Hello all I'm Dane I found this site by searching google for 2.3 mustang forums this was the first on the list

1989 Mustang 2.3 LX notchback

Mods:
Air Silencer Remove
170 Thermostat

Future Mods:
Who Knows Hopefully 2.3T but I bought this a beater car and it's in really good shape... no rust or nothing so It may become another one of my project cars

Hi all I'm Jerry

89 LX 2.3 n/a
Current Mods: unsure really, wife bought it so I would have a beater after I get back from being deployed. This is a project car cause I cant touch my next new car. Per the boss (wife)

Future mods:
New paint job
Katskin Interior
Rims
Possible V8 swap or 2.3T swap unsure atm
of course all swaps associated with the engine swap... tranny, rear end, headers, exhaust and drive shaft.
Saleen body kit

Honestly hoping to get about 350-400hp out of this project so that when I by my new car and can test them both at the track... Don't be mad by my new car will be the 08 Camaro V8 (which ever V8 is out first.)
