Hello from Cincinnati

[JoeM]

Hello from Cincy. This is my first post. I "inherited" a pickup bed load of SVO Mustang parts ('86 turbo shortblock, couple of heads, turbo, couple of EEC-IVs, large VAM, a complete mess of a wiring harness, etc., etc.) from a good friend who got out of 2.3 turbos a couple of decades ago and just wanted it all gone from his garage. I used to have an '87 Merkur, so I know my way around 2.3 turbo engines. I need a parts hauler, so I'm planning an engine swap into a Mazda B2300. First step was to reactivate my long dormant TurboFord account. Step 2 was registering here. Step 3 is to inventory everything and see what's missing.

Welcome aboard. When you get all inventoried let me know what your missing. My dad has a wrecked 86 thunderbird turbo coupe wrecked back in the woods behind the house. It's been there for decades. Not sure what's good left on it. Bit I wouldn't mind going down and digging through it. It was wrecked back in like 91 been there ever since. But I would rather doi it while it's still cold. Rattle snakes live back there here in Tennessee haha

I always liked the Bengals, but am a true fan now after the recent Bills game (a favorite team).

When the Bills player (Damar Hamlin) collapsed on the field, both teams and their fans came together to show love and support.

Later outside the hospital gathered a crowd of Bengals and Bills Jerseys exchanging handshakes and hugs, lighting candles and such. That night, Football was not only violent , but a great example of humanity.

They are now my two favorite teams.

I believe the majority of their rivalry only lasts until the game's over, at least in most instances.
I believe the majority of them have great respect for each other, although there are very notable oddballs
I'm just thinking the majority are down home good folks

Hello! I've always wanted to 2.3 turbo swap my 2.9. Maybe one day I'll be able to!

I have been tempted to do that but I've decided to stick with easier bolt in stuff for this truck. I've got a 88 5.0 2wd F-150 to play with for 5.0 stuff lol
