well it' been almost two years since i put this car on hold and purchased the now sold 83 tc, sold the 83 tc as a roller so i'm back to my original project, I would still like to do a pro touring/ road race style build and have been inspired by fordguy545's build of his car. here is a pic of how it sits now it will be a long road back to being road worthy.

interesting I repinned my ecu connector in my 83 TC when i did my la3 swap and it also ran fine? also added the act sensor which i know is unnecessary. la3 also has premium or regular gas switch which needs to be wired if you want ecu to run in premium mode.
update, got a few miles in this year , ran pretty good, motor is back out, just wasn't satisfied with the performance, looking to go bigger in just about every department, alot of choices out there everything is up in the air at the moment, I will be staying 4 cyl. turbo thats for sure but displacement will be bigger as well as the turbo. that being said I would really like to get some body and paint work done as well. but time will tell. should have some parts for sale soon. thanks to everyone for the words of advice and encouragement.
yah finding parts for my 83 is almost impossible, you almost have to rely on finding stashes of nos parts from collectors to actually find any usable parts. or make your own.
pistons in the turbo motor are forged vs. cast in the n/a motor heads are different but you can run a n/a head with a turbo. turbo blocks have oil and coolant returns, I would carefully check any parts you intend to re use running high boost without supporting mods can really trash an engine quick. curious as to what other parts are on this car if it was a n/a mustang they would have had to upgrade a few things if done correctly. also what turbo is on the car? IHI or T3. most parts are interchangable but you really only want the turbo internals not the n/a. check out turboford.org you will find anything you want to know there.
