2.3L ThunderBird Turbo

I got a friend down the road that has 2 mazdas bagged and draggin with a Rx7 and 2.3l Thunderbird motors in them. Hes taking out the Thunderbird motor and its going into my truck turboed with a Porsche inter cooler until i get a front mount. I should start soon because my transmission is about to go. ill take pics and how to once we do it. After im done ill tell you how it handles and drives.

sounds sweet, can't wait to see progess pics!!

sweet. i swapped that motor in my old ranger and loved it.

that was my idea also!!
let me know how it goes,i had a turbocoupe that had a few mods,was fun in a 4k pound boat,would be real fun in the mazda.
i have a stock ihi turbo and a stock topmount left over,and a few other turbo parts for sale.

YES this sounds like a pretty good idea

mmmm boost

boost with a big turbo!

So I'm guessing you guys used the mustang/t-bird motor mounts to seat? Also curious what all as far as wiring did you used from the donor vehicle??? Thanks

so how easy is it to put a 2.3 in a dawg?? i got a 2.3 ranger motor all wiring n computers everything and a motorless dawg and i wana do the swap..how easy or how hard is it??

I too am doing that swap. Need some help with the wring.?
