Haven't you heard the old saying "It takes a Chevy guy to tune a Ford". Or was it "A chevy guy to make a fast Ford", I forgot.
Oh well, you know what I mean.

I remember now. "It takes a Chevy engine to make a Ford fast". That's the one.

lol, turbo pinto. reminds me of the chev 350 supercharged 1980's mitsubishi colt i once saw. hilarious ;p

Why waste your money trying to turbo the 2.0 and rebuild it when you can pull a 2.3T out of a thunderbird turbo coupe or a merkur or an SVO (but if you found an SVO i'd kill you if you tore it apart), swap it in, up the boost, build an exhaust for it, and have 275+ horsepower, with fuel injection reliability and power. Not to mention the 2.3T block will take 500+ horsepower easily in stock form, which would take some new rods/pistons in the 2.0.

I didn't mean anything about the Chevy/Ford joke. Hope I didn't make any enemies.
Speaking of the SVO, a good friend of mine had one of those, or at least almost a complete one. Someone stripped the turbo but left everything else. He sold the car super cheap one day. I could have picked it up for a hundred bucks if I would have known.
