It has come time to rebuild my poor little 4 banger...the top end is ticking pretty bad....I want to build a complete separate engine and turbo charge it...but i'm having trouble finding parts...where is the best place to find perfomance parts?

 

Welcome to FTE!
How about starting with a Turbo T Bird? If you could get the whole car, you'd have everything needed to convert.
Use the search feature here & type in "turbo T Bird" & see what comes back. There's been many posts on the subject including best years to get & why.
AL.

 

Don't forget the Mercury Merkur.......it had a 2.3 turbo as well

 

the 2.3l is the same block as the turbo, I have a complete engine that I am in prosess of yanking (goin the v8 route) it has the port for the turbo oil drain. I have everything out except the block. if you want it email me.
