switch to the new body style and the 4.6L, no other engines were available. The 351 makes more torque and is arguably beefier, but is actually slower to 100 than the 5.0 Vics.
