first off you dont need the 9" unless you want to spend an extra $1500 for no real reason.

it has been done, no real difference compared to installing a 2V, except for the wiring and trying to run the intake tract the right way. check out Crown Victoria, Grand Marquis, Marauder, and Towncar

Ive got the 9 inch so i was planning on putting that in just for strength and eventually adding more and more to the car.

no advice from me but it sounds like a cool swap, will make a great sleeper. make sure to post a build thread if you build it.
