i know there are probably a million threads about this, i searched and it brought back a million things not related. :\
i have an 89 2.3 hatch with a t-5. the rings on #2 are fried and it burns tons of oil and i only have 2 weeks left in school/auto shop (the only place i have to do anything) so i think im going to just drop in a carbed 5.0.
my questions are:
1) will i have to run fuel lines on the other side of the car if it is going to be carbureted? will i need to get a new fuel pump?
2) will i need a new clutch or can i use the one off the 2.3 (i know i need a new bellhousing)
3) are the hangers already under the car for dual pipes or will i have to weld up new ones
4) can i use the coil from the 2.3, the kid who owned the car before me rigged it up and i dont want to touch anything in fear of breaking it
5) how much do you guys think it will cost, im trying to go as cheap as possible, at most maybe $1k.
6) any other words of wisdom you have for me
thanks
