Just saw this! Looks like a cool project I had an 86 t'bird with the I4 turbo it was LOADS of fun and that was in a heavy car. It's the best bag for your buck. I would suggest a port'n'polish and port fuel injection if you do go with one, gives it a lot more pick up. Another easy swap that i've done with those is the 2.4 turbo from a Probe( biggrin.gif ...probe)GT, gets rid of the stupid throttle body injection for port inj.
Will the probe motor bolt up to her mustang trans
Im thinking about trying to swap in a 2.0 ztec motor
i had one in a escort zx2 an it could smoke a 5s in a celica anyday lol
(hate to admit that)

They make an adapter plate for it. Another option is a newer trans but IDK what its out of, I havent worked on a ford in a long time...
The ZTEC motor would useless in the f body because of weight diff. also would take more custom work.
Ill have to look into that
Where could i get that adapter plate?

I still know some contacts in cincy that can get odd parts like that if you do decide to do the swap. if you want to find it on your own I would look on stang forums!
Ok ill let you know what i deside to do
Havent talked her into swapping it yet so i might just see how far i can push the stock 2.3

well heres a small update on the stang

Started painting a few small parts blue like the wife wants. An got the intake on.
But spent most of the day cleaning the garage an working on.....

This.
With the 1mz working my last nerve an not really finding it all that fun working on the stang.

What he said.

~bloodMoney
Shes in need of alot of tlc butthe body is fairly clean
An she LOVES gas
I put 10 bucks in the tank an that got me about 5-6 mile before she started to spit an sputter lol

95 gt coupe, v6 swap weekend toy99 gt hatch beams swapped wife's94 st hatch my daily driverhttp://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=82235n
Hmm, shouldn't be that gas hungry. No less than 10 mpg I'd think.

2001 Miata LS 5-speed
The carbs all out of wack
Shes idling at 1500rpm
An running alittle rich
Ive got a 750 edlebrock im gonna put on with a 1/2inch spacer( i beleave its 1/2) so i can adjust everything
I think the best mpg shes ever got is 11 4:10 gears do not make for good mpgs

Get everything adjusted and be good to go. 11 mpg is ok for a weekend car, not like you're driving it 60 miles a day or anything. tongue.gif

2001 Miata LS 5-speed
Yea just have to get it done lol

Well im more than alil shocked to say this thread has ran its course.

as of 2pm today the stang has a new owner
She desided awhile ago( lastweek) that the car needed to much work to get it to wherr she wanted it
an at the end of the day it just not the style of mustang she wanted.
but the stang didnt go too far lol our next door neaghbor bought it so im sure i could still post some pics of how shes coming along

What is she planning on replacing the Mustang with?

2001 Miata LS 5-speed
Atm nothing
Shes gonna start driving the celica after i get me a new dd
Shes helping me by putting the money she got from the stang into paying off the crv.

But the hope/plan is to find a 60s model stang to replace it sometime next year hopefully after we get a house

Alot of people have called bs on it
ive always chauked it up to howmuch we baby it

i believe it, my old 96 mustang GT 5-speed would get 24. so 30 would be easy for an engine less than half the size wink.gif
