[QUOTE="mrlrd1, post: 9127139, member: 94513"] I am being critical, but not overly so. I've see numerous Crown Vics traded in after police and then taxi service with over 400K miles and still running well. But that's certainly NOT the norm. Of course they do. But can you name a single engine line in automotive history that's had as many cylinder head related failures? And they're not just wear and mileage issues. They're outright design flaws. I'll leave the intake cracking and exhaust stud breaking problems alone - I'm talking about internal engine. There are several LSx engines capable of over 6500rpm in stock form. And spinning even a stock 4V 4.6 or 5.4 to 7000rpm is pointless - a 2V or 3V motor? :lol: . They don't make power there. Ever get stuck behind an older 91-97 Crown Vic/Grand Marquis/Town Car at redlight? They smoke like an 80s Caravan does during acceleration. They commonly have ring and valve seal problems over 100K miles. I don't really have a problem with the modular engines honestly. I've made a very good living off of them. I've never dealt with the GT or GT500 stuff, and doubt I ever will. But like I said, hopefully the new engines will live up to the hype. [/QUOTE]
