If money wasn't a problem

[MarauderMark]

If You had the money to build your Marauder any way you wanted how would you build it?
All motor?
Blown? if so what would you use ?
Would you use twin turbos?
Would you change the motor to something else?
Automatic or stick?
What gears?
Would it be your everyday driver or weekends/for fun?
Just curious as to what some of ya'll could think of..Thanks.

[KillJoy]

5.4 Liter
Roots Blower
700 RWHP
10" Rear Wheels w/ 315s
14" Brakes Front / 13" Brakes Rear

That's about all for now!:banana2:

Money no object???


I'd take it to a NASCAR garage and tell them to make a suspension that I could live with on the road but still be able to scorch a track with. Yes, I said MAKE.

After that the shop would be instructed to find way to make the car more slippery using very unobvious methods.

I'd take it to an engine shop and have the thing bullet proofed, balanced, bored and anything else that they could do to get it ready for a turbo charged application. If they said, "Hey, why would you want to do that to a 4.6 when we could get a bigger engine in there without changing the hood?" I'd say, "GO FOR IT!"

Then they would be instructed to install a twin turbo set up to die for. It would have to run through a new K-member and it would have to be tuneable from the cockpit. My thinking is that they might be able to find some room down below for a taller engine if a new K-member were built but I'm not sure.

Next stop is a tranny shop. I'd be looking to have something along the lines of a paddle shift tranny built. If not that then something like a tiptronic. Said tranny would need to handle a lot of power and have 3 modes. RELAXED, FUN and ALL OUT RACE.

On to the rest of the drivetrain. Biult rear end with an air actuated locker, high performance drive shaft, high performance brakes all the way around.

I wouldn't do anything with the tub. I might, just might, look to have a body shop flare the rear wells a bit so that I could have the rims widened by more than the 1.5 that most of the Trilogy guys go with.

Since staying stock is no longer important I would have a honeycomb grill made. I would install a unity light on the drivers side. I would put the antenna farm on the trunk lid. I would put dummy rear deck lights in. The Merc badges would have to go. A PI sticker would go on the rear bumper. Basically I would give it the old "CVPI" treatment to really improve on the Crown Vic Effect.

Inside the cockpit would go a GPS nav system, all working gauges and a better sound system.

If You had the money to build your Marauder any way you wanted how would you build it?
I'd keep it exactly that way it is and go buy a boat. ;) If the S.O.B. wants a S/C, he's gonna have to get it himself. :rofl: Don't think that this question hasn't been raised at my house several times before ........ :D

[LordVader]

:rolleyes: Hmmm...I would definitely go with a blower (Trilogy), new chip, CAI, 4:10's, widened rims, new brakes, stall converter, driveshaft and loop, kooks headers/exhaust and finally a new black/pearl paint job with an OEM spoiler on the back. Just a few little things to make it all better!!!

Add a bulletproof trans, rear-end, and axels and that will about do it...

...Other than twin Vulcan Mini-Guns for slow-in-the-right-land-lane Volvos and Subarus!

:D

[TooManyFords]

I'd probably go and get me one of those big GMC 6-71 Blowers, all polished up and put it on a totally forged motor and throw a squeeze of Nitrous at it while I'm in the motor.

Then I'd have a bullet-proof axle done with that slick Auburn ECTEC locker with 31-spline Moser axles made. Cap it with a shiney hiney and then tub the crap out of it. Have some Marauder rims widened to about 18 inches and some really fat Mickeys mounted and slammed into the weeds.

Then I'd have the most awesome paint job done that just left jaws in the dust. I might even get a custom plate done for it too.


Oh wait.. I'm already doing all of this!!!


I guess I'd look for a better sound system then.

:D

[Marauder2005]

(All from factory) 5.4 3V, w/ roots blower. 450HP will do it.

Stock gods head badges------Id be happy :)

[dwasson]

Trilogy, Naake, Wilwood, better stereo.

[Smokie]

If money wasn't a problem......

I don't know....:dunno: after 32 years of marriage; I'm not able to grasp the concept.:corner:

[Zack]

Id put a Vortech on it.
Afterall, I DO want to go fast.

I know his feeling all so well........don't ask me how.......:lol:

[Paul T. Casey]

Sean Hylan 5.3, n/a, stock gear ratio, 31 spline axles, maybe a Tremec, and a black paint job that would scare.

[SergntMac]

The new Chevrolet engine in the Z06 Thanks, Jason.

Ummm...So...Why?

[SergntMac]

Ummm...Maybe I'd do a little exploring too...Maybe try adding those sweet 3V heads to my mouse motor 281 CID...

Maybe I'd call it my LS-8 just for funnies...

[SergntMac]

WTF is that anyway, Merc? What does it have to do with us here?

[Tallboy]

I would do exactly what I've done so far. I am far from being a wealthy man, but money is not an issue with the Marauder [Dual Income-No Kids=plenty o' extra cash!] If the Marauder wants it, it gets it.

"It places the lotion in the basket..."

[merc]

WTF is that anyway, Merc? What does it have to do with us here?

Q.)If You had the money to build your Marauder any way you wanted how would you build it?

A.)With a race motor like this
http://www.mercurymarauder.net/showcase/files/2/3/8/turbo.jpg

Q.)All motor?

A.)Turbo

Blown? if so what would you use ?

Q.)Would you use twin turbos?

A.) Yes

Q.)Would you change the motor to something else?

A.) A mod motor would work for me.

Q.)Automatic or stick?

A.) Automatic 2 speed.

Q.)What gears?

A.) I don't know


Q.)Would it be your everyday driver or weekends/for fun?

A.) Weekend track duty only

Just curious as to what some of ya'll could think of..Thanks.

[Rider90]

I would purchase a second Marauder, and do whatever it takes to power it by a Twin-Turbo Cummins Diesel.

[Smokie]

Ok, ok I'll play.....This is what I want in my Marauder, N/A twin 4 barrels:


THE 427 SOHC
Finally the most powerful and exotic engine was the 427 SOHC
Aluminum heads with hemispherical combustion chambers and
opposed valves actuated by roller rockers riding on a single
camshaft located in the center of each head. The SOHC was
never put into a regular vehicle and was only offered as a over-
the-counter option for $2500. The well design of the SOHC
made it so powerful that competitors protested to racing
associations and within two years had the engine factored out of
competition. The SOHC used a special side-oiler block. With
12:1 compression this motor with one 4 barrel Holley made 616
horsepower @7000 rpm and 515 lb-ft of torque @3800 rpm.
Two different 427 Blocks were made the side-oiler and the
center-oiler. The center-oiler is similar to the regular 390 H.P.
oiling system. However the side-oiler was Fords block of choice
for high performance engines. The side oiler was developed for
the SOHC 427. The side-oiler worked by copying the oil pattern
to the first main bearing on all main bearings by means of a oil
passage down the left side of the block. The diagonal passages
drilled through the left side of the block connect this side gallery
with the rest of the oiling system This system ensures that the
main and cam bearings receive oil pressure directly from the oil
pump. The center oiler fed the front main bearings first and
allowed the other mains to take what was left over. Thereby
providing only one bearing with direct oiling unlike the side
oiler which provided all bearing a source directly off of the oil
pump.
Because of the large 4.23-inch bore on the 427, problems arose.
To deal with this the 427 was cast on a special line. Two feeler
probes were inserted through core holes to water jackets to align
two cylinders. This aligned the block better allowing for more
consistent cylinder wall thickness. In 1966 the cylinders were
strengthened by increasing the thickness of the cylinder walls at
the outside corners. This helped to strengthen the block and
helped prevent cylinder wall failure.
This special locating method was used because the FE has a
4.63-inch spacing between bores. Assuming a near perfect
casting took place minimum cylinder wall thickness was limited
to .110-inch which left .180-inch for the coolant flow. Recent
improvements in high performance blocks could have been used
to siamese the cylinder walls making a even stronger block .The
427 was highly spoken of frankly you cant improve upon [the
427] factory performance like you can with other stock engines
because the 427 was designed and built for high performance.
The 427 had a 4.23-inch bore and a 3.78-inch stroke.The same
stroke as a 390. As a side note since not all 427's were given
steel cranks a 391 industrial crank can be machined to give
either a regular 390 or a 406/427 a steel crank

[Paul T. Casey]

I just worry that the turbo/supercharger whine would drown out the lilting tones of the cam chains. I just love that sound.

[Joe Walsh]

Cost no object???

Twin Turbo SHM 6.0 DOHC with a 6 speed.

License plate would read: SIKRIDE

BTW: 427 SOHC and merc's race engine are close seconds, along with a 605 cid BOSS...heh heh heh

Jeez....Money isn't an issue, and I have exactly what I want. Some of you have too much time! Why would you fudge up a perfectly good daily driver and build a loud, and unruley car with drivability issues just to go fast? If you have unlimited money, buy your stock car. I hate to be criticle, its so unlike me, but its a ridiculous question and waste of computer memory. None of us has unlimited money, so why speculate. If you want to go fast for under 40K, get an automatic 04 Mach 1, install the 2.3L Kenny Belle blower, 100 shot of NOS, drag radials, maybe a couple suspension tweeks and you will be running low 10s like Lidio is doing with his White 2004 Mach 1, and I will be following suite with my Blue 2004 Mach 1 (all for under $40,000). How fast do you want to go? Beat that with your butched up $200,000 Nascar Marauder.

[Blackened300a]

Full Repaint, Complete Stereo sound system, The Light up Marauder Bumper cover and hood scoop, Full Engine port, polish and boring ,All the go fast goodies but even with all the money,

The Car would remain N/A. I would like it more to pull impressive HP numbers and 1/4 times on Motor alone

Don't forget to add in $$$ for a complete engine rebuild when you blow it up.
I think that Lidio got a few runs before the OEM engine grenaded.

Lid got agressive on it...but I forget what the snafu was. Something didnt work or something and he kept in it. I learn from Lidios mistakes. With the success with Menanol tuning, it will be much safer than his setup was when the motor went.

[94_302]

I was about to post this exact same question up today. Anyways here it goes.
Exterior:
Dark Shadow Gray or True Blue
OEM Spoiler
2 inch cowl, maybe a little smaller something that is noticable but not too big
HID's
Stock rims sized 20x10 up front 20x10.5 outback
Interior:
Roll cage that has leather wrapped around the bars so it does not look like a drag car.
Seats that offer a little more bolstering but oem look
Extra gauges molded into the dash facing the driver.
Drivetrain:
bullet proof 6 speed paddle shift.
Ford 9 inch built.
Either a fully built and stroked 5.4 dohc with TT.
Or this......
http://bradbarnett.net/mustangs/concept/10boss/boss5.jpg
The 10.0L 429 Boss motor that made 855 hp and 795 tq
Suspension:
Probably take it to hotchkis and tell them I want it to handle better than a Ferrari.
A custom big brake kit, maybe 16 inch rotors.
Other Toys:
Flame thrower kit
Suicide doors out back
Both of those would be to try and capture an old muscle car feel.
Ejector seat
Machine guns that go in front of the fogs when needed
And Completely armored
Ok those may sound a little too James Bond like but hey money is no object so there you have it. :D

Edit: I forgot to add I would chop the top a little. I really think it would capture a hotrod look.

[juno]

I would build a forged motor with twin turbos, upgrade the tunes, suspension, brakes and look for some type of 4wd system, something with 70-80 rear 20-30 front. It would be nice if I could get a 5 speed auto in there. And perfect paint. :fire:

Then I would go looking for some porches, and lambs, and a DB 8 to run against. :cool:

[JACook]

Being pretty much an engine guy at heart, if I were given a blank check, I'd start by fixing the one thing that has
hobbled what is an otherwise excellent engine architecture. (Right after I got to spend some quality one-on-one
time with the empty suits that were responsible for the flaw in the first place.)

I would stretch the mod motor's bore spacing, say, to about 4.5". I'd keep the 4.6 deck height, or maybe just
a bit more, but not so tall as the 5.4. The stretched bore spacing would allow up to a 4.25" siamese bore. With
a 3.75" stroke, you'd finally have displacement worthy of the 4-valve modular heads. A "big-block" modular, if
you will. Figure 500-550 lb/ft and HP to match, with all the smoothness and manners of the 4.6.

A power adder would then kick it up to just about stupid enough for my liking. :D

Oh, and I'd back mine with a 5-speed...

[rayjay]

1) Call DR to order parts, ensure availablitity
2) Drive to Florida
3) Have every part in the DR Marauder catalog installed by DR Automotive
4) :D
5) Purchase and wear the total body armor suit I'll need when I take a butt whoopin from the wife...

[MI2QWK4U]

HEY hey hey...no back talk to a mod, K?

Thats your job if i remember correctly. Besides, he wasnt refering to me, I dont blow my stuff up.

[duhtroll]

This is also what I was thinking -- with dyno tune of course.

Art Carr trans.
4.10s
totally indestructible rear end
sway bars, metco control arms, driveshaft
widened wheels/295s
TAF's custom exhaust
Custom paint job - stock except for roof or hood which would have "jolly roger" skull/crossbones.

Oh yeah, and Jessica Alba chained in the back. With wet bar instead of passenger seat.



Blown, Ford ohc 427CID

[duhtroll]

Wait - scratch that.

I'd paint the whole thing bright Purple, get some 22" spinners, and 47 halogen lights to go with my purple neons underneath . . .

The biggest quadruple pink wing anyone EVER saw.

Get me a sub box bigger than the trunk, and a hydraulic bouncing front end.

Then I'd tune it WAY down to quiet that noisy V8 - better yet replace it with a V6 that's quiet. Muffle the crap out of it.

Then I'd crank out some BoyzIIMen.

Yo.

Of course, I'd need a new wardrobe.

[ckadiddle]

I'd just have it trucked up to Reinhart Automotive, tell Dennis to keep it looking mostly stock but spare no expense mechanically and indulge himself otherwise and call me when it's done. Oh yeah, afterward I'd call Tire Rack and put in my order for an entire trainload of whichever rear tires I end up with. Gonna need em.

yea nice peice:up:
Its 5.4-litre capacity, 32 valves and double overhead camshafts per bank therefore work in concert to produce 290 kilowatts of power and a phenomenal 520 Newton metres of torque. So not only is there free-revving top-end power but a wall of torque at low speeds as well. In combination with the tuned stainless steel exhaust system, it produces the trademark rumble that lets you know you're driving a real, blue-blooded Aussie V8. It has a quality that clearly communicates who exactly owns the road.

[MI2QWK4U]

I guess the reason escapes me. Why would you want to take a very nice luxurious sedan and turn it into something it was never intended to be? I agree with things like adding a base OEM Ford-like supercharger, maybe some brakes, exhaust and tunes, but nos, rebuilt motors, and other over the top stuff dont make sense on a car like the Marauder. You want to go fast, buy a car that was made to go fast, like a Mach 1 or Shelby GT500. I will be honest, I think I crossed my own line in the sand with my Marauder sometimes, but since the drivability is still intact where the wife can drive it safely, I guess I didnt cross it, but I am right on it. Anything more would tip the scales. I have nothing to prove, no one I consider important enough here to impress.

[magindat]

Full body-off. Filled and powder-coated frame. All front-end aluminum polished. Motor painted and polished. Air-Ride Technologies suspension (polished, of course). Filled, shaved, trued body. Even better and deeper paint fully rubbed out. Same rims, maybe wider. Full plexi/mirrored sub box. Interior aluminum pieces painted to match exterior. Polished control arms. Powder-coated axle. Carbon fiber driveshaft. Full go-fast blower package from Dennis (polished). Billet God's head badge treatment. Full lighting treatment: underbody, custom exterior, trunk, interior - all LED (for the shows).
A ticket to Boyd Coddington's shop to show him who's the REAL BADA$$.
A trailer for all the awards.

:rolleyes: Right back at cha, Big Guy !! :rolleyes:

[Eric91Z]

This is easy. No mater how much money I had, this is what I would do if I could afford it:

1) Ship to Lidio to bullet proof the motor and breathe some life in the heads
2) Trilogy with smaller pulley or PTS turbo setup
3) Full Kooks headers, x-pipe, and rest of exhaust
4) Full Naake, Addco, and Metco pieces
5) 4.10 gears (maybe) and strengthen rest of rear end
6) bullet proof tranny with cooler
7) Widened stock rear wheels with Nitto DR's
8) Metal Matrix driveshaft
9) TCE Big Brake upgrade front and rear
10) Factory rear spoiler
11) Repaint in that beautiful dark silver posted in another post with the S55 taillight/backup light treatment
12) Full working gauges - tranny temp, oil pressure, volt, boost, and fuel pressure
13) Upgrade stereo system
14) Custom 19" Fikse Profil 5 wheels (http://www.fikse.com/profil5.html) - for more brake clearance

I figure that takes a good car from the factory and makes it would it could be without giving up the ride, reliability, and enjoyment. Plus, I could put the spank down on cars like the BMW M5, Mercedes S65, and other top line sedans that are reliable, but powerful at the sime time. And still fly under the radar for the most part.

I deefinitely wouldn't get rid of the car or go with something else. I really love this car. It's a definite keeper. Besides, I "fit" in it nicely.
