Depends on how much boost you want to run, and if you want to have lag or if you want to have quick power... it also depends on how much you want to reach into your wallet.

For a quick spooling and low boost (like 8 psi peak) that turbo will probably do you good.

FORD T-Bird 85-86 2.3L (Manual) GAR (AiR) TB03 60 trim (watercooled

look for that one. i think that is the only decent junkyard turbo for a B series.
make sure its a stick also!
