Default Found a 1987 turbo coupe and now need help putting it in a 1975 ghia

So I finally found a turbo coupe to take the 2.3l turbo out of and I need to know how to hook up all the gauges and pretty much everything else. If you have done a 2.3l turbo swap to a mustang II please help I want everything to work when I do this. Or if you know of any sites that give instructions on doing this to a mustang II.

The swap itself should not be difficult. Dealing with the exaust will be the most of the modifications. Make sure you pull the exaust manifold off the turbo coupe when tearing it apart.

Never thought about that kind of swap but sounds interesting.

I will take pics and document everything I do when I start but I've now decided to get another II to do the swap in. My 1975 Ghia is all original and I don't want to booger anything up so I want to now get another II that needs a little work and it won't matter if I mess something up. So my project is on hold for now but if anyone wants some info on how to do this swap www.turboford.net has info on it I was talking with some of those guys and they are very knowledgeable on this. Also if anyone knows of anyone in the Baltimore,MD area or close to MD that has a II that isn't too much money and wants to sell could you tell me so I can get the project up and running. The car has to be all there doesn't have to run and if its a coupe or ghia it doesn't need a title I have a title from a 1977 ghia and the vin from it that I can put on the car.
