To answer this myself, we had to use the long block of the PI motor. Using valve
covers, oil pan, oil pick up tube and screen because the size difference, exhaust
manifolds also to hook into Mercury exhaust system. Throttle body, fuel rails from
the Mercury but kept the spark coil packs from crown Vic , although after driving
50 miles it threw a code for catalytic converter which indicates the catalytic
converter is insufficient on bank 2. The engine fit and runs well and in conclusion it
will require a little tune up to get thru emissions test BUT it did work and that was a
junk yard motor, compression tested only
