I own a 1993 2.3 mustang that I converted to Turbo(aftermarket kit)with bigger injectors,mass air,methanol injection and everything,so detonation or overheating is not a problem. Now I want more power(hey,who doesn't?)and I've been offered a nice 2.5 stroker short block. Here are the questions:
I want to keep the dual plug head, so do you guys know if all of the 1993 timing components(sprockets,etc)will fit on the 1985 block(stroker)? The 1993 block uses a plug where the distributor on older engines go;I'll do the same with the '85, but does the front (snout) of the crankshaft measure the same as the '93? Are there anyone that has done the same swap? I already know that the 1993 uses a round tooth timing belt ; I want to keep that setting. Also, does the '93 uses a roller camshaft?
Let's see who knows best!

The 93 does have the roller camshaft. The problem with using the early block is the fact that there is no provision for the crank sensor at the front of the block. It's a tricky task that requires extremely precise measurement or near perfect template making, but the holes can be drilled in the pre-DIS block to mount the sensor. It's not something I'd do with an assembled engine, but if you really want to do this, that's how it's done.

The sprockets are all the same. The timing belt covers are slightly different. I think they attach to the block the same way, but the inner and outer attach to each other differently. The front crank seal plate is different between the two, and I believe it has to do with the crank sensor or the hub. I think they can be swapped, but I can't remember for sure.
