    How much of harness on an 87 Turbo Coupe is needed for a 2.3 swap into another car?

    none of it really. people just need the engine/ecu/vam w-pigtail from the car. at least this is true for the mustangs.

    wasn't aware these are worth so much

    it's going for that much because he can prove that it works. people doing concours restorations on the rarer of the older foxbodies will pay an arm/leg for the harder to find parts that were always tossed. other examples would be like the hatch covers, NOS side graphics, etc.

    Hey 2.3L people...

    you guys must be finding these things in little old ladies garages or something I swear.... your driveshaft will bolt right up to an 8.8" rear. 5lug conversion using ranger/aerostar parts from the u-pull is so cheap to do its not even funny. you're wanting more gas mileage but you're...

    V-Belt to Serpentine Belt Conversion

    I swapped the pulley on my ps pump but did swap everything else out. I did it this way mainly because my ps pump was brand new and the one on the donor car was very questionable at best :nonono:

    Volvo??

    get the radiator, brackets, and hoses if you can. you can just drill holes in the upper core support for those brackets and make lower brackets from stuff from home depot (like shelf supports, etc). cut the hoses to fit and be done. ranger radiators work but they've got goofy attachment...

    I've decided to turbo my n/a 2.3L 91 motor

    you still havent covered what you're going to do about the computer accepting these larger injectors?? you'll need a chip so it accepts them. it wont run for crap otherwise with them considering its setup for like 14lb'ers. is this what this "power commander" thing is? I still think it...

    I've decided to turbo my n/a 2.3L 91 motor

    lol, I live in an apartment complex and have my svo torn down right now in the parking lot... several options for retaining the dual plug head with the swap or just toss a dizzy in the plugged dizzy hole and leave one set of plugs unused. you'd be surprised what you can get on ebay for a DIS...

    I've decided to turbo my n/a 2.3L 91 motor

    because you swap over to vam durrr. hell, do whatever you want man but if you try to run it with the stock electronics you're probably going to blow that engine skyhigh even at low boost. by the time you buy bigger injectors, a chip for the stock ecu, fuel pump, etc. you could have bought...

    I've decided to turbo my n/a 2.3L 91 motor

    considering he'll probably blow the engine anyway without putting an ecu swap on it, I'd say just grab an el cheapo vortec fmu and toss a set of 19lb'er injectors on the engine and see what happens heh. arent stock n/a like 14lb? 19lb should keep the ecu happy and the fmu should be able to...

    The SN65 project car

    those "body in white" chassis's are HARD to get and come completely bare even sans VIN stamps. Now, a pre-build body is another story all together. those do come with VINS but are just a body and sometimes with wiring. stangparts.com has an 05 body in white for sale right now actually.

    Is this a deal on a 84 SVO?

    not only that but the guy IS in spain after all. I would have to think svo's are even a bit more rare over there than here in the states. that will of course affect price as well.

    The SN65 project car

    That looks like speaker connector to me. Dont ask me why they it be right there though unless...Have you already connected the power harnesses for the doors and run them through?? If not then I'm assuming you've also got those harness connectors as well to deal with so I'd say just grab one of...
