Default WTB: couple of ford 2.3 parts

I'm looking for a ford 2.3 manual flywheel and the bolts.

Also, looking for a 87-89 mustang 2.3 engine harness and ecu. dont really care if its auto or manual I'm just getting a project engine running on an engine cradle.

I'd rather pick up locally here in charleston if possible since the flywheel is obviously heavy to ship.

turboford.org is a great resource Is the Mustang NA or turbo? There is a junkyard in Ravenel that has a T-bird turbo coupe, manual trans, if its still there

been on turboford since 2004 actually. Was just hoping someone close by had stuff laying around so I dont have to worry about paying shipping on a 30lb flywheel.

grabbed the bellhousing/block plate/starter and trans at the rivers avenue u-pull on sunday actually. Just couldnt get any of the flywheel bolts to budge. looked like someone was trying to get at the engine as the a-frame was there.

gonna head back this weekend and if the engine is still there gonna give the flywheel another shot with the proper tools lol. just being lazy and anticipating the engine being gone

I'm looking for another T5 to install, 3rd gear is going in mine. Sometimes I have to almost jam it in to 3rd. I'm getting rady to tear it down again. I have to replace the head gasket, swap the turbos, install my Walboro, and search for whats causing my drivelime vibration.

I have a 4 cyl t-5 down here in Richmond hill
the engine is the coil pack type so doubt the ECU and harness are any use to you

If the car is lowered, try shimming the transmission mount up about a 1/2" to get the original angle back. Doing that fixed the vibration on my car.
