When I built a triton engine I built it with a Windsor bottom end and a Romeo upper I like the fact that the Romeo uses girdled cam caps and the Windsor uses clip in rist pins. so I can do it all myself. I'll use cams out of a 13 e350 5.4 with a 5.4 expedition t.b. and Forged truck crank, the timing covers are interchangeable just be careful of your upper bolts the 5.4 heads useded a 10 x1.5mm threaded bolt and the 4.6 used an 8×1.25mm bolt, that also changed between R&W engines. A fella can build a good one with all OE parts if you know what to look for.
Owned a 2002 Crown Vic. Navy, loaded. No regrets. So what if the manifold went!! 800 to fix and I was on my way. Wish Ford would do a new classic Crown Vic and just change interior with a 10 speed transmission.
I really appreciate all this info you give about the Crown Vic I"ve been considering getting a Panther body and your channel has been a godsend for doing research on them
If your looking to also modify a Panther, check out adtr.net. They pretty much have narrowed down all the correct parts swaps. They also have worked with part manufacturers to develop panther specific parts.
It is possible to determine if you have a Romeo or Windsor engine by looking at the 8th character in the vehicle's VIN number. A "6" in the 8th character position refers to 4.6L SOHC Windsor produced engines. A "W" refers to 4.6L SOHC Romeo produced engines. Confusing, right? W=Romeo / 6=Windsor.
It’s your you boy here !!! Lol Yup roger that... site works great, thank you sir. My 99 depicted... Romeo in paint code B-2 harvest gold. Thanks brother.
mariano sotas regardless if your 4.6 came from the Romeo plant or Windsor plant, it is part of the ford modular engine family along with the 5.4 and 6.8
Just looked up '11 Vic and I have a Romeo engine, was actually surprised living in Edmonton Alberta, that it wasn't from Windsor Ontario. There's also a badge on my block from Ford saying it was rebuilt in the USA towards the end of 2016, about a year before I bought it. The fella I got it from buys and sells them, he said over the years he sold over a hundred of them by that point, paid 2700$ for the one I got but it was the nicest one of the bunch of 7 or 8 he had at the time, even put it on a lift and showed me the undercarriage before buying.
Alberta is the only part of Canada that gives me hope in your country as an American. Not that I've held out much hope for my own country... I remember hanging out with some Albertans at a hostel many years ago in Toronto & they were some wild, good, really funny people.
I read several years ago that the 4.6 had about 9 different blocks and at least 7 different heads. All I know is the first few years they had a LOT of valve seal and timing chain guide issues. Our local LEO car mechanics became experts. Smoke when idling and decelarating. Ive had several.
@@hotrodray6802 yeah, the very first ideation of the 4.6 in the town car and then the crown Vic has issues with the angle that the injectors sprayed fuel into the cylinder. They were spraying at an angle that was causing the fuel to be sprayed directly onto the cylinder walls and it was washing the oil off and causing premature wear.
They have had issues with timing chains throughout the years of the 4.6. I was looking at an 04 with 119k and when you hit the throttle and the rpms were coming down you could hear the chain rattle. Instead of the chain tensioner using oil pressure they should have used spring tension.
The very first year of the 4.6 in the town car had a bell housing bolt pattern the same as the 5.0 and 5.8 the next year they changed it to the newer style.
I've built both rangers with a friend and stock v stock the triton (Romeo for Canada) makes more power and torque stock but tuned and bolt ons depends on what you do
Im doing a timing chain and a clutch job in my mustang since the fork in my failed while i was in the middle of nowhere and i had to drive 6k rpm going 35 for 2 hours
Just bought the best automotive purchase of my life 2 days ago. 2004 mercury grand marquis ls premium with 132k and all original documents. Including sticker tag. Had been garaged its whole life and owned by a widow in Michigan. Immaculate shape. Only paid $2500 for it. Runs like a raped ape!
I need to put a new timing chain on my 2001, so I researched all this on Tuesday. Romeo has three bolts in chain guide, Windsor two. 01GS and 00LS both Romeo
What about a 2005 mercury grand marquis? Additionally did they shared the same engine with the 98 mustang gt, because they technically both engines made closed to 224 hp? And what about the f150 98 XLT for same engine or different?
Back in the 60-70 time period there was a real difference between 351 engines produced in Windsor and those coming out of Cleveland. The Cleveland engines had bigger ports, valves and other internals resulting in more power. The difference wasn't always clear though, as a car would just say 351 on the side. So whether a car came with Cleveland or Windsor engine became a real issue. But I've never heard of any significant difference between Cleveland and Romeo.
Think that was years ago during the Grand Torino’s and Boss M. Mustangs . I personally had a 72 Torino with a 351 Windsor. Take care brother. Good? Thought.
I just picked up a 2009 Grand marquis with 148000 KM... i did not know there was 2 different ford 4.6l..im learning. I looked it up and i have romeo engine in mine.
where is it stamped on the motor?theres some printed tags on it but dont know what they stand for,guy i bought it from says its a 2007 p71 motor and transmission,and its seized,i havent checked just got it yesterday.
this is random question, but have you ever had a blown spark plug? if so how do i go fixing that do i fix the one it blow out or have them all done on a 4.6l v8
I'm interested in the actual differences between the engines but I've always been proud my engine was made in Detroit. I know it realistically makes zero difference but it makes me think of the heritage of Detroit and all the famous war-winning and continent-eating engines that came out of there. It's really just nostalgia but I'm still happy I got one of the last of the classics in my vic
I know sounds crazy but i'm saving mine . i put 400 miles on it last year lol . I know its not a mustang or something like that . I can tell you though at lest here in TN nice ones that are clean like mine are getting harder and harder to find.
@@carlbutcher9854 I grew up around Grand Marquis,Crown Vics,Town Car.I have alot of Love 4 these car I am planing on getting one a 2011 Police interceptor.I curently own a 1989 Town Car 5.0 its Great never had an issue regular maintace thats it.
Want to get bothered even more? The vast majority of "Windsor" 5.0 and 351 engines were actually made at Ford Engine Plant #1 in Cleveland, Ohio. The "Cleveland" V8 had a short production life, Ford had two assemblies in Cleveland. From 1970 to 2001, they made 302, 351 and later 5.0 engines at Plant #1, right next to the airport. So if you have a 351 Windsor in your F150 or a 5.0 in your Foxbody, your Windsor engine was built in... Cleveland.
Back in tha day, Cleveland 351ci motors, were the main sought after motors no matter what Ford you drove. I had a '73 Maverick with one in it backed by a built C6 with a 410 posi rear-end. Loved taking it to Bithlo Florida Raceway on the weekends. Man! I Miss Those Days!!!
Windsor built 4.6s are better..It has different rods and internals.. you can simply look on the engine cam covers along with wiring covers and blocks are stamped.
Not sure which is better today, but in the past the windsor was very superior. Your 220 V8 and 260 and 289 and 302 and 351W were windsor engines and its a known fact from the 1960s on through the 1980s those 302 windsors were superior to anything made in america My 02 f150 4.6 is a windsor and my 05 lincoln town car is the 4.6 romeo
None had factory duels police or civilian without an h pipe unless done aftermarket. I went to straight duels in my 2nd panther car, yeah that was reminded within a month with an h. Sounded like my buddies old 72 LeMans and actually less responsive than when it was single factory. Even NASCAR's use a x pipe to balance the exhaust between the banks. An h is slightly cheaper and no real difference unless your really adding serious power.
@@ambush8502 Was it purchased new of the lot this way and what year? No H pipe is both notably louder(drone) and would not be identical hp/tq mpg to those with.
So you could just tell by the the vin number. If it starts with 1 it was built in the States (Romeo). If it starts with 2 it was built in Canada (Windsor).
It does not matter where the car is built, it matters which engine plant the engine came from. Most if not all Crown Vic's have Romeo regardless if they are Canadian or US built.
Forged pistons and rods, the stock (cast? hypereutectic?) don't like boost much in stock 2V 4.6 engines. The stock cast crank is fine. Blower cams would probably help too, but aren't needed.

From what ur sayin da Romeo Engine is far superior & Thank You Father in Thy Name of Jesus dat my recently acquired 2002 Crown Victoria LX Sport has a Romeo!!!👏😏👏
Ford has been using "Romeo's" and "Windsor's" in the F150's since 1997. You also can't swap the Intakes from a Windsor to a Romeo. It will leak water in the back right corner where the Intake meets the head.
Radwan Hayek the funny thing is there not one on my block from what I can see. The one I’m looking for it on is a 2008 crown Victoria interceptor. My 2001 I still have has it on the block. Maybe I’m just not seeing it on my 08 idk
Spoiler alert if any1 reading this b4 watching the whole video one is aluminum block ( i think romeo & its a 6bolt main) & the other (maybe windsor or other) is iron block. Major difference 😆. I still see older models well some with the wire throttle body.. Not all those mr.random lol

It is possible to determine if you have a Romeo or Windsor engine by looking at the 8th character in the vehicle's VIN number.

if you did light moding, the windsor could have loads of torque since its for trucks
No. That’s not how it works it still has a crown Vic intake cam. Not F-150 Intake cam
@@brandonflatt9577 and that's why you swap it in lol
The 4.6 Windsor's in the trucks had different cams then the car cams so that's probably why the truck Windsor motors have a little more torque
my 2004 lx sport has a romeo built engine, its color is dark Toreador.
You can also just pop off the oil filler cap and check for a cam girdle. The Windsor did not have a cam girdle and the Romeo did.

From what ur sayin da Romeo Engine is far superior & Thank You Father in Thy Name of Jesus dat my recently acquired 2002 Crown Victoria LX Sport has a Romeo!!!👏😏👏
Khalil R. Mercado Windsor can be made into a stronger engine at the end of the day 8 bolt cranks are better
I have Romeo needs painted and a battery
Ford has been using "Romeo's" and "Windsor's" in the F150's since 1997. You also can't swap the Intakes from a Windsor to a Romeo. It will leak water in the back right corner where the Intake meets the head.
That’s not a Romeo vs Windsor issue..that is an npi vs pi issue
Where specifically do I find the w or R on the block
Isaiah Mcknight right on the side
@@Rhayek99 Wow, that's descriptive; You really helped that guy didn't you?
Fiddle I mean shit, it’s literally a massive letter in the side of the block lol
Isaiah...Just get the 8th digit of the VIN# and call your local Ford Dealer. They will tell you.
Radwan Hayek the funny thing is there not one on my block from what I can see. The one I’m looking for it on is a 2008 crown Victoria interceptor. My 2001 I still have has it on the block. Maybe I’m just not seeing it on my 08 idk
I know the 2002 Romeo has some low compression
Iron block all the way
Robert Ginnini yes
Spoiler alert if any1 reading this b4 watching the whole video one is aluminum block ( i think romeo & its a 6bolt main) & the other (maybe windsor or other) is iron block. Major difference 😆. I still see older models well some with the wire throttle body.. Not all those mr.random lol
Omar Armendariz also Windsor is an 8 bolt main they’re better engines
I had a romeo thay shit was bulletproof
