    Made an appointment for this coming Monday to have the rear diff drained and refilled after the 500 mile break in and ordered a LubeLocker diff gasket which is supposed to work pretty nice with the aluminum diff cover so I’ll have that swapped out cause I’m gonna have him pull the cover even tho...

    Now we are pretty much caught up to where I am now, I decided I’d like to install a trac lok since I’ve got an open diff and at the same time switch out to 3.73 rear gears for quicker acceleration, so over a few months picked up everything needed all parts are Ford or Ford Racing: trac lok, 3.73...

    License plate light lens was yellowed found an OEM one on eBay. Down the road I’d like to install Town Car seats and since my passenger seat isn’t power I’d need to add a switch so found a NOS door panel out of an LX Sport to have ready for a latter time. Since the Bullitt wheels poke out...

    The civilian Vic’s and MGM have a few of these rubber sound insulators the P71/P7B don’t have so I picked up a set there’s two for the B pillar as seen in these pics, one behind the rear seat on either side then the rear pillars in front of the rear window. Old front sway bar vs the new one

    Been slacking and haven’t updated this in awhile. After I installed the new wheels/tires I emailed my tuner and he sent me a new tune with the updated tire size so the speedo would read correctly size the Bullitt wheels/tires are like an inch smaller overall, so uploaded the new tune. Then I...

    That’s kinda what I’m thinking, in that case only real hp gain is a custom tune, I mean the power gain is nice but the drivability is a night/day difference fixes the sloppy trans

    I’m pretty sure you have the P71 airbox and tube with the LX sport if you don’t that’s I think a 10hp gain but you need a tune for that due to the increased airflow, only real hp gain you can do is a tune from Marty but that isn’t cheap comes with a tuner to upload the tune the drivability is so...

    You’ll have the rear swaybar then, the P71/P7B, Marauder, LX Sport and the Mercury Grand Marquis LSE (basically a Mercury LX Sport) and I think the Town Car did too, everything else didn’t it’s super easy to ad tho.

    Thanks, and ya it gives it a different look. Oh they definitely do and thanks and ADTR the factory bar is like 1/2 this one is like 1” it handles so much better especially on the highway in the curves you can just glide through them no more braking all the time.

    Going down the road it handles and rides about the same, in tight parking lots etc. the turning radius isn’t as good as it was with the stock wheels/tires but it’s not terrible.

    Picked up an upgraded rear swaybar, did the LCM bypass mod to fix the hyper flash with the LED bulbs in the turn signals, and grounded out the wire for the FSS to turn off the light that had been on since it had been removed for the cat-back exhaust.
