351 setup or turbo 2.3 setup?
(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?

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.
