“It will not be an ideal car in any way,” he says. He wanted something new, fresh, exciting, and interesting.
But what the so-called Meteor Interceptor has been able to do is get attention, with thousands following along on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube. It won’t be much good in any kind of sanctioned racing, won’t be the best looking custom build, and will require a lot of specialty work from mechanics trained on the 60-year-old engine. Some probably wonder why Werner would bother building such a ridiculous ride. After all, the Crown Vic was never meant for that kind of speed. Werner is sure the finished machine will be capable of running way past 200 mph mark, but he’s not gonna push it. Instead, he wants to take it on a high-speed run to over 200 mph. Even if he found tires that could handle a hard launch from this engine, that would just lead to busted transmissions, even with military-spec upgrades to the TH400 transmission. Werner’s not interested in making it a drag racer. Enjoy and have a nice weekend 😃 #themeteorinterceptor #rollsroycemeteor #crownvictoria #policeinterceptor #percusabĪ post shared by The Meteor Interceptor on at 8:07am PDT Some final welding left to do, and then they are ready for action. Now the exhaust manifolds are almost finished. This won’t be a long-distance cruiser, though: Left running for more than a few minutes, the Meteor will boil all its coolant. Fuel will be supplied by two massive injectors for each cylinder, capable of supplying a total of 24 liters of fuel per minute without stuttering. Redline is currently at 3000 rpm, but he’s working on getting the massive engine to scream all the way to 4000. Now, he’s working on fitting a Chevy C10 truck front end to cope with the weight. He started out adapting parts from a C4 Corvette, then scrapped that plan.
The front end of the car wasn’t built for the massive tank engine, so Werner started adding parts to support it. Perfect.Įven a Crown Victoria has a weight limit. Lucky for Werner, he found a 2006 Ford Police Interceptor imported from Stockton, California. He needed something cheap, easy, and body-on-frame. He wanted an old Rolls-Royce, but any sturdy example was too expensive to justify cutting up. And with the help of two of the biggest turbochargers on the market and a custom ECU (the Meteor originally had magneto ignition), he thinks he’s gonna get it.īut if a Bugatti is pushing the limit with 1500 horses, finding a suitable platform for the 2500-hp Meteor became its own challenge. Meteors make about 550 hp from the factory Merlins can get close to 2000. Werner also considered the Merlin-the aerospace version of the Meteor, with a supercharger and a different camshaft-but even that wasn’t going to make the power he wanted. Since Sweden hasn’t had much need for tanks in the past decades, the country always has surplus engines. The 37-liter Griffon was too unwieldy and could be tough to come by in the region, but Meteor-powered Swedish tanks were comparatively plentiful. He knew he needed to scratch that itch, so he started searching for a suitable engine. Living in Sweden, a country dominated by 2.0-liter hatchbacks and tight emissions controls, Werner was always enamored with big-engine forbidden fruit-V-8 muscle cars, sure, but also wilder stuff. This is more just, I wanted to do this out of pure passion,” Werner told Road & Track. “It’s not an intelligent choice of engine if you want to have 2500 hp and race.
Cooler heads prevailed he went with a comparatively tidy 27-liter Meteor engine from a World War II-era tank. But that’d be ridiculous, far too big for a car. He considered a 37-liter Rolls-Royce Griffon engine, a massive thing plucked from a Spitfire fighter plane. He wanted something no car motor could provide. Not some LS-swapped whatever, big for a Miata but puny on the broad spectrum of internal combustion. Daniel Werner did not want his first engine swap to be tame.
