It really all depends on you. If you've got the time, it may be a good idea to search the junkyards and find all the pieces you need to swap in a 2.3 turbo engine. Or if you could find a donor car (Thunderbird TurboCoupe or something of the like) and that would be easier because it has all the parts you need right there.juleza5 said:
Money, again, it depends on you. If you can do the work yourself, it would be a lot cheaper, though it could take longer.
And fuel injection is much more common with this swap so it would probably be a good idea to stay EFI.
Search these forums and www.turboford.org and read! Read a lot! Don't jump into this if you're not too experienced. Just pick up on things and reading is the best thing to do initially, then decide. Also, www.stinger-performance.com is a sweet website. Stinger is a member here and on TurboFord and he has a write up on the 2.3 turbo swap and sells performance parts.

I read through that a few times and from what I got out of it, you are asking if you should swap out your motor for a fuel injected one? Your motor is (or at least should be if it's stock) already fuel injected.
If you are asking if you should get a fuel injected turbo motor to swap in, yes...if you are capable of doing so.
