    newb cant find what im lookin for?

    You can checkout this link for all the swap info. http://www.stinger-performance.com/ To effectively do the swap you need to swap the entire long block due to the turbo motors having forged pistons. If its any help I had a nitrous 351 that I removed to reinstall a 2.3 and it went way...

    The green coupe is gone forever....but...

    Thanks. I think it will make a great daily driver again. It will soon have 300k on the clock, run 11's and should still be damn near 30mpg which is where it was before I parked it. I was shooting for that plain ole easy to paint and maintain look that I've never really had in a mustang.

    The green coupe is gone forever....but...

    it hasn't gone too far. Stinger and I spent my spring break sanding and painting it. Due to my time being cut short to work on it we basically prepped and painted the car in 4 days and there were 120 dents or dings that needed attention. Huge thanks to Stinger! Its still not put all...

    moral delema

    Very simply put...up to a certain power level (That I haven't found yet) you can't match me dollar for dollar if building a V8. I did it and swapped back to a 2.3 turbo because it was cheaper and faster. If I had a dollar for every $10000 5.0 that runs 11's I could certainly build another 10...

    Tire Size

    Just for reference... I have pony's on my 88 and I gave $200 for the wheels with tires. $650 I could without a doubt buy take off wheels and switch to 5lug which is way cheaper and easier than you think it might be.

    Timing cover rattle

    T5 Trannies

    I don't consider the V8 T5 as an upgrade at all, its just an option. It has a higher first gear so you can run a little lower rear gear. Strength doesn't come into to play at all if you can drive. My car makes over 400rwhp and the trans has 320k miles and works great. The only reason I'm...

    FMIC for 85 SVO advice wanted

    The volvo cooler is a great/cheap start and will let you run 20-couple psi and make around 300hp before its an issue. If you have big plans later on I would say pickup an npr on ebay. IF you just want to max out all the stock stuff and stay cheap grab a volvo cooler. The downside is that...

    2.3 engine life??

    my daily driver that Stinger and I just painted has 286k on it and I intend to take it on 2000 mile trips anytime I feel the urge. It doesn't even really matter if they've been driven hard the engines will still outlast everything else.

    roll cage advice

    11.50 in the 1/4 in the cutoff but its not enforced very tight at most places. That being said I'm very happy with the cage in mine and think its well worth the time/money. The best route to take is get the jegster 8pt cage which will allow you to safely/legally run down to 10.0 which takes...

    Esslingers Dyno Chart

    Just for reference. When I was 16 I had the local circle track guy who claimed to be a circle track god, price an engine. He said he could get me a 200rwhp for about $5000. I currently have a 10 second street car that I still don't have $5000 total. You're also looking at engines built to...

    Redneck Sledding

    REAL redneck sledding is doing that on a car hood or fender......in the mud in the summer...being pulled by the vehicle you took the off.then putting the hood back on and driving home.

    Will this work?

    I didn't look at the info you posted but it can be made to work. There are currently some prototype engines running around that have tripled their efficiency by using water. As for applying it to any everyday car....let me know how that goes.

    I use an SC Tbody and made a very small very thin aluminum adapter for the tps, so I could run the 2.3 style adjustable tp

    snow kit....any luck??

    I was referring to boost which is already at 27psi. You lost me on the rev limiter though. I can't see where that would have much to do with running methanol or not. Either way I don't have a rev limiter and I think the 8200rpm that I've run it up to is probably as far as I should be going with...

    snow kit....any luck??

    Also my kit brand new, with a case of Snow Boost Juice, and some upgraded parts cost about $500. So its definitely worth you giving it a shot for $200.
