    I just became the owner of a Ford 2.3 turbo/5 speed setup from a Thunderbird. I need some ideas for a good project to build around it; maybe an old Crosley or Nash Metropolitan, some kind of roadster.....not sure yet. It has to be small, light, and *******; how about some ideas?

    27 T roadster pickup with hood ,Should fit and you can adapt carb to the manifold,Distributor is a little work,They build some serious horsepower out of those motors

    That's what I've read, John. There was a guy on another site running one in a late model Mustang and was getting into the low 10s on a stock long block with a bigger turbo and said he had over 100 p***es on it! They're built pretty stout from what I understand. T-roadster is a great idea, too.
