wanna b lower · **Posted:** Thu Feb 15, 2007 11:38 am

Im looking at swaping a 2.3 turbo out of a 1988 thunderbird supercoupe into my 1996 ranger (blown 2.3 in it now) from what ive read ill need to change the computer but i can leave the stock wiring haness and i need to upgrade the clutch but i can leave the stock tranny and rearend, for now at least. Is this all right? If anyone has any words of wisdom that would be great! Also id love to see some pics of this swap done. Thanks alot guys.

that right you would just need the computer from the donor car new clutch for the basic swap....
i think im not sure but if you dont have the computer yoiu can get your PCM piggy backed and tuned for the motor your gonna put but dont quote me on that im not 100% sure but that sounds like it would work
im doing the same thing but im not swapping motors in forging my 2.5L internals and turboing it im thinking 300+ rwhp
check out this place it has everything you'll need to know about the swap
