1988 2.0 2WD-WORTH BUYING?


 
great start for a V8 project!
 
great start for a 2.0 ecoboost project.
 
If you're gonna do an engine swap, have some common sense and replace it with one of these...

Too heavy for anything but a drag truck, and way too large to have A/C... It would affect handling too bad imo
 
Well... if your going all out... why mess with a crumbly 460... I dont even think you can fit a heater with a boss. Let alone AC.

Yes but the boss is a 4 bolt main, no freeze plugs and aluminum hemispherical heads. Not a regular 429... it's a pure race engine. I think they even have girdled main caps, and a dry sump system? But at any rate... no factory 460 is even close to a boss 429.

It was the built purely to destroy the 426 hemi.

By trying to copy Mopars technology and still failing to beat It
 
They banned hemispherical heads in nascar after the boss engines started running... so yea I think ford beat mopar. Theres a good read called "when cars got to fast" about when the big blocks literally started lifting off the tracks like airplanes. It was during the mopar/ford wars.
