About the injectors, if the Vic has flex fuel you'll have to swap your injectors for the mustang ones.

As far as the swap goes basically take everything off the mustang engine and put it on the crown Vic, pulleys, valve covers, and accessories. I'm not 100% sure you have to swap the valve covers though, I did on mine because the valve covers on the engine I used were damaged. When you're done the crown Vic engine should look exactly the mustangs engine once you're done. I do recommend buying new gaskets. I needed an oil filter adapter gasket as well Intake/valve covers gaskets and rear main seal.

What's the issue with the injectors though? Are the mustang ones damaged? I just did the swap using a 07 grand marquis engine and it's pretty straightforward.

A full list? Yikes! Lol I'm only saying that because I had help from a much more experienced mechanic and he did do some work while I wasnt there. Lol but put it like this, the only thing that should be left from the Vic is the block, heads, Intake if you're using it (I used the one from my mustang because the new one was cracked lol) ALL accessories (water pump, ac compressor, etc) as well as sensors are to be swapped from the mustangs engine. Im pretty sure mechanic swapped the pulleys as well. Remember that the PCM is going to look for everything that was on the Mustang. Trust me when I say it's a lot less complicated than it sounds.

I'm not 100% sure on the oil cooler though, I remember seeing a thread when I was doing research for my swap, I'll try to find it again.

When you're done your crown Vic engine should look almost exactly the same as the mustang

Grand marquis engine before

After

Can't even tell the difference from the original engine
