Nice. I'd rather have that than a gas engine any day.

i don't know what to think of it.

I died a little inside.

It've been better if that poor 4bt was stuffed into a Ranger.

It looks like a 4bt, but the seller listed it as a 2.3L, must have been huffing diesel fumes before listing it.

It may have auto-filled off the VIN.

Even a 4BT is pretty damn heavy.

nifty, kind of, but the weight of of 4bt (minus flywheel and bellhousing) is about 700lbs, whereas a 2.3 is ~300lbs including trans, heck, even a 5.0 (all iron) is between 400-500 lbs.....the weight of the 4bt in that car pretty much makes it useless for anything.

But, what is the weight distribution on a 4bt and tranny? It may put a good chunk of the weight rearward on such a small car.

Except blowing black smoke all over rice burning civics.

2.3's weigh a little bit more then you think...

It is definitily one of those "one of a kind" type deal. Thou, a 4bt in a Mustang, that is a bit much. At least it will have plently of torque and probably good MPG's.

Thing is , you can get ALOT of power out of a 4bt. I think this car a bright future in the right hands.
