Yay, I broke it, again. I hate cars. Reply #31 – September 06, 2007, 02:34:13 PM Yea im with you guys(i own a 5.0 but still) Most semi fast fords out there are powered by a 302, They are everywhere! Which is why I think the 2.3T is awesome because it makes the power, gets the gas milage, and its american! (sorta) Quote Selected

Reply #32 – September 06, 2007, 02:47:30 PM Quote from: tc²;174634come to think of it... my old TC (turboranger91's) was a GM color and it was constantly taking dumps on me... broke an A4LD, cracked a T3, jumped followers, popped silicone couplers, 2 blown head gaskets... even the guy who put my exhaust in fvked up the paint on my rear bumper!... I see a trend...once i replace every single gasket on the motor and replace the oil pump (which finally came it today), and rebuild the tranny, i don't foresee any problems with this car... oh yea, i'll be redoing the a/c system too. sorry to hear about your car. she knows you don't like her anymore and she's pissed. :D Quote Selected

Yay, I broke it, again. I hate cars. Reply #35 – September 06, 2007, 05:25:14 PM I know how you feel. Fix one thing and another thing breaks. Fix that then something else. Always something. Always. I put waaay too much money into that car. The nicer I treated my TC, the worse it treated me. Best thing I ever did was when I parted it out and bought the Stang. Good luck with the V8.

Reply #40 – September 07, 2007, 02:00:16 AM Quote from: Chuck W;174700Nothing is more off-putting to me than to pop the hood of a car and see a 5.0....I'd much rather have a reliable engine that can handle good amounts of horsepower. 2.3s may be cool, but are apparently a PITA to get performance and reliability out of. However, I'd love to build a 2.3T Pinto.Some may hate 5.0s, but then again, there must be a reason that so many people get them (same goes for sbc 350s). They're cheap, have a great aftermarket following, all the knowledge is out there, they can handle horsepower, and can be reliable at the same time. Quote Selected
