What if one was to swap in a 2.3 4cyl turbo into a Panther Waggin?
Would it be like a retro Eco Boost?
This would be totally out of the box thinking, yes?
I think my blood sugar is out of kilter.....

That motor moved the T-Bird to over 125. I had a friend with a 88 Bird and it moved. Half the weight might make up for the slightly less horsepower. I think they were 190 horses or so.sigpic

I dont see why it would be slow build one with the 300 hp recipe when they make 300rwhp they are usually in the 250-275rwtq range it would probably be faster than alot of the cars here.
