has anyone ever dropped in the engine or got the necessary parts to convert a 4.6 triton to a police interceptor 4.6.

How hard is it
how much $

 

its just P.I. heads and a tune i think

 

The police interceptor engine is no different than any other 4.6 put in a vic.

 

Yeap. It's got an external oil cooler and a heavy duty alternator, otherwise you're not really gaining anything from the PI engine.

 

waste of money, get a 5.4

 

Agreed.

Can I HAVE yours?

Good job on the rig by the way Built!

 

Yeah, it is the shift kit that gives the interceptors all of the snap that makes them seem faster.

 

what about the cool name???? doesn't that help it seem faster too

 

My brother is a certified mechanic, sells superchips, installed them in a couple of troopers cars for them, they swear by them! So don't speed in cajan land you will get a ticket!

 

I read somewhere the 4.6L in the hiway patrol cars are only 250hp. Probably not worth buying since they take lots of abuse and spend a lot of time idling.

 

Don't forget that Police Interceptors also have 3.55 gears with 27 inch (235/55R17) tires. I had read a few have 3.27s, but most are ordered with the 3.55s. 3.55s with 27 inch tires give approximately the same effect as running 4.10s in an F150 with 30 inch (255/70R16) tires.

 

I could be mistaken, but a friend (certified auto tech) eluded to something different about the intake of the cop engine being different, shorter runners maybe ? Is it possible that I'm thinking of a 4.9 V8 seen in Canada ? My friend has such an intake at his shop, but I can't for the life of me be sure what he said it comes off of.

 

Unless it was a one off intake, the Interceptor package has nothing different on the induction than a regular 4.6 motor.

4.9L V8? What would that be out of? Maybe your thinking of the 3.9L in the Lincoln LS?

 

i have a 96 interceptor. the tranny is just programmed for firmer shifts thats all. i cant wait till i have enough cash to get my hands on a 2001 or up model.
