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.

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!

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.

just wondering what the weight of the 4 cylinder fox body is compaired to the 87 turbo coupe. i haven't found a good, accurate site about general car specs, so if anyone knows the diffrence in weight or a good websit, please let me know.

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