My dad picked up a 2.3L Turbo four from a Merkur XR4Ti, (pretty sweet ride) and is in the process of swappin it. He read an article in Hot Rod Mag. about a guy who specializes in the Turbo four, and has been extremely successful racing them in his Ford Pinto (yes a Pinto). But how many cars can u think of do 11 sec quarter miles and still get 20+ MPG, didn't think u could! Anyway, the final product should be pretty sweet and ill show pics once the swap is complete.
