Welcome DROPTOP STANG,
I'm not exactly sure what the dimensions of the speakers are, however it would be easy enough to measure them. I do know that the rear speakers are oval shaped and the door speakers are circular.

For the door speakers, you just have to pull off the panel and unplug a few wires from the panel. If you have a notch-back coupe, then I believe you probably have to take out the mat that covers the back shelf to access the speakers. First though, you will have to take out the 3rd brake light and rear seat-belts so you can get the mat off. It's sort of a pain.

As far as performance upgrades, we have an entire thread dedicated to only that: http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forums/2-3l-tech/78164-2-3-liter-natuarally-aspirated-performance-modifications-thread.html
That should point you in the right direction, good luck.

Your tire are suppose to be 195 60 15 but I got on 225 60 15 and it grabs nicely. He's right on the speakers on how to get the speakers in. Doors are 5 1/2 and the rear are Hatchback 5x7 notch back 6x8 and the dash are 3.5. You can put some on the sides of the back seats like the camaro. It was like that when I bought it so I have 8 inside speakers with 2 10" subs in the trunk. And upgrade wise, you can go to the page he's sending you to or here's a list i'm going by....

96' Ranger Exhaust Header
15 or 17 lb fuel injectors
15 lb/hr from one of the following 2.3L engines:

* 95-97 Ford Ranger/Mazda B2300
* 91-93 Mustang 2.3L
* 92-96 Ford Escort Tracer 1.9L
* 89-94 Taurus, Sable 3.8L
* 91-95 Thunderbird 3.8L

17 ld/hr

* 94-98 Achiva, Ciera 3.1L
* 93-95 Camaro, Firebird 3.4L
* 93-97 Cutlass Supreme 3.1L
* 97-98 Cutlass 3.1L
* 94-98 Century, Regal, Skylark 3.1L
* 94-96 Corsica, Beretta 3.1L
* 94-99 Grand Prix, Grand Am 3.1L
* 95-99 Lumina, Monte Carlo 3.1L
* 97-99 Malibu 3.1L


95 Lph fuel pump 90' mustang 5.0
155 Lph fuel pump
65mm or 75mm throttle body 5.0
Replace the stock vacumn operated pressure regulator with a manually adjustable Holley unit.
Set it at 45 LBS and your stock 15 LB injectors will flow like a 17 LB unit.
rear sway bar off of a Fox body GT
Strut brace
Subframe connectors
Disc brakes all around
Front sway bar link's
Polyurthane Suspention bushing's




2.3 performance mods.

Junk yard parts that can be used

- 87-93 Ranger cams, 91-93 Mustang cams (2.3L engine, you want the followers as well)

- 90's ranger header (The header weighs 6 pounds, stock mustang one weights 26 pounds)

- 8.8 Rear end out of a Turbo Coupe (Came with 3.73 gears in the auto ones, 3.55 in the manuals)

- 5.0 front brakes w/ spindles (get 11" rotors)

- 5.0 front sway bar (4 cylinder - 1" 5.0 - 1 5/16")

- Rear sway bar (out of a 5.0 GT)

- MAF conversion (better MPG and HP) [91-93 mustangs have MAF]

New parts that can be used

- Cold Air Intake (can be made out of PVC pipe, or exhaust piping)

- Exhaust (2.25" all the way back and no cat if you can get away with it)

- Cam gear (these engines like 4 degrees retard of timing)

- Port the head and intake

- Bigger valves

- Stand alone ECM

- Custom cam

- New heads

- 2.5 Stroker kit

- MSD ignition

- NOS (be cation, to much will kill the engine)

- 255lph fuel pump

- Under drive pullies

- 1.75" to 3" header

- Light weight flywheel

- Windage tray

- Aluminum drive shaft

There are other things that can be done like bump the compression, and play with the gears, that's up to you, this is just what I have learned will work. Make sure that you are careful and make sure you know what your doing before you do any work on your car.
