4 cylinder 300 HP turbo terror that eats Honda's and spits rust. You'll need a 87-88 T-bird Turbo Coupe for a donor car to scanvenge parts from.

I paid $400.00 for my 2.3 coupe a year and a half ago. I planned on swapping it, but it runs good and gets great mileage so I use it as a DD.

Add 20-30 PSI of boost and you'l be suprised at what the little 4 banger can crank out.

See http://www.esslingeracing.com/ they have heads, cams, blocks, cranks, all sorts of racing goodies for the little 4 cylinder engine.
