Cool

Grab it! You'll be glad you did! I assume it's a complete motor. Does it come with the intercooler? You'll need everything on the motor + the VAM (if it doesn't come with it) and another computer. The PE is the factory SVO comp but an LA series will fill the bill quite nicely! Both the computer and VAM can be had on Ebay. If not, I have both that I can be talked out of for a reasonable price. Go to this site for wiring diagrams 'cause your gonna have to re-pin the computer connector. Very easy!

You're better off without the near worthless factory intercooler anyway. Think big honkin intercooler out in front of the radiator where intercoolers belong.

Get everything he's got for the motor. You'll be miles ahead if you can score at least the plugs for all of the sensors and crap. Even more miles ahead if you can score the ECU and the Vane Air Meter.

Like I said, all you'll need is a large VAM, VAM hose, and computer. You don't need a wiring harness, just repin your existing one. To get it running, you could bypass the intercooler and run a hose from the turbo outlet to the throttle body. Later on you could buy a FMIC and plumb it in. Shouldn't be hard at all!

thanx for the help i am going for a FMIC the next after the motor is complete and running im in need of a new set of wheels cause they are ass ugly and someone thought it would be funny to loosen the lugs on one wheel and i threw it going down the road thank god the car was not hurt i got it off the road into the grass just in time before the wheel came completely off sadly the wheel and tire were wasted tire poped and wheel was so damaged the lugs would not hold if i find out who ever did this will pay for a full set of wheels and tires

I will do what i can with the car I will use the provided link on wireing the motor to the mustang harness

http://www.allfordmustangs.com/forum...ine=1169526854This is it red coupe, solid black int , 5spd, and soon to come 2.3 turbo from a 86 mustang svo i talked to the guy he said it was in fact out of a 86 mustang my dad looked at the notes provided from you and said he could do it + he does wireing for a living so he knows how to repin the computer (once i get a new one) if i have anymore questions and i will ill ask because as you know now i have no idea on how to do this and i know a guy that lives maybe 30mins away with a 93 cobra and a 84-86 svo mustang that he had the computer out at one point

any other mods you think i should do other than wheels im getting new ones soon i do need to work on the passanger door right now its just there for looks nothing on it works the window quit working the inner door handle never worked and some asshole slam my door and broke the outside handle trying to open it back up and now the door wont open at all, other other than the small repairs needed the car could use a shine to the paint
