(1993 4cyl mustang) which would u do? build a 351 OR build a turbo 2.3?

If i did the 351 then i guess it would have to be carb, which i would rather fuel injection, but since my car is a 2.3 goin to a v8 it would be a headache i think. I wouldnt be able to drive it everyday cuz of gas. It would sound good an have a ton of power tho.

If i did the 2.3 turbo then it still would just be a four cyl lol. Wouldnt be as fast as a build 351. I would get ok gas mileage. I guess if u put the money to it then it could be fast. Maybe fast enough to beat a vette that cost way more lol.

What would yall do?

 

351..2.3l in a mustang just doesn't seem right to me.

 

351. turbo or no turbo a 2.3 is crap.

 

i would go 2.3 turbo, i think it would be easier to do, you could get around 25 mpg, but not as much power.. but i would go that way

 

the old saying.. no replacement for displacment. if your looking for gas milage , don't do squat! if your looking for power, go with the swap. i have a buddy that has a 2.3 turbo stang that he spent a butt load of money into($1200) for the turbo motor.. i was trying to tell him to go with the v8 swap. nope . he didn't listen. i spent a $350 for the 351w and $250 for a c4. then i found a 8.8 w/ 4.10's,moser spool, 33 spline moser axles, already 5 lug for 400.00. A GRAND TOTAL OF $1000.00.

 

how about a 351 with a turbo...

 

351 all the way. In the end I bet the price comes out to be equal to the price of the stuff you would need to turbo the 2.3

 

hey 92stangerang what were your times? im being a cheap *** also haha

 

2.3 turbo....dare to be different than all the V8 owners. Same power on less spark plugs is more fun, trust me.

 

i haven't ran her yet. im guessing if i hook up, low 13. hopefully break 12s
