Not sure on the Lincoln oil pan. It would probably work. But I have never tryed it. Also yes I am changing the rear in my car. The stock 4cyl 7.5" rearend is absolute junk. I'm swapping in an 8.8" rear from a '89 GT with a rebuilt Trac-Loc that has 1 extra clutch per side and a set of 3.55 gears.

Looking at how much work, and how expensive this is going to be (for me at least) I've decided to try to get more ponies out of the 105 hp 2.3L. Im not too worried about the work part, but the money is a big deal for me. Im just lookni at this one website, and I have found a cam for my car, and a couple other miniscule things. The most I can find is stuff that doesn't add horsepower. If you maybe know of any places that I could get hooked up with maybe a header or an intake manifold or something, that would be great. I'm going to try with my step-brother to see if he might know of anything, but help from everyone else would be greatly appreciated. Im kinda considering a turbo, but that means I have to get dished pistons and stronger rods and all that expensive stuff. So I'm just going to see how much hp I can make with all motor. I'm looking at taking a welding course to get my certificate, and I might see if I can make myself a header. But if you could offer tips to increase horsepower universally, like oil cooling or placement of certain engine parts or configurations, that would be awesome. I know that there are tricks to get horsepower without bolting stuff on, but a helping hand on which stuff to modify would point me in the right direction. I'm only an 18 year old, so I have a lot to learn. I carry alot of knowledge from the import tuner world. I know alot about turboing and stuff like that. I'd like to know the secrets of getting horsepower without heavy modification. I also have a lot of ideas of how to build horsepower but, unfortuantely, not the resources or the money. Well, I'll keep you updated.

All engines are created equal, well to a point.

Meaning they all respond to better air flow. Headers, pullies, muffelers, head, intake, etc. will add power if properly matched. The 2.3 is a very good engine, I seen them in the 9s.

Thanks for the info. I already knew the power adder stuff, but didnt know the 2.3 has made it into the 9's. Im just looking for where I can find this stuff. Thanks anyway.

Google doesnt like me. It gives me all the wrong stuff.
