I'm going to look at a car next week that has a 2.3L ford with a turbo on it. Was told it is an older carbed version that has been converted to a blow-thru supposedly so I'm assuming '79-'81. No clue if the dude knows what he has or not. I am concerned mostly with it being a NA motor with a turbo slapped on there that is likely to blow up in a month. Being the older version, it has a steel valve cover so I can't go by that. Don't know what type carb is on it, haven't seen it in person yet. What should I be looking for to make this determination or am I just going to have to take my chances? I am totally fine with it being NA if that's what it is, but I'd hate to unknowingly run it with the turbo and ruin a perfectly good NA enigne.
