Are you talking about doing one on a 2.3 turbo?

I've seen a few online but none in person. Supposedly they're pretty worthwhile but require a lot of crazy fab work. A while back an SVO sold on ebay that had a DOHC head swap...it was awesome.

Yeah, 2.3T I did mine a couple years back, just wondering if anyone here was working on one.

New setup.

I did put a 88TC in my 84 stang, but I have no plans to do that. I wouldn't even know were to begin. Yours looks damn good though. Have you had it to the track yet?

I got a buddy that used to live up in HUber that started on one a few years back but Im unsure how far along he is. Maybe its time to check in and see!
