Re:Turbo Coupe... the Ford kind

I have the turbo off an automatic one. I also took the "turbocoupe" emblem off the back. Too bad I have a crx and can't sport it. :'(

yeah you can, just don't let anyone see it!(put it in the glovebox so that when you wanna look and admire, it is only a bend and an open of a glove box away!)

To the some people they are worth something...especially people that love T-Birds...I don't...so I got the engine from a wrecked one.

But that one you speak of...sounds like a cursed car. My car just has a rusted out exhaust, "speed holes" on the body, and a carb that can't hold an idle until its warm.

If you know someone that is into Turbofords...pass the car along. They might be able to do something with it.

Re:Turbo Coupe... the Ford kind

Yes! speed holes and rust, the cheapest and easiest way of weight reduction... yeah, i no longer have any friends that are into fords at all, if fact, most of them hate fords. Yeah, i'll look into it, because i know a few people w/rangers and the 2.3's go in there nicly. If not, then i guess i'm gonna try to get rid of the whole thing on turboford.org! Thanks for all the posts and help!

Re:Turbo Coupe... the Ford kind

You could always find a cheap 4 cylinder Mustang body and do a motor swap. Or any RWD Ford, a Ranger or a Faremont or Granada. You can usually pick up a old fox body Mustang with a bad motor for a couple hundred bucks. Swap in the Tbird running gear and have some fun.

Re:Turbo Coupe... the Ford kind

That motor in a ranger would be a great work truck that pulls stuff, turbo = torque.
