hes just replacing the engine you still go the transmission, brakes, the tires, ect i got a 97 Ford Crown Vic Police Interceptor for $1800 in good shape, it has a 4.6 V8, 210hp, and it came with 86k on it. the bad side is gas, 16 mpg city and 22 mpg highway. i advise you to look at them at city auctions, you dont have to get a Crown Vic you could get the impala.
