turbo 2.3 questions

[jfroh1992]

im thinking of turboing my 95 2.3 ranger, it has the 8 plug head
i have some questions that i havent been able to find straight answers for

ive heard that thunderbird motors work good, will the block bolt up to my 5sp trans?

how much of the wiring harness will need to be modified?

is there any specific year motor i should look for?

if anyone has a list of parts it would help alot.

any answers and advice will be appreciated.

The Turbo block is the same as the naturally aspirated block except for the drainback boss cast into the right side of the block. You will need to repin the harness (about 8 wires need to change places). Ideally, get the entire engine wiring harness from the T-Bird. The search key will get you a complete parts list.
