Cool Where to find 2.3 parts?

Hey stangers. I got a buddy who is finally getting his license tomorrow and he's taking his test in his '90 2.3L stang almost identical like mine (I got him into stangs ). So the fellow stanger wants to give back to his pony and buy some struts/shocks and a new valve cover for his pony, his front right strut is shot (autozone piece of trash) and ever since he got his stang his threads on his valve cover where you fill the oil are striped so bad that oil leaks out just enough to go down the side of the valve cover and then here and there it'll hit the header and you can smell it a little better. He's looking for struts/shocks that will last! for a stock '90 4 cyl and any valve cover that will fit, stock or aftermarket. I'd help him but have no idea where to find that stuff for 2.3s. Anyone know where to get these?

Hey. I'll soon have a complete 2.3L out of a 93 LX that I wouldn't mind parting out. I'd prefer to sell the whole thing. It's only got 70k miles on it and runs like a champ. I'm swapping a 5.0L in the car and I won't need it. I'll also have the auto trans and a 7.5 rear end with 3.73 gears

Hi,

I use ebay and craigslist. There is some other websites out there that have some new 2.3 parts too.

unfortunetly i have not been able to locate any aftermarket valve covers, unless you go with a carb, you will need a valve cover from another mustang

And if you want a cold air intake: Mustangs Unlimited - The Source for Mustang Parts, Shelby Parts, Cougar Parts and Accessories

Esslinger Engineering and Mustangs Unlimited are good sites...
