That Hybrid is a tight fit i did have to turn the compressor housing...but it will have to come off to do plugs and 90* spark plug boots will be needed. now i need a DP/WG and stingers lines,Fuel pump/regulator and radiator/fan from 4.0 Explorer and im rolling.

And I just went to look at a 5-speed '95 V6 today ...
those have common HG problems....but if you were closer our JY down here has a turbocoupe full motor and trans for like 150 and a buddy has another TC motor on a stand he is about to throw away..and we also have a ranger/mustang 2.3 laying on the ground also...if you were closer we could help get you started on your 2.3T conversion.

Lookin good!!
Does it look like you'll need a speacer for the turbo to clear or can you rotate the housing as needed?
Sorry if this is a simple question but I'm guessing since only one pic loaded.
Well i had to rotate the compressor housing to clear the valve cover. but that hybrid is huge...so in order to change plugs the turbo is gonna have to come off and 90* spark plug boots will be needed.

Looks good so far! The Stinger header is a really nice piece.

If I wasn't going to school and I'd be around I'd drive down there and scoop up those parts:p
