Well It was kind of like, "learn as I go" when it came to putting the 2.3 Turbo engine into the 65-6 Mustang, because I could not find anyone that had or has already done it. As for the 2.3 turbo engine built I am on and posted everything I did to this Mustang on TurboFord. Those guy on there are very helpful and it would have taken me a lot longer to do some of the stuff I did, if I did not have their input.
you could build a TON of boost on a stock 2.3l....... problem is not the bottom end its the head that kills its potential! i should get me an old beater tempo and do that swap and scare the piss out of people
I saw this car out at the Lucky Eagle casino car show. I got to tell you, at first I was like HELL no... That Stang is ruined. Then after talking with the dude and hearing how he built it for his daughter, and actually checking out all the trick shit on the car... I was impressed to say the least. Its clean as hell and he did an amazing job on it. Good work dude. Your daughter is one lucky kid!!!
There are not to many car show this time of year. I think we are going to put it in the Portland Roadster show and the Hot Rods and Harleys show which is going to be inside at the Puyallup Fair Grounds this coming year?
what is literaly everything you have done to it because i have a 1991 mustang with a 2.3 in it also and i want it to be pretty much just like that thanks.
@SKYLINERAS First the head has big valves and is ported alot. The intake has been ported alot to match the head. It has a BoPort 1.0 cam, BoPort fuel rail, ATR header (which I would not use again. I will be replacing it at some time) G3/G4 turbo, Cam is set at 2 degree's advanced, has 85lb injectors and a FAST stand alone brain. Also an Spearco intercooler
go to Photobucket web site and search for users name angliagasser, start on the last page and work your way forward and you can see the whole build come together. I took pictuces of everything!
Amazingly well done! I've recently acquired a '66 and was planning on doing this swap when i stumbled on to your videos. Any tips, suggestions, warnings?
With out removing the shock towers, I could not get the motor to fit. I would use a 5spd manual trany if it was for myself. I think with a manual trany I think it would be alot more fun to drive.
Why would you give a girl this car. Has she crashed it yet? Personally I think you should be the owner and driver of this car, you have the knowledge on how to work on it, and the respect for it considering the hours and hours of work you had to of performed on it. Nice car.
The exhaust is a 3 inch out of the turbo that splits into two 2 1/2 inch just behind the trany, then through two DynoMax race bullets and continue through 2 1/2 out the back through a pair of 66 GT Mustang tips. It has all mandrel bends from Columbia River Mandrel Bending
Thanks, I wanted to build a older ford mustasng with all updated suspension and a SVO 2.3 turbo motor and try to get 30 MPG with 300+hp. We will see what it has for HP tomorrow morning. We are putting it on a wheel dyno to put a better tune in it and to see that number we can get out of it?
I am not sure what you mean by, how many years. It took me 1 year and 9 months to build. If that is what you mean.
I have not put a final tune in the computer yet. But I intend to soon and put it on a wheel dyno also. I took out all the stock suspension and put a complete Heidt's front and rear suspension kits in it. The trany is a A4ld with a lockup converter and it has all the trany mods done to it.
omg lucky girl, i wish my dad would do that for me. I just finished my mustang SVO and im really pleased with the results. Your car is just unbelievable.

The rod bearings were a little loose. When the engine heats up they quiet down.

I never kid around when it comes to rod bearings because failure there results in catastrophic failure.

Very very cool. I'm an old C3 vette guy and have to say this is innovative, creative, cool, and just plain awesome. Great job with the 2.3t swap!
