    I like your way of thinking on the turbo charged 2.3L. Is that a very hard, expensive, and time consuming job? I guess I've never really heard anything about turbocharging. Is it just performance parts or what? I'm not really sure of all the little secrets...let alone some of the building.

    just get the cyl head and turbo from a Thunderbird Turbo coupe.. they were factory stock 2.3 turbos and the stuff will bolt to your block.. and theres room for upgrades w/ the Tbird setups.


    Turbocharging is not cheap tho. I'm working on a Turbocharged Ford 200 I6 and I built the engine for the turbocharger to get the most out of it.. I'm in it $6k so far but that's for the rebuilt engine, new fuel system, ignition system, Turbo piping, intercooler ( turbo was free ) ect...
