Engine Swapping / Modern 2.3 Turbo swap to 87' Turbo Coupe
So, I am under the impression that the engine in my 87 Turbo Coupe is on the way out, found bits of metal in the oil, so its only a matter of time before the motor is completely dead. To avoid having to do a complete engine rebuild, I was considering swapping a new 2.3 turbo from the current generation Mustang in place of the old motor. To handle the extra 100 horsepower this engine puts out, the trans from the stang would probably stay with the motor and get put in the old 'bird. I was wondering if anyone with a bit more experience swapping motors in this car could tell me how stupid of an idea this would be. :hick: :burnout:
