Watz up guys? I am new to the 2.3 liter turbo motor and need a little backround on it. Is the motor in the 88 T-bird turbo coupes the same motor as the mustang? Do they run good and can I expect one of these motors to last or is it a ticking time bomb? Also, if u could fill me in on some of the typical problems with this motor I would be greatful. Some of u r probobly wondering y I need to know all of this so I will explain. I resently totaled me brand new 03 Ford Ranger. Now I am looking for a car I can buy in cash and just get minimal coverage on. My cousins dad has 2 1988 T-bird turbo coupes and he is willing to sell both of them to me for $1,000. One was totaled and was never retitled(Not much damage, he hit a deer and damaged the front bumper and hood), that car has a bad tranny in it. The other one he has is in good condition and was just painted, but he said the motor in it is bad. he had the whole top end rebuilt and it just doesnt run right (at least thats what he said). I havent really looked over the cars yet I am just throwing around some ideas. If u guys could give me your input on whether u think this would be a good deal and if one of these cars would make a good daily driver I would appreciate it.
thanks guys
