don't know brand model, but I did see a new old stock being auctioned on ebay. You might want to search there to get an idea. I think they came from 79 and others.

sounds like that cylinder is not firing properly, did you check the plug wire on that cylinder to see if you are getting spark? That would be my first step. Check for spark, if you are getting spark, then your second step would be to swap injectors from a good firing cylinder. If that...

You wont get a v8 sounding engine out of the inline 4 cyl. It just doesn't happen. That's what makes the 5.0 so unique. On the other hand going with a turbo setup, you can get a unique spool/exhaust sound out of the 2.3. Enough to make people wonder what you have under the hood. I...

Glowstang that is a clean engine bay. Probably the cleanest NA 2.3 I have seen. Have you modded anything on it os is it stock?

I took a look at my 93 and I did see amodule attached to the intake. You will want to look at the area behind the alternator. You will see the unit. I think this is the part you are talking about. I personally have not really checkout out the dual plug setup in my car mainly because I will be...

If I were you I would spend the 700$ in tools, buy a haynes or chiltons manual and spend a weekend working on the car with a friend. The friend could be there just for support or actually help if he /she knows cars. I learned on my own reading books and asking questions. I have saved thousands...

My understanding is that you need a combination of both lines to get it to work. The 5.0 brake lines are routed differently on the body of the car than the 2.3. So if you look at the 5.0 you will see that the brake lines hook up towards the center of the car. The distribution block is...

cool thanks I emailed stinger, according to his swap he unbolted the dis block on the 7.5 and added it onto the 8.8, I emailed him. Thank you Nick,

:shrug: Anyone know? I read and searched. So far what I came up with was to just grind off the distribution block that is part of the axle housing on the 7.5 and transfer the 7.5 brake lines onto the 8.8 housing? How did others go about it?

So I dropped the 8.8 out of my 1990 5.0 lx and was going to drop the rear end out of my 93 2.3 lx. But before I began I looked at the rear brake lines mainly at the distribution block by the pass side rear axle. It is different than the 5.0's 8.8 brake lines? How should I bolt the 8.8...

yeah its in the passanger side kick panel. The ECu harness plug and exu are there. You will have to repin some wires to get it to work.

Why how involved is it? Weld areas that are short. Modify oil supply to the head, modify cam tower, modify the gasket, get the right belt, route the pulleys and belt. Mill the head , get the 2 spacers for the two center head bolt holes. It's not that hard? Several have done it and there are...

I never understood why it would help with gas? Some have said they saw a drop in mpg? I thought the more air going in means the more fuel going in to balance out the ratio? So why better mpg?

Woah that's not good. I read up on a guy that did something similar. He had the timing set wrong and the engine pretty much blew up. #4 piston was gone and the block had holes that it should not have had. Did you do all the weld work on the head yourself? Mainly around the areas where...

You really have to read up on the 2.3 turbo. There are many mods that can be done. For example, do you know what ECu the car has? Also the engine uses a head not heads. Why is the intercooler 1600? You can do port work to the upper lower intakes. You can also upgrade to a larger TB. Other...

Hal, Please keep us all updated. I am interested in this modification as well. I am pleased to see that the 2.3 community has options other than the overpriced head that Essie sells. Thank you for sharing the knowledge!
