The 4.6 is a very efficient engine considering it's power to weight ratio. A car that weighs half as much doesn't get twice the mpg. It's all about volumetric efficiency.

Been following along with this build for a while, glad you finally got her running. When ford initially dropped the 7.3 godzilla, my first thought (besides, "gah damn thats impressive") was "that needs to go in a crown vic". Proud of you man, glad I wasn't the only psycho to imagine this powerplant in a panther platform- but you turned that into reality. Very happy you didn't decide to just romp on it- those first drives on a project will tell you some crucial info, and its very easy to make a costly mistake if youre not careful. Can't wait to see where this build goes in the future, I will definitely tune in. Do you plan on keeping the auto trans though?

I was hoping to see how much faster that thing takes off then a standard 4.6 or even the interceptor 4.6. but yeah I kind of get it and the way that lady was looking at you forget it definitely would have called the cops. Sometimes I drive my car around the neighborhood or around the block and people look at me suspiciously like if it's an old lady I get a dirty look kind of or if it's a woman that have kids they yell slow down even if you're going 5 miles an hour I guess people just assume

@@jaygee6983 it wouldn’t have ended well. The crown vic is pretty much an f150 sedan, the 7.3 is a 3/4 ton engine at least. If he wouldve whacked it any, he couldve grenaded the trans. Having a project car that you dont have to push around is never worth breaking. At least we got to see this project happen.

@@limoboy27 that looks like an old interceptor I don't think he would have a problem stepping on it those things accelerate a lot faster than the standard 4.6 like I have in my Grand Marquis. You should be able to moderately accelerate in that thing no problem. And if it has 355 gears and track lock that thing will smoke the tires no problem. And you can get a rebuilt transmission for 2500 and it will be beefy enough to handle that the guy that did mine he could have put a few beefier parts in it for $3,000 but I didn't need it. And if you think about it he's already got the beefier motor in it $3,000 is a small price to pay to have an extremely reliable and powerful sleeper. Could you imagine the look on people's faces when taking off from a light. I mean I understand the whole point is to prove that it can be done heck he could have put a diesel in there if he wanted to. I'm just happy to see this monstrosity going down the road so I guess I can't complain. And yeah I kind of get what you're saying I mean you don't really want to slam the pedal down to the floor on a car that was recently tuned because you're supposed to break it in for so many miles I think it's a hundred or 200 mi just supposed to drive before the computer recalibrates and learns everything. Once that happens his mileage should improve and he should be able to press the gas down a little bit

@@L8R-HP though the difference is I will go through Ford and local shops as much as possible to have it done as well as possible, since it's a daily driver. But that's also why I want more modern power and mpg and startups. A 5.4L 2v doesn't cut it, 3v too risky with the oiling, 5.0 coyote doesn't make the torque I want and isn't better on gas than the 5.4 it seems to justify the cost. 7.3 though? That's fine :3
