It was running a little rough, but I cleaned Air Idle Control, EGR valve, and throttle body and that cleared most of that up.

But im droppin in a 5.0 sometime next year so it doesnt really matter, haha

Looking good! I've been thinking of going with the 5.0 too. 2.3Ts are a pain to find. Did your GT convince you finally?

Idk Rhapsody with the intake/exhaust and other minor mods prolly not much about 8hp i would guess with it all, you dont get much from 2.3 mods.

And yes notch my gt made me realize that the 5.0 swap is the way to go. and i got a smoking deal on the 5.0 drivetrain so im gonna go ahead and do the swap some time next summer.

You can, just depends on how you do it and wether its carbed, efi or turbo. Besides you could always make your own turbo motor. I hate it when people preach about taking SVO drivtrains and hypocritically say take one from the other limited production car thats getting just as rare; Turbo Coupe.

But theres not much going from 2.3 to 5.0
