    1983 Mustang 2.3t swap info.

    I would confirm what I said about the EFI tank fitting your car. Maybe someone here or on net can confirm will myself also. I agree with what parts you have posted. As far as dash. I don't know. On my 89 there is not many wires to deal with at the computer that would have to be intergrated into...

    radiator and intercooler

    A Volvo intercooler is good up to 15psi After that plastic could burst. From what I read on internet. Why buy both? Can get resonable price intercoolers on net and reuse you radiator. This what I did. I used mandrel bent exhuast pipe for intercooler. Resonable cost. Stinger site has good list of...

    87 n/a auto to 2.3T 5 speed

    87 turbocoupe is a higher hp turbo motor. Better computer,vam etc. Only bad thing is IHI turbo. Can't be boosted past 20psi near as I can remember. Only building heat then and is overspeeded. But face it most of us won't go that high unless major modification. Head porting, etc.

    87 n/a auto to 2.3T 5 speed

    Will need downpipe from turbo. Save your fuel rail from the Mustang. The 86 is differant. Get the Map/Bap sensor from the turbo car. Some say same as yours some some say differant. I side on maybe differant so why not get it and install. Reuse motor mounts from the Mustang. Will need to convert...

    1987 fox 2.3 5speed to Auto swap

    Going by the 89 mustang I have. I went to c-4 from the factory 4 speed auto. Computer is differant for the 4th speed auto and I think lockup of convertor. There is a extra wire at bellhousing area. Does your radiator have oil cooler lines or put in separate cooler. Differant flywheel forgot what...

    Desperate need of front sump oil pan

    Another idea if can't find one. Cut a major chunk of another pan with the drain fitting in it. Cut same chunk out out of yours. Weld in new chunk. This should spread the stress out to large enough area to solve problem. I agree best if could find pan but I haven't seen a pinto in years. I have...

    Interior ?s

    Dash bolts in differant at windshied. Notice that when had a 89 and 86 apart. Wiring maybe differant also in this area. Also duct work on heat/ac may be differant. On the power windows look at wiring maybe a harness separate so you swap it out. I not sure of this.

    Now this is how I solved this on my 89 turbo Mustang. You can get a lower temp range one wire sensor from Vintage Air. A little pricey but available at lower temps. Also mine was burnt out where the fan pull current thu the board. I installed a relay outside the board. Ran the coil voltage to...
