Motor Pics of My 93

[glowstang93]

Got her all cleaned up today for a show I'm going to on Saturday. So I thought I would post a few pics of the engine. I know its not a 5.0, but maybe I can get a few points for cleanliness I posted this on 2.3, but thought I would share it with the 5.0 guys too. I can't help much with 5.0 questions, but whenever I can I help with the others. This site rocks!!!

[ryan218]

[mustangjoe87]

[FrankenStang]

I've never even SEEN a 2.3...

Well, until now. LOL Nice.

 

[Ny Mustang Guy]

Heh, I'll have 2 eggs Scrambled in the morning Please.. No need for plates You'r engine is clean enough!

 

[Aliate X]

Nice job, cleanest 2.3 motor ive seen.

Thank you very much all for the kind words. I hope the judges think so at the car show tomorrow. If it doesn't rain, forecast keeps changing looking bleaker and bleaker every time I look at it.

Yes, I drive it almost every day to work (8 mile round trip) and year-round.

To get it clean: a little cleaner and then some protectant. This time I used NO TOUCH and it turned out nice, but I had to wipe everything down by hand to remove the white residue. Still only about 30 minutes worth of work on the engine. I never let it get real dirty between cleanings that helps a lot.

WOW THAT'S CLEAN..........wanna come over and clean mine lol

Well the show was Top 25 for 1974 and newer and there were just a few less than 25 there so a trophy was a definite. But anyway here are some more pics from the show and my little girl picking up the award. It was a nice wall plaque so they left it in the box to protect it.

definatly a cruiser, looks great, most 4cyl stags are junked out real bad and run and look like fecal matter.

i used to have a 2.3 and they are tough little bastards.

well i tried to clean mine and then gave up after 25 mins on just the wiper motor and it still was dirty of hell. i guess this is what you get when you buy a car that was in a barn with stupid cows and sheep and the whole 9 yards for 7 years and i think something died in cuz when you let it sit with the top up for a week or so when yoou open the doors it is a blast from the past lol

at least it runs goof

what is no touch?

very clean engine though. how does it run?

 

[woodyy24]

thats one of those 2 plugs per cylinder deals.

nice clean stang you got there

 

[Pennywise2]

Sweeet!

 

[glowstang93]

NO TOUCH was the original tire foam that you just sprayed on and it cleaned/protected. Its not really that good, but I had some and tried it in this application. It was ok. I hadn't bought any for years and I thought I rememebered it working better than this.

My tires I use a tire wet spray applied with an applicator so I don't get any overspray and uniform coverage.

That is hella clean never seen a 2.3 with coil packs i have an 87 with a distributor so that should have more power than the older ones.

 

[glowstang93]

87-90 had 88 hp and 91-93 had 105 hp. Its not much, but its not a slouch for getting from point a to b in a hurry still. The drop in K&N seemed to improve it just a little. More noticable at highway speeds. It don't take much and its going from 60 to 85 passing without any problem.

Looks great...and I see you recieved an award.

 

[Boss 351]
