Let me start off by saying i've raced ford 2.3L in circle track for years and love them. We spend alot of $$ on them and they have about 230hp/210tq.
Well now i just bought a little 1980 mustang hatchback 2.3L for a daily driver for $300, what a steal. Im gunna drive it around till it blows and then swap in the race motor/manual trans ect...IN the mean time.....

I wanna remove all this stock bullshit that i dont need, but i need help from ya'll. I wanna remove the egr and as many vacuum lines as i can with the car still running good. Time to welcome me to the forum and start givin me advice

80 Mustang 2.3 L Removed all the items some yrs ago. Plugged the 3 exhaust manifold holes EGR pipe, Air Pump. Tapped & plugged Carb
lower adapter plate after removing EGR tubing. I had Cat bypass
pipe made & installed. Put the Holley Weber 5200 plain Carb in place of original H W 6500. Unplugged & pulled off MCU. Became much
better climbing hills. If HW 6500 Carb is used, it will go to full rich
on the enrichment or power valve. As an option I did remove enrich
spring and valve & did solder hole closed to avoid full enrich mode. Now have cheap cat conv back on for Smog Test. Did remove
other items, cannister. Looks very basic under the hood now. I could take some dig pics of things later
