....been awhile, Life and all.
It appears that my 91 stang may have blown a gasket. 70-90lbs compression in 3+4 and aweful knocking from where the motor goes (Car is in beautiful shape though).
It so happens I have an 87tc next to the shed with some body damage and rust on inner fender-firewall (kids and I picked up at auction for fun a year or so ago). Few other issues from previous dip**** owner but mechanically seems fine.
Anyways, I pulled the cover off the stang and notice roller rockers/followers which got me wondering which parts to keep if I was to swap the 87tc motor into the 91dis. Intake, head, cam, computor, etc. etc.
Also, the TC motor seems to be a bit low on compression (to what I'm used to) so I was planning a rebuild. What readings should be expected on a lower compression turbo motor?
I'm kinda stuck as to which way to go as the car was our daily driver and my wife's freedom. Fix it or Swap it now?
Appreciate the help.

ps. Merry Christmas and such to you all.
