Just yesterday I started hearing a knock in my engine. As soon as I heard it I got my oil changed and problem remained. Older brother says I need a new engine and I was wondering what it would take to drop a marauder engine in. Will it even work and if so what will I need to do?

Any engine swap is possible as long as you have all the parts and lots of time and money. To put a Marauder engine in, you need the engine, wiring harness, PCM, all the sensors, and lots of time. For that, it is better to have a parts car with a running engine (or not running if you plan to rebuild it) and transmission. If that is the case, you are better off rebuilding the Marauder.

Go checkout www.crownvic.net and see what others have already done.

It's just a SUPER-DUTY Mustang GT Sedan. 198K miles and still rolling HARD.

1997 Crown Victoria P71 SVT *** ex-US Marshall service (the CAR)
STOCK?? I bet it was modified.

13.26 @ 107.24 MPH 1/4 mi w/ me, tools, & full tank of 93 octane

I added CAI, NICHE 19 X 8.5 " wheels with 245/45ZR 19 rubbers, and completely rebuilt the front end with poly bushings, Kooks headers, 2 1/4inch exhaust, TCI 2200-2400 rpm Stall converter

.PLANS:: engine upgrade, 5.4L 2v stroker, rebuild interior in leather w/ buckets, thinking about turbos

Make sure it is an internal engine knock. I have been listening to a knock in my \\'05 P71for about 5 years now. There is an air valve that oscillates intermittently at idle and is an emission controls device. I've also heard it on my Jeep Cherokee and my New Beetle. I'll bet you have the same issue. Could be nothing to worry about, or you could just swap out motors if you have nothing better to do. Then see how many problems you have to fix...
