Engine Swapping / 2.3L Turbo to 5.0L
Well for starters the 2.3 is shot and I don't have the cash to rebuild it. The 5.0 stuff was free I just had to pull it. May end up storing the 2.3 stuff and rebuilding it as the budget will allow. For now I will use the 5.0 'cause I need the car.

Engine Swapping / 2.3L Turbo to 5.0L
Let me start by saying " Hi. My name is Shawn and I'm a Fox Body addict."

I'm getting ready to swap 2.3L Turbo out of my 86 XR-7 for an 88 5.0L out of a T-Bird. I got the harness and computer out of the T-Bird along with some misc vacuum hoses, etc. The Cougar is a 5spd. and the Bird was an auto if that matters

I have read and bookmarked Dominators post on the 5.0 swap. I was just wondering what kind of issues I might run into by using mixed year stuff.


ps. once I get the swap done I will probably sell the turbo related stuff.
