Hey guys,
I have two mustangs right now. One is a rusty old piece of crap 86 coupe with a 1 barrel 2.3, the other is a nice 88 hatch with a "tired" 2.3. What I'm trying to do is take the 2.3 from my 86 (which only has 50k on it) and drop it in my 88 and keep the fuel injection stuff. Is it as simple as switching the intakes and what not? Do I just unbolt all the F.I. stuff from the 88 and bolt it on to the 86 engine? the 86 is a carb motor so keep that in mind. Do I have to change timing covers? Please let me know of any little hold ups I might have bbecause while I do this I wont have a car to drive so I need to know I'm prepared. THANK YOU!
