    My 2.3L N/A Project

    I sense a lil bit of sarcasm some where in there...People, junk yards, and patience. Unfortunetly with me I am a "Lets do it while I am at it" type person, so a 1,800 dollar (everything) project will turn into over 4K. But I am guessing before it is over with, I'll have more than enough power to...

    My 2.3L N/A Project

    I was referring to HP not weight so where does "1/4 ton" fit in all this? At what cost? 5.0L mustangs sell normally at 4K and that is for what 14.7 in a 1/4. Anything faster than that is going to cost. Hell the new 05 mustang can do 13.5 in a 1/4 and cost 25K. Actualy your average 2.3L is not...

    My 2.3L N/A Project

    Notice I said roughly... And when the hell did I say all that? Or even imply that you would get loads of horsepower from an N/A 2.3L All I said is doing a 2.3L N/A would be neat, and different I didn't say you would get blistering high HP ratings. Your also forgetting a couple of other things...

    My 2.3L N/A Project

    Well initially I find your story of having 120 to the wheels and getting high 17s hard to believe considering a 2002 cavalier has similair weight to a 4cly. mustang, and produces 150HP to the crank which is roughly 120HP to the wheels and pops 16.2 in the 1/4 mile, hell the auto cavalier will...

    My 2.3L N/A Project

    Well there is a couple of things to consider here, some I won't go over, but I will say this, have an automatic transmision in the variable really kills your 1/4 mile times.

    My 2.3L N/A Project

    Well if he decides to do a port and polish on the head, depending on what kind of P&P and mechanic, it can be done cheaply. Personally I am doing a N/A project, and NA i am building will blow the doors off most V8s and turbo 2.3L.

    My 2.3L N/A Project

    Neh I wouldn't. I have seen a couple. Sure it isn't cost effective, but he said money didn't matter and even if it isn't cost effective it still is neat because much isn't around.

    My 2.3L N/A Project

    I have bought plenty of things from ebay that are in good shape, besides the kits included everything and were new. Too bad they don't have any kits on there at the moment. No doubt stroker kits sell for 3 to 4k but hey they also sell for less and that was the point I was trying to make. Also...

    My 2.3L N/A Project

    Esslinger does a 2.8L kit? At any rate their 2.5L kits are like 625 bucks, and I have seen good quality kits sell on ebay for 300. Hey listen man if you want to do a N/A project, do IT! You will beat most things on the road, have something different and you said money didn't matter. I myself...

    15.3 doesn't sound right

    Now AOD is the automatic tranny right? I know I have heard AOD from somewhere before. As for the weight, there is some despute. Alot of people say it is 3100 to 3200 LB, others have gone as far as to say it ways 3500LB. So I wouldn't know unless it gets weighed.

    15.3 doesn't sound right

    Every where I look I see 15.3 as a 1/4 mile time for a 1987 GT with a 5 speed, & needless to say 15.3 doesn't sound right. Especially for a 3100LB 225HP 300trq with a 5spd car :bang:. I imagend it as a 14.5 to 14.7 car. So am I missing somthing?

    Mustang louvers

    Hey! I have a question about Mustang louvers. Some people say that very little parts from the Mustang IIs can be used on a fox body, so I was wondering can I use louvers off a Mustang II? I have a 1987 Mustang hatchback.
