    electric fan/alternator for 84 svo

    Pretty much, Make sure to get the single wire plug from the Taurus with some lenth to it so you have something to work with. You can re-use one plug on your car now. The two heavy wires can be turned into the 4 gauge and the other little wire from that plug goes right to the single wire one you...

    electric fan/alternator for 84 svo

    Why not grab a 130A alt off the Taurus and do a little grinding and a few minutes of wiring. If interested the Taurus comes with 2 different cases on the 130 you will need the smaller one it is like 6 inches bolt hole to bolt hole and the other one is 7 inches. They can be found in early to late...

    2.3 turbo-2.3 SVO clone?

    WTF!!! Now he won't sell it to you. What a jerk! Maybe you will find something else as nice. I think you should buy a 87-90 Mustang (mentioned above I think) and get a Turbocoupe and swap drivetrain. If you have ever swapped a motor you can do this with ease. The hard part is finding the donor...

    What kind of new tires

    They don't last long on a turbo car, I know that for sure!! I get a new set every year or two. I like nice new tires too though. I hit the slopes all winter long as well. I have run Coopers and well as the Hankook's which I prefer because they are a little more of an aggressive tire which helps...

    Is This A Rare Car?

    The t-tops I think make's it even more rare. This link shows a production of 3,386 that year but does not break it into t-tops unless they all came that way. http://www.mustanggt.org/gtnumber.htm#other As far a mechanical problem that is all the more reason to grab it up..

    2.3 turbo-2.3 SVO clone?

    If you have the money and it runs good I would ****** that one up. Of course try to chew them down a little. I just drove the 80 Cobra, lot's of fun, they get a lot of attention especially when they are stock with the lime green (they came in other colors as well) stripes on a black car. I see...

    need help asap

    I had another thought as well. I got called out to a friend's house one time to work on a 2.3 Ranger that fried a bunch of electrical stuff. Turns out when they changed the starter (original problem) the little connection at the end of the positive wire at the starter had bent and was grounding...

    need help asap

    It sounds like your positive cable to the starter was grounding out. The positive cable is strapped to the engine via an insulated bracket in a couple different spots. On a 15+ year old car stuff get's brittle. I would replace all of the cables for peace of mind.

    89 2.3 n/a won't start

    TFI module on the side of the distibutor. Very common on these cars. You will need to get the tool to change it or grind down a socket to do it I think it is like a 1/4 inch or something like that not positive though. It may start back up if it sits for s while but it will do the same thing...

    Turbo motor question??

    You can keep it auto but plan to change soon if you are looking for HP. As far as the computer, there are some you can use and when you change to a 5 speed you can still use the same computer. I think it is the la2 but someone will correct me if I am wrong.
