Awesome news. So the only thing I have to deal with is wiring. I believe the motor I'm looking at is carbureted, not FI. I only hope I don't have problems with California emissions BS. The motor is coming out of a California car so I shouldn't, but ya never know.

So what you're saying is the 2.3L block which is coming from an 80's SVO Mustang is the same block as the 2.3L in Rangers?

I have an 87 B2 XLT and I'm looking at doing the 2.3 Turbo swap. The motor is from a mid 80's Mustang. Is this a bolt in operation or do I need adaptor plates, etc? It has a manual stock tranny in it. FM 145/6

Thanks Rusty. I just missed out on a fresh 89 motor. I'll keep trying this site.

My current 2.9L is done. I'm looking for a good used 89-92 2.9L that I can install in my B2. Anyone with info please forward it to my gmail. nelsonvenice@gmail.com. Thanks!

Advance Adaptors makes an adaptor so you can use the 3.8 and tranny. You will likely have to make new drive shafts. That's not so hard.

I'm looking for an 89 or 90 2.9 in very good running condition.

Gaz, I found a source but I need to confirm sizes before I buy them. This is what I got from Bronco Corral M8 1.25x75 (8), 1.25x50 (3), 1.25x 30 (1) Can anyone here confirm those sizes?

I'm replacing the heads on my 87 2.9L V6 and I need new exhaust manifold bolts; complete set left/right. Anyone know where to get these buggers?

It's only collectible if it's in demand. I just don't see that with this B2. Kinda like the Edsel; rare, collectible, but who really wants one? Duffy is right, it's butt ugly. With that heavy top it must ride like a giant turd. But somehow it's growing on me.

I pulled my cat and it was black. I read that this symptom indicates a clogged air filter and/or leaking, defective fuel injector(s)

I found a shop with techs that have that equipment. Only thing is they want my B2 for a month.

I had one tech say the motor is shot. I need a new short block. WTH? Most techs are just throwing darts. It's hard to find someone who knows this motor.

I have the same problem. On a slight hill I cannot get past 2000 rpms in third gear. New tank, both pumps and filters 45psi pressure.

I'll check with Austin at Advance Adaptors and get back to you.
