Hi,
My friend is selling me his 1991 Mustang LX. It has a 2.3L N/A, with only 23000 miles on it, and the car itself only has 113k. The ball joints and suspension has been recently replaced (With engine I believe) and its has $1000 worth of Tires and Rims on it. And for only $2100, is that a good deal?
Anyways,
I want to buy it AND the engine his dad has for it. The one his dad has is a turbo, and he'll sell it for only $400 ( The whole thing ) I dont know what condition it is in, but over the summer im gonna tear it down and rebuild it, port and polish the head, gut upper intake and port the lower. For the exhaust I was thinking 2.5" or maybe 3" with a FlowMaster 40 Muffler ( Cause I guess thats what everyone uses and I know it will work ) and a high flow Cat. For on top I plan on a K&N Air Filter and Cold Air Intake, 35lb/hr injectors.
This is my first car Im really gonna mod and I noticed that people take Volvo Intercoolers and ranger radiators and slap them in. Guess im not used to 'cross breeding' parts
Thats basically all I can think of right now, I know there is lots more to think about, but Im new to Inline 4's and turbos . . . and fords The only truck I have modded is my 1972 Fleetside LongBox Chevy truck with a 350, full Edelbrock intake, ported and polished, being pushed through Dynomax Cryamic headers and 3" exhaust with a random muffler I ripped out of my dads old Dodge I was out of money and it fit, so yeah
And, is it true you can get regulators that you can adjust while driving to change the amount of PSI your Turbo is putting out ? Because thats kinda cool, no reason in runnig hella PSI if you just going to work and back
Any tips and suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated, I can fit everyhtign I know about Ford and Turbo egnines in the palm of my hand.

Oh yeah, I was also thinking I would go with a 3.73 Rear end, but should I go with 7.5" or 8.8" ? I found a website with both, so I need to find out what the difference would be.
