    New 2.3 Fox Owner In Ny

    Didn't realize I hadn't been on here in so 4 or 5 years. Well the 5spd swap was done (from an SVO) along with the Aerostar AWD aluminum driveshaft. Hurst short shifter and Ford Escort 1.9 flywheel. Fun to drive now. Still haven't put the console back in but did get to install tilt steering...

    Does The 2.3 T5 Have 2 Throw Out Bearing Sizes ?

    I have an SVO T5 and bought the bell housing used. Something is wrong somewhere. I should have just gotten a running parts car and moved everything over.

    Does The 2.3 T5 Have 2 Throw Out Bearing Sizes ?

    I'm using a 91-96 Ford Escort flywheel which is supposed to be the same except for being lower in weight.

    The bearing is about 1" too short.

    Does The 2.3 T5 Have 2 Throw Out Bearing Sizes ?

    The AL4D in my 93 is toasted and I spent the last 1 1/2 years collecting parts. I have an SVO T5 a stock 2.3 throw out bearing. Problem is it doesn't work. I'm not doing the swap myself so the shop ordered another thinking I may have purchased the wrong one. The one they got was the exact same...

    Did the junkyard underdrive pulley swap and deleted the air intake muffler. 2.3 is running soooo much better and smoother . Not so much an increase in power but it isn't struggling or chugging along . The intake did not produce a high level of noise as others had reported . My Jeep has a...

    The 17lb Ford Focus injectors arrived and are installed along with the tune up . Ran rough right away and smoothed out by the next day . Did not take long for the computer to learn them . It's running way smoother now but I haven't gotten a chance to get out on the highway .

    Well I haven't gotten any new done but I have started collecting parts for a 5spd swap . I also ordered a flow matched set of bosch 17lb four hole Ford Focus injectors . As soon as they arrive I should be doing a complete tune up and installing the injectors . AWD Aero vans did come with the...

    Got tired of driving around with big headrests in the trunk . They look pretty good even if I do say so myself . The material is an exact match to the LX seats . They were from an Escort GT at the U Pull . Think I paid $10 for both . I added a little bit of padding while I had them apart .

    Ready For Tilt Steering

    I have 2 columns , paid $10 for the two . But no plastic surrounds either . Have to hit the U Pull for those . Those that have done the swap say you need to swap the turn signal on the col to the one from your car . As for the light , just remove the bulb . There is a write up on stangnet...

    Guys on one of the other 2.3 sites that are really into building up motors swap out to 17lb and 19lb injectors . They sport 4.10's and a few have ordered aluminum shafts but never reported back or just never got around to actually getting them . The shafts are custom not off the shelf or from...

    You think ? Maybe that's for the 5spd crowd ? Hopefully someone else knows and will chime in .

    The only planned future mods would be air tube intake with a K&N filter , junkyard underdrive pulley's and track lock . Maybe 4.10's after I see how well it drives . Having the AL4D worked on this week hopefully if my Mother and Mother-in-law will give me a break from Honey-do stuff . I'll...

    I'm looking at getting the motor to run a little smoother and more efficient . Read that as more peppy with better gas mpg's . I've heard people mention using 2000 up Ford Focus injectors which are supposed to be 17# injectors . Anyone on here actually tried them . The other option is a set...

    Never made it to Allentown tealtiger 93. I stopped at Greble U-Pull-It first and then went on to Hazleton Pa afterwards . I found a beautiful set of seats in an Escort GT with the headrests . I so wanted them but we were in the Mustang with luggage and a cooler and so on . I pulled the...
