[2l8iwn]

Building this car for my little brother. Its kinda cool cause he worked his ass of for minimum wage and bought both the 93 mustang and the 86 turbo coupe with his own money. Here are a couple of pics below

That is looking sweet. Kevin,Dedpedal, had a notch with a 2.3 turbo 5 speed in it. I think Carl,usafstang has it now. Kev knows more about them. Send him a PM.

Looking good Brandon. Im glad I could help with what little I did. As allways, gimme a shout if you get stumped and Ill do my best to help figure it out.

i had an 86 svo and it embarassed the hell out of alot of 8's. it handled like an imprt too. nice work!

Thanks for the comments, this project has been really fun, its a great learning lesson for my younger brother. This is his car and he has been involved with every aspect. The fun part is it will retain the stock exhaust "look" at first. It ought to be one hell of a sleeper. Ill have more pics and some video soon.

by any chance do you have the cross member and brackets for it still? if so want to sell i just need the peices that move it back further than the t5 for my transplant

[2l8iwn]

cross member and brackets for the t-coupe or the mustang?

[Black92LX]

the 92 is just sitting in the garage awaiting some extra money for me to do this swap.

[PaulFiveOh]

So what all is modified on it?

Also, the motor looks bad ass. I think I might have to build a 4cly Turbo car sometime.

[2l8iwn]

Well, we p&p'd the upper and lower intake, head, and manifold. We upgraded the old turbo to a bigger turbo. The engine was torn down and vatted and then honed. We had the crank turned ten thousandths. Put it all back together with new rings and seals. Had the head worked, shaved ten thousandths, put new valves and springs locks and keepers. 4 angle valve job, new cam. It has all the good stuff. Most of the mods are in the porting and polishing. The internals are all stock. It will be running in stock form when we get it on the road. Later we will be adding a front mount i/c and maybe even think about getting rid of the vane air and going with mass air. But the mass air swap is very involved. Thanks for the comments on the motor. It did turn out very well. I love how well the Valve cover turned out. Ill try to find some pics of what the motor looked like before we tore it down. I know i have some around here somewhere.

Building this car for my little brother.I'm jealous. :( Wish I had a big brother like you! :bigthumb

It's really refreshing to see someone actually take the time out of their busy life and take the time to mentor a young person. :bigthumb

i need the mustang cross member brackets (the automatic)

[2l8iwn]

we just recently had the t-bird hauled off, those brackets may be in the passenger seat, but i will look around the shop this weekend and get back to you. For some reason i think they might be under my work bench.

i had an 86 svo and it embarassed the hell out of alot of 8's. it handled like an imprt too. nice work!

+1, ive had an 86 and an 84...they were a BLAST to drive and kill the usual 8 :D

and cause i feel like it, here is a vid of the exhaust that was on my 84, 3" from the downpipe back, no cat, flowmaster 40 series muffler. she had a little bit done to her :D
