You can do a search to find tons of info about what you are wanting to do, the pros and cons of different ways of doing it, what wiring changes are required, donor cars, etc.

The cheapest way to turbo that car is to find a '87-'88 Thunderbird with a good running engine and swap that into your car. Stinger has some excellent info on the swap in his tech how to section and this guy has some great info under his how to section: www.flemworld.com/I used both sites to swap a turbo coupe engine/trans into a '88 Hatchback. Consider yourself lucky you already have the five speed because I did the auto to five speed conversion and then is harder then dropping in a turbo engine by a long stretch. Here is my thread on the swap I did: foxbodyforum.com/index.php/topic,11578.0.html |
