Title: Heres some pics of my MUSTANG 2.3 turbo
Post by: 1BDBIRD on January 07, 2007, 05:07:51 PM
Heres some pics of my 88 Mustang 2.3 turbo daily driver. It has the heart and soul of one t-bird tc that had some wiring issues with the abs and brake switch. I followed instructions on Stinger Performance
and wireed the vam,la2,boost switch. It runs real strong being on a diet. Being out of the TC that is. So hopefully nobody will hate me for this one. I sold many parts to t-bird and cougar owners,so it was like being an organ doner. And brought life to other "FOX'S".
:nkhk:

Personally I think the 2.3t belongs in the Mustang. I actually wouldn't mind having a 2.3t Mustang myself.

uhmm.... that thing has 5.0 badges (or at least it looks that way), 85ish GT trim and a 4-eyed conversion. You sure that's an 88? :p

Want to come to Lincoln, NE and get a G-body? I've got a '78 Grand AM (455/th400) or a '80 Malibu (was sbc w/ 5spd) that can be sold if you're looking for a project:D. Both need lots of work.

Neat car.  Reminds me a lot of my old hatchback.

Someone rolled an 85.5 SVO, sat on a dealer back lot for a few months when one of the techs decided to do this conversion to his '80 hatchback daily driver.  I ended up with this car for $1200 also.  Sold the gold Saleen wheels to a restorer for $1000 so the car itself was pretty cheap.  It was a screamer.  Ran 14.2 the day I got it, ended up being faster with more boost, liquid-to-air IC, and a 4.30 8.8.

Here's a few pics taken over the years.  It was stolen in '01 and recovered completely gutted.  I still miss it a lot.

It makes me sick that people steal other peoples stuff,but that car is very sweet.Mine was pretty much a stock conversion. I was thinking of a turbo 351c,but it would be easier to do a 306 turbo,I have more parts to do a junkyard style turbo v8.
"86Elan" The grand am would be cool. My dad found a 73 GA 4spd
in Schuyler,NE in 1991. He bought it for $75 minus motor and trans. It was one of #187 built that way.Sold it to a guy in omaha for $2000 and thought that was a good deal,until i seen one on ebay for $10'000. Im going to be moving to NE in a couple months.I got a new job in Osceola,NE. My Aunt and Uncle's live in Lincoln.
