Kinda like that notch. What made you decide to put a 2.3l turbo in it? Weren't those originally in the SVO's and turbocoupe t-birds?

Nathan, suite yourself.

Mike, I have always liked the notchbacks. I figured instead of trying to make my hatch turn and go straight well and it not being good at either I would get a notch and make it turn well. Then I could make the hatch more dedicated to drag racing.

The 2.3T swaps in so easy, very little wiring to make the Turbo Coupe ECM work. And a whole lot less weight over the front wheels. And I suppose I was bored.

That's a really nice looking engine on the hatch! Nice cars. I noticed your hatch has 4 bolt lugs, was that stock? And is it the stock rear end?

My friend has an 88 (?) Mustang SVO. He's putting Accell on it right now and he has 2.5l, hy35x, and some other goodies. He think's he's gonna outrun my Camaro when it's all together! Right now we have some friendly compettition in building our 2.3L turbos I gotta stay true to Svensk though, and I just got word on a super rare Volvo 2.5L in the area

Maybe we can convince you to ditch that 2.3 and drop in an LSX.

Poik, thanks for the kind words. And yes stock on all fox body mustangs except SVO is 4 lug. I would 5 lug the car if I didnt already have 2 nice sets of rims.

Mike, as much as I love the LS motors I just cant see that happening anytime soon. When I get a chance I will throw a few pics on there of the twin turbo LS1 I have been working on.

I had some douche come up to my car in Mt. vernon and ask if I had done a Honda swap to get 4 lug wheels on my car.

Well it started out as one of Georges finest, a TTi street kit. Now about the only thing left of it is the turbo header and a couple of exhaust bits (like a flange or two). Everything else is either swapped out or built by me.
