Thread: any 2.3L ford people here?

Tweet

I'm trying to figure out what engine is in the A I bought last summer. I was told the donor car was a MustangII but I more suspect an earlier Pinto. all the front and rear suspension, as well as stearing column, engine/trans are apparantly from the same car, so knowing what it was would help me out a lot as I re--vamp the car to my own likeing.... anyway. the engine has a cast number on the right side which is 70HM6015BA and below that is what looks like 2-0 (could be 2.0?). it's an OHC engine, and has a point type dist, as well as the unusual air filter box as shown in the pic. it says ford on it, but also has "made in england" stamped in small print. eventually I'd like to find a late T-bird turbo coupe to yard the intercooled turbo motor out of, for this car, but when you find one they get snapped up very quickly. must be a 2.3L turbo cult out there somewhere .

thanks for any and all help in the de-code,
Lotsa
