Hello everyone, I just recently got a 99 P71, with only 97,000 miles on it and I was wondering all of the possibilities to do with this car.
It was the fire chiefs so it's not too broken in.
I was thinking about just having it painted all black with tint, with smoked lenses. The usual.
Now for the engine, I don't know much about the engines on these cars, but what where would be a good start to adding performance in this car? I know if I add different spark plugs and do general maintenance on it that will add some horsepower, but what about a K&N cold air intake?
Or supposed if I supercharge the engine, I'm asking hypothetically.
Right now the only thing I did with the engine is change the battery, since the previous battery died I put another one in. The original was 650 cold cranking amp, but the one that's in it now has 750. Is that bad if I increase it? Please take note I don't know much about these cars. |

the lower tensioners usually squeal when cold. replace pulleys. i have a 99 street appearance p71. not nearly as fast as other p71s. replacing all the hoses is usually a good idea. ive run into problems at ford getting heater hoses. get the motorcraft number off the hose if possible as ive received the wrong hose on occasion and the dealer doesnt like returns even though they looked up the hose and ordered them |
