Hello there. This is my 1991 4.0L XLT that I am hoping to fix up. As this is my first project car, I am trying to put a plan of sorts together. As I think through the various options and components, I get overwhelmed pretty quickly. I was recently told about the semi-popular 2.3 turbo engine swap from a Thunderbird and am considering that, but am unsure just how much work it will entail, if it is worth it, etc.
What advice do you have for me in terms of the options I have, putting a plan together, etc.? The best way I can describe what I am hoping for in a final product is "quick and clean." I don't want to do anything too extreme, but would love to make it quick if possible. Should I consider this 2.3 turbo swap? If I don't, what am I able to do with the current 4.0? I have some additional current issues - AC, something with the clutch/transmission, cracked windshield, and some dings - but wanted to try and construct "a bigger picture" of the build to work with. I am open to all thoughts and ideas. Thanks.
