  • Guess what i saw today

    this old feller drove up to the store today with a fifty something (idk when they made em)
    henry J. he opened the hood and he had a freakin thunderbird 2.3 turbo in it. i was drooling at the thought of that all day.
    it'll do the 1/8 in 13.7, spin tires, and make all my drunk buddies giggle.

      I think they made them (correct me if wrong) 51-53. My dad had a 53, it was an interesting car.

          When I had my Comp Prep SVO in the Muscle Mustangs & Fast Fords 2.3 turbo shootout, there was a '49 Ford that was driven from Michigan and then raced. It had a junkyard 2.3 turbo motor. It got over 30 mpg and ran well into the 13s! His Mustang with a 2.3 Turbo now runs in the 9s...The motor in my Turbo Coupe went over 280,000 miles before it was tore down and doesn't even need bored oversize!! Don't knock the 2.3 Turbos, they are damned tough!! There is a street driven SVO in Texas that runs in the 8s...

              900 hp on a 2.3 wow!! i knew some where pretty quick. how hard is it to build a 2.3 to make 900 hp? does it have the volvo head? my buddy has a 2.3t mustang he has a lot done cut and rotated intake, log manifold, i cant remember what else it pulls pretty good but i think the festiva with b6t would be a close race. maybe i should of built a 2.3....

                  Though i did venture to mustang svo forum to check on it...seems to me parting out these mustangs is a holy sin.
