A few of my 87 Cougar 2.3T January 13, 2007, 03:32:40 AM I bought the car off a buddy who bought the car after seeing it on Ebay, then decided the next day he didn't want it.. a guy in Michigan had it. Was a V6 LS, but someone swapped in a 2.3L turbo/T5 and 3.73 posi rear. Has a full interior from an 85 or 6 Turbo Coupe as well. The swap was done really nice except the engine wiring being a real mess, some of the sensors weren't even working. The more I pulled back the conduit, the worse it got [wires sort of hanging, stuff half assed soldered] so I yanked the engine harness and put one in from a Merkur XR4.. Not a whole lot done.. an Aeromotive regulator, Turbonetics boost controller, cone filter and exhaust and it has an N/A head which bumps the compression some. I've only had one race so far... a 4.6 Stang GT convertible [99-04 era] that had exhaust and gears and it was door to door. I put maybe a bumper length on him by 70 MPH where we let off. Going to add a ported ex manifold, front mount intercooler and 3" exhaust elbow and downpipe soon. It's clean for the most part actually. There is a real tiny hoole in the front drivers floor pan, but real nice everywhere else. Always loved the looks of the Fox Cougars and finally got one.. with the engines I like to boot :D Quote Selected
