    engine getting really hot (HELP!!!!)please

    Woodster, it makes no difference on the switch if the relay is bad. The switch can be good and still not kick on a bad relay to turn the fan on. If you ground the switch and it does not come check the relay before replacing the switch.

    Door panel removal

    Get the clips from Ford they are .39 cents if you get them anywhere else they are a buck a piece. You will need a dozen per door. I replace all of them unless they have been replaced recently.

    2.3liter door fix

    Could of dropped the rod off the handle inside or is the handle broken. You can take the door panel off and check it out. They are not real hard to take off and check things out.

    engine getting really hot (HELP!!!!)please

    Those things are famous for not working. Unhook both wires from the fan and hook up power and ground to it. If it starts running it is not the fan but more like a relay. That can be found along side the a/c relay in a relay box under the dash right behind the fuse box, it has a 8 wire connector...

    Transmission/Clutch Problem????

    Does it leak any oil or tranny fluid? Could be a seal leaked and has oiled the disk. But that would not really be an instant thing, you would know something was up before it won't move at all.

    how much for a complete 2.3t swap

    Yeah the wiring is a little more extensive in the 91-93's but you should be able to do this no problem. Just read and read and then read some more. Check out Stinger's website he has all the wiring and swap info that will get you started http://projecthp.ford23.com/

    2.3T 86 or 87?

    Because the 87-88 use the short intakes that say 2.3 on them..

    how much for a complete 2.3t swap

    "Why not Minot, cause freezin's the reason" Completely unrelated but one person will get it. As for Frozen's question, I am sure you will have transmission issue's as well..

    Heater Core Finally

    You may not get all the air through the vents. Some of it will escape out of your hole, you should have covered it.

    how much for a complete 2.3t swap

    No way an R&R on a 2.3 is a 16 hour job. I bet it is not even half that..

    how much for a complete 2.3t swap

    Yeah it would probably cost more than the car is worth just to have a shop do the swap. You are in Florida maybe there are some members here or on turboford that would do it with you for a fraction of what it would cost for a shop to do it. It is something to look into at least.

    Which Clutch Should I get????

    Like I said you will hear good and bad about all the clutches and as for the price for the Spec I guess you could buy it from Spec http://www.specclutch.com/specMain.html the stage 3 is $319. It's a good price if you ever decide you need to run on slicks with 260+HP. It really depends on your...

    swap done now what ?

    Ash, The 83-86 Turbocoupes were 7.5's the 87-88's were 8.8's!!

    swap done now what ?

    Cone filter and turn up the boost to 17-18 (pushing the a4ld a bit) maybe 16. If you have the funds do the 3" downpipe and exhaust. You will want to get rid of the one legger rear end too. You can slap a traction lock differential in there from an Aerostar, Ranger, Turbocoupe and a couple others.

    Sweet deal on tranny

    Sounds like a great deal to me. I bought a really tore up 87 Mustang at an auction for $80. I got a perfect t-5 and new headlights and so much interior stuff that I sold on e-bay. I made over $300 on that car and I had it for 24 hours. I sold it to the local Pull & Save for $50 I like those kind...
