**1badnotch** · 10-08-2007, 01:14 AM

Looking for a T-bird turbocoupe for a donor car for a 2.3 turbo swap into a mustang. I'd prefer an '87-'88 5 speed car,but let me know what's out there. Thanks.

Found this on turbomustangs.com. Located in Douglassville, PA.:

i have a grey primered 85 merkur xr4ti 2.3 turbo 5 speed, has a 87 TC motor in it with the better e6 exhuast manifold, has a .60/.63 but it needs rebuilt/replaced. i have a bunch of spare parts as well, the original block out of the car with rotating assembly, another almost complete motor that could be rebuilt, a TC t-5 that needs rebuilt, spare set of rims, e3 exhuast housing and im pretty sure there is more as well. i still have to check the mileage and get some decent pics. interior is kinda eh, needs some work. asking $650 obo

also i'm looking for some decent alum heads to go on my 351w, need to be atleast a 64cc chamber

thanks

Don has his auto car for sale on here, great donor, plus it would get you a 8.8 with 3:73 rear with disc's and 11" fronts if you have a 4 cylinder car to start.

Merkurs make good donors as well. Better turbo to start than a 87/88 TC, not much else usefull.

Dont fall into wire harness traps using it from the donor, the swap is pretty easy for all years Mustang. Good luck with the swap, we need another 2.3 car around. For a little while Saturday night, there were three of us there, and we had the 5.0 cars out numbered. I dont know anywhere else that gets as many 2.3 cars out as we do around here. Its some kind of disease.
