    Suspension 5.0 vs. 2.3

    I'm doing the front 11" brake swap. That will allow me to use the V8 front struts. What conversion do I have to do to use the V8 rear struts on the 2.3? I'm looking at a KYB AGX setup (front-734013, rear-743020)...

    Suspension 5.0 vs. 2.3

    After searching the forum, I found some good info regarding the differences between the 5.0 and the the 2.3 suspension. The post below has a lot of great info. Maybe we should hack some of this info into a sticky FAQ? One answer I didn't get is regarding the rear setup. Can I use V8 struts...

    Starting Problems

    So I found what I believe is the starter. I traced a positive lead around the engine. (did i mention that I'm not a mechanic). When you turn the key, it clicks once, and does not rotate. You can tell it's trying, because the wires attached to it kind of jibble when you try to turn it over...

    Starting Problems

    I just picked up my NA 2.3L LX today :) The car started up on the lot after sitting about a week. It drove good on the test drive. I drove it home (about 25 miles), parked it, then went out to dinner with friends. It's been about 5 hours since I got home, and now the car won't start. It...

    2.3 NA Transmission Compatibility

    My only problem is, since I'm going 5.0 later in life, I don't want to spend a lot of money on rear end parts (lsd, 4:10, etc) then have to buy all of those parts again when I go 8.8. I'm sure I can find some used parts on eBay.

    2.3 NA HP Ranges

    Thanks for the help. I don't plan on putting much effort into the 2.3, but I would like to get a little more out of it since I have to use it. As for suspension I'm going to use KYB AGX struts and then a basic coilover setup. I don't know all of the details. Mark Utecht is helping me...

    2.3 NA Transmission Compatibility

    I guess I should have made my intentions a little more clear. I don't own the 2.3 yet, so I'm not completly sure how everything works or is attached. I will be building this into a Rally car to compete in the Rally America Central Region Championship. There is a provisional period for new...

    2.3 NA Transmission Compatibility

    I've seen some articles on how to swap to a T5. But before I decide to swap, I'd like to know what the stock tranny is in the 87-93 2.3L NA. Also what is the rearend? 8.8? 28 spline? What preformance parts are available for it? LSD/Posi?

    2.3 NA HP Ranges

    It seems that the HP ratings range form 88HP-105HP between 1987 & 1993. Was this acomplished in ECU programming? Can you just swap ECU's to get the HP's out of an '89? If so, what is the computer code?

    Pace Car Spoiler

    It looks like it attaches in the same way as the standard spoiler. However, if you look close, it looks more like a "duckbill" spoiler, like on the eleanor kits.
