    speachless...

    This is one case where Im not too upset even though he performed a sacreligious act by putting a GM product in a Mustang and shall henceforth be doomed to burn in hell for his sins... It was a aeronose coupe 4 banger. Nothing too special about it, at least he did not cut up a four eyed Stang...

    straight six swap

    I have a 80 Mustang I6 and a 81 Mustang T-top coupe w/ I6. It does require a I6 K-member. The motor mounts are way forward and the K-Member is a bit deeper. The I6 was offered in 79 1/2 to 82 Mustang's. There are 4 speed I6 cars but most are C4 auto's and the last group, IIRC 82's also...

    2.3 N/A build-up

    You might look at installing a larger throttle body and porting up the intake and port matchinhg it to the head. Biggest boost would be to pull the head and port and polish it and install back cut valves. While the heads off you could also mill the head to bump compression a bit but not...

    Yo "Mr.Woodster"...

    The way I see it, I would not be offended if Stinger or MikeSVOR came over to me and said "Hey you can pick up a few extra HP if you do this like this" I would be pissed off if I had Gio Momma come over and say "Who's the dumb*** who set this up? You cant run that like that, I know because...

    If anyone could be interested

    I remember reading this a while back. Mike has posted about it on here before so someone might do a search and see if its still around. IIRC the thing was the Volvo motor is based off the Ford 2.3L and is used in light tricks and small commercial vehicles. Its no longer identical and has its...

    Whats the secret to getting the lower control arm bolts out?

    Is their a secret Im not aware of that makes it easier to get the lower control arm bolts off the factory stock 25 year old rear end? And what is the recommended prcocedure to get the upper A-arm bushings out? I was thinking a socket just smaller than the opening and whacking it with a...

    turbo probe

    None of the 2nd gen cars were turbo'd. But kits exist to upgrade to a turbo 2.0L. Forged pistons will be needed and thats the tricky part.

    Porting Header???

    Yes as Pro Hawk said porting tubular headers would be a very bad idea other than port matching and I would not do that. Most header tubes are bigger than the exhaust port. Compare your exhaust manifold or header gasket with the exhaust port and the header flange to be sure. As Pro Hawk...

    2.3 carb question

    I think you have a Holley 5200. But your carb should not be computer controlled that I am aware of. Just get another carb or rebuild the one you have. The last data I looked at said that the 85 had the Holley 5200 and that 86 had a Holley 5200 or a Carter YF 1 bbl. The computer should...

    Well it is in process, I am down an SVO and a wife

    I can understand why she had to go but why did the SVO have to go? Im sorry about the SVO, Im sure it will be missed. A friends friend signed over his Mustangs to my friend so his soon to be ex-wife couldnt get them.

    what about building a 2.3Turbo

    Forged pistons polish the rods and use ARP rod bolts use high quality bearings like Michigan 77 then route the oil return from the turbo either into oilpan. For the reast use stock turbo parts I dont think you will have a problem

    CCPlates+coil-overs=bad??

    Im guessing that means Crovax is already running Eibach springs.

    I think I bought a Cobra 2.3t?!

    IIRC the Mustang had a 302 in 79 and in 1980 the 255(4.2L) V8 was introduced. It is the red headed bastard stepchild of the Ford smallblock V8 family. The motor was so hated and was a sales loss that Ford brought back the 5.0L in 1982. The carb turbo is not bad, its just misunderstood. It...

    CCPlates+coil-overs=bad??

    Cool. So Sunday I will be looking for Coil springs and parts for complete 8.8" disc brake rear I just got. Doofus drove it with diff cover off and it froze once parked. Im guessing ring & pinion and stock Traction Lock differential at least. Thanks for the info.!

    n/a block different from turbo block?

    The carb turbo has forged internals also. But has 9.0:1 CR with flatop pistons instead of the 8.5:1 CR with dished pistons. You could run the carb turbo on the dished piston block and it will build up less heat due to more volume area but you are still at risk with non forged internals if you...
