Dont make me fly out there with two quarts of Torco and put that thing well into the 13's before it goes :D :D :D  I know where you are at Mike, good luck with the sale, but you know where I had to go to get anything from one of these cars :( (and it was almost fast, lol)

I don't think he'll regret it if he picks up a 4-eye. The same problems will exist in that car though, not sure what to expect different there.

Good deal but you have to find the right person.

Good point, pics forthcoming.

And I still have the Sport's 5.0... DON'T TEMPT ME!!!

Mashes the tempt key...

Seriously, there's a reason why back in 1992 I waited four months to land a 5.0 rather than a TC. I could have bought half a dozen TC's in that time from all the newspaper ads. I had a friend with that engine in an XR4ti and I knew then it was a money pit.

Drop a 5.0 in that bad boy...erm, girl. Done.

There is a reason why I have been searching for a long time for a V8 Tbird and not a TC. An 85 TC got me interested in Tbirds in the first place, and especially after driving a co-worker's 86 TC when I was at Zakspeed. But working on turbo engines all day for the race team, made me a bit shy of getting one for a streetcar. I knew I would want to modify it. We eventually changed the IMSA GTP Probe over to a V-8 for cost and reliability reasons.
Swap in a 5.0 and leave your troubles behind....

I haven't ever worked on a ford turbo... but the pictures alone make it look more complicated than a 5.0, heh. :hick:

You could swap out the engine, And do a shag change on layla all at the same time. >:-)

If any engine replaces the 2.3 it's either going to start with "LS" or end with "Big Block". But I'd rather sell it and start over.
