Default 1988 Thunderbird Motor - Need Numbers

I just purchased a 1988 Thunderbird 2.3L Turbo motor and I wanted to put in some forged internals, but I can not seem to find the proper sizes for the bore and stroke, and everything else that I need to replace. Any ideas from anyone? Or any tech sheets out there I can reference?

That motor already has forged pistons and the rest of the bottom end is stout enough to handle lots of horsepower. Drop it in the car and go.
