Hi thanks for the reply. I found a engine block from a 2001 crown Vic with rebuilt heads. It's a non pi. Can I used all my parts from my old motor and swap them over?I may be a little late here, but it sounds like a bottom end bearing problem like you said. That being the case the engine has to come out. At the very least the crank will have to go to a machine shop to get turned, swapping a known good engine will be the cheaper option I imagine. Since your car is a 2000GT I don't think it is advisable to swap a non-PI engine in unless you plan to use your top end parts (heads up), which will result in slightly higher compression.
You can swap it all over. The 02-11 crown vic is plentiful and cheap. I just put a 35k mile 2011 crown vic in and it was reasonable. 100k motors are a dime a dozen now and cheap.
The npi short block with pi heads will be 10.5:1 vs 9.5:1 compression. A nice little bump and it helps with HP.
