Title: Hello, just saying "HI"!
Post by: fastmonkeywheels on May 24, 2007, 04:37:16 PM
Good day,

I stopped by to post a want add for a 2.3 front sump oil pan, but I think I might hang around a bit for the tech you guys have here.

I have a 1978 Mustang II Coupe with a 2.3 Turbo out of an 86 T-Bird.  An unfortunate oil pan leak caused me to pull the motor to check bearings.  Thankfully only the rod bearings were a little pitted so I should be on the road again soon.

My 78 is presently stock for 86 TC standards, but that's just so I can start at the beginning.  I'm a software/electrical engineer and have been looking into the Dodge ECU system since most of the Merkur guys around here are running that.  However, I intend to change it up a little and use Ford's EDIS instead of the Dodge distributor.  Should make for a really cheap programmable DIS engine management system.  I know some of you are running 2.3T so that's why I mentioned it.

Take Care!
