Good Ford 2.3 TURBO head

usmcgunner · 10-08-2012, 10:59 AM

I need a good 2.3 Turbo Ford head, to put on my Merkur, when it gets down here this weekend. I have a fully built race head being finished up, in Delaware, but wont be ready.

I want something I cant put on, and start driving it again, its been a LONG 4 8 months since I last drove it.

The heads are compatable with the Thunderbird Turbo Coupe, or Mustang SVO.

if you want an actual good uncracked 2.3t head, good luck. stupid hard to find now days. might get lucky on turboford.org.

just grab a DP head from a mustang or ranger at the u-pull for cheap, leave one side of plugs just in and not connected and knock yourself out while waiting on the built head.

I can find them everywhere on TF, and Merkursport, but nothing close enough to pick up. I shipped a Ranger Roller head to TX. Right before I got this head. I really should have kept it.

Not needed anymore. I got my built head. I got it finished, and is now on the car. I need to get it torqued down, and timing set. Before I run it, though, I need to get a custom piece of intercooler piping made. My blow off valve hits the ground,
