I just bought a 1987 Musatang with a 2.3 and had a couple of questions... First is it possible to take the front end off of a 1982 mustang gt and put it on my 1987 mustang lx? Is there anything I can do to increase the performance of a 2.3(Non-turbo) or should I invest in a 5.0? I think thats about it, thanks for any help.
its cheaper to invest into a 2.3 turbo motor over a 5liter. Not much in power builders for na 2.3's. the front clip should fit with out a problem
It should be easy to swap front clips. The only bumps in the road I see are the need to get headlight wiring for 4 lamps vice 2. I have not done this swap, but I have an 82 and an 89. Unless you just want to tinker with the N/A four, I would think a turbo or 5.0 is a much easier way to go fast. I just happen to really have a soft spot for the 2.3 engine, and would like sometime to have a strong one.
