Could be a 351W. In this vintage both had the 2bbl VV carburetor and telling them apart is almost impossible unless you read the emissions label. I've had about every combination and permutation of 302/351 and transmission you can imagine, including a very rare 89 I bought new with the 351W and Trailer Tow Package. My brother also had an 86 Colony Park with the 351 and towing package

I had one exactly like this as a company car, same color, pinstripes, interior. Only difference was a maroon vinyl half- top. Most likely a 302 V-8. We traded company cars in every 55,000 miles - in this case 10 months - we drove the heck out of them.

I like the content of todays video. Detail info and a little banter is good. You guys do some amazing work on some pretty badly aged vehicles. The other comment about the engine should be correct. It should be a 302. A modest horse power version based on the year model. Too bad about the other commenters having to replace a seal at 60k miles. 302’s are generally just about bullet proof. Keep up the good work.

[@djcrownvic7017]

The 302 had low HP by today's standards, but the torque was decent.

[@lvsqcsl]

Ford came out with the Crown Victoria (on the Panther platform, not the 1955 Crown Victoria) in 1980 replacing the LTD Landau. That car appears to be a 1982. (Look at the grille. Ford used that grille on the 1979-82 LTDs with four headlights. I know, I had one. They also made one with 2 headlights that was a cheaper model.) 1982 is the first year they used the Ford Blue Oval with that style grille. If you look closely at 11:28 the fender badging says "automatic overdrive." It does NOT say "Electronic Fuel Injection" like the 1983 and later Crown Vics did. I can't see under the air cleaner, but, if the intake manifold has a valley pan it is NOT a 5.0 liter (302 c.i.d.) engine. It is a 4.2 liter (255 c.i.d.) which is likely what that car has. Also, unless someone has changed the carburetor, it has a Motorcraft 7200 VV (variable-venturi) carburetor. (I changed many of those rubber diaphragms when they went bad.) IIRC that car with the AOD transmission got really good gas mileage. Those taillights look to be from a 1983+ car. So, the grille might have been changed. The wheels are 14" and in 1984 15 " was optional. If you look over behind the Duraspark electronic ignition box on the fender is the engine computer. So, it appears to be an '82. Maybe it was wrecked in the back. Great video!

More detailing than banter, but some banter is fun. After watching so many of your videos, I’m hoping owners of cars that are just rotting away somewhere will be inspired to sell/give them to someone who wants to take care of them. Interesting how nostalgia can kill some of these cars, i.e. hanging on to a vehicle because it was a relatives car but then letting it rot to pieces. Just set the vehicle free so others can enjoy it.
