I know this is not the right place for this thread bc I will be putting a 2.3T engine in the car for a new DD over my 331 stroker that I am driving right now to get better mpg. I posted it hear so you can can see the build if you dont want more pictures just let me know and I wont add more.

The Build so far:

Cool, but it would make a lot more sense to put a 2.3T into a 2.3 car, the idea of removing a 5.0 for a 2.3 is a little weird, plus your GT will forever be hampered by the V8 GT insurance premiums...

you are doing nice work, thats for sure

The only reason a 2.3T is going in there is because the car was left to rot away with no engine, tranny, or engine wiring. It also had a crappy interior that had to be gutted so that is the only reason why i did that.

I have owned many of foxbodies and have always rebuilt them so I love them that much that I am converting one to be a better DD and them the 88 mustang is going under the knife too. I see a 351 TT in its future HMMMMMMMMMMM
