Hi what 2.0 stuff can you use on a 2.3 ? I have a 1973 2.0 with a fair bit of h.p. stuff on it but the block is bad .I have a mint ,stock 1979 2.3 out of a pinto to use . Looking to use the intake ,header, fuel pump other things like that . Thanks!
Basicly nothing will interchange directly. None of the items you mentioned will fit the 2.3.
Sadly, for reasons unknown, when Ford built a "smog" version of the 2.0, they neglected to use anything on the already in production 2.0. Nothing can be changed. Even the stuff that looks the same is slightly off an will not work at all.
Hey thanks for the help guys ! I gess I'll pull the 2.0 ,give it a rebuild and put in the stock 2.3 for now . I found a 2.3 flywheel so I should be O.K. Long live the pinto !
Hey just to let you know that the 2.3l is not going to be a bolt in thing on your 73. It will require a some fabrication that will have to be undone when you put back in your 2.0L.
Hi, what would I have to change , mounts ? Thanks.
frame mounts, engine mounts, bell housing, ignition system, throttle cable.......thats just what I can think of right now.......
I gess I'll rebuild the 2.0 . Thanks for the help , you guys rule !
