As the title says. I need something before June, so I've got time.

Thanks,

Matt

We picked up an 88 Turbo Coupe (5 speed) on Friday. After an alternator replacement, the alt overcharged the system and fried some fusible links. While waiting for a replacement, it was sideswiped by a drunk.

So now, It's ours. For better or worse.

There's a guy on the Turbo T bird website who was very competitive in 3 races, while not touching the stock 140 kmile engine. He even bumped up the timing for his 2nd and 3rd races.

So my brother and I are debating on whether or not to completely gut it and install a V8 setup, or to try to get a race or 2 out of the 2.3T unit. Either way, the car's going on a serious diet, with a target raceweight of 27-2800 lbs.

I just saw that you have an SVO. One of the mods we're going to do is to install a master from one. Do you have a resource for parts that I might use? Also, If you've got any SVO buddies looking for an engine, I may have one for sale or trade. 30 kmiles on a rebuilt bottom end (030 over) w/ a slighly hotter cam.

Thanks,

Matt
