Mercury's Grand Marquis and its fraternal twin, the Ford Crown Victoria, provide the second application for Ford's new all-aluminum, 32-valve, dual-cam 4.6-liter V8. For the Grand Marquis, it's originally tuned to deliver 190 horsepower at 4250 rpm and 265 pound-feet of torque at 3250 rpm. Those desiring a little more performance can order the optional dual exhaust, which ups the engine's output to 210 horsepower at 4250 and 275 pound-feet at 3250. Marquis gained 20 horsepower in 2001. For '03 the Marauder got a dual-cam version of the V8 with 302 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. All engines mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission.
