SKAR are you going to put a 347 stroker or a 2.3 turbo?

Thanks t-bird I had read some would work and not worth the trouble. I found several of these dodges with turbo. Can get the turbo cheap but gave up when found out not the same and too small.

I think for now well waiting for a FI 5.0 or to build a 347 out of the carbed 302 I have ill just do the basic mods to the 2.3,

theres a 87 tc at my yard, it was a auto, all left i think is the cu located on the pass side sock tower? and the head with a few rockers missing and the bottom end. wonder if the bottom is worth getting?? also on craigs list is a turbo mani for a 2.3l for 50 bucks. im thinkn of pulling the pistons out of the tc and transplanting them into my 89 ranger motor. t bird what do u think? is the crank different on a n/a and a turbo coupe block?

sleeper_inc

No, both cranks are the same

86GT 93LX

are u sure??? i need to know for 100% sure. i think im gunna start collecting parts for my turbo junyard special!i need detailed pics of svo and tc turbos and stuff cus theres a yard that sells turbos, but they dont know what none of em are off of, and i wouldnt know a t3 if i saw it

So would the 2.3 computer work with a little boost? Or would it run lean?

sleeper_inc

I wont be able to work with the boost. It might but you'll have to run a piggy back computer. evintho knows for sure though.

THE 2.3 N/A and 2.3 TURBO HAVE THE SAME CRANK!!!

Why would you want to transplant the pistons? Just swap the entire block and head. You could swap pistons, but youre almost garenteed to have ring sealing issues.

As for turbos, basically, all the turbo fords got the T3 except for thunderbirds like mine.

87-88 thunder birds have a hybrid right t-bird?

And he would be wanting to do this because the other block is bad
