Keep an eye out

I lost the auction for the Civic 1500S I was bidding on… I actually went a few hundred higher than I wanted to and still lost…

So…here’s the funny part: I think I want a Mustang. I’ve always been into imports, but the more I think about it, the more I think I’d love a 2.3 turbo. I’d been thinking about it for awhile, and then the SVO in Muscle Mustangs + Fast Fords keeps sticking in my head… so if anyone sees a cheap eighties Mustang (or even Capri) in any shape other than rusted out, let me know. I’m totally confident the Prizm is going to be reliable for the forseeable future, so I want to buy something fast.

notchback is the coupe or the hatch? i’m more into the hatch, but i could probably go for a coupe.

and i’m pretty sure i could only put one head on the 2.3…:tounge:

edit: nevermind…looked it up… notchback = trunk

you mean, you want to turbo a 2.3L stang?

or you want to find a 84-86 Mustang SVO?

good luck finding an SVO for that price. but as far as turboing the stock 2.3L… world of problems from what i hear

couldn’t i drop a TurboCoupe engine in a 84-86 or 87-93 stang? I had some friends who put one in a stang that started life as a regular four-banger.

that will fit in just fine. I thought you wanted to get a 2.3L stang, and turbo its existing motor.

Theres a big diff between the Thunderbird Turbocoupe/Mustang SVO 2.3L

and the regular 2.3L motor

yeah… i actually thought about one of those… i wasn’t too into the style of it, but i could keep an eye out for a donor car to take the engine from

yea if you would build a notchback with the turbo that would kick ass. nice an light car.
