Rally Pat Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I scored today. I found a 2.3 from a Turbocoupe in Cincinnati on TurboFord. He was originally asking $250 for it, I payed $160. The surprise I got was that it already had a gutted upper intake and a semi-knife edged lower intake. That takes a lot of the work out of whatever engine I was going to buy. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/MegamanEXE/rx7%20project/DSC02023.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/MegamanEXE/rx7%20project/DSC02022.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/MegamanEXE/rx7%20project/DSC02021.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/MegamanEXE/rx7%20project/DSC02020.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/MegamanEXE/rx7%20project/DSC02019.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/MegamanEXE/rx7%20project/DSC02018.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v202/MegamanEXE/rx7%20project/DSC02017.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 Is this going in the Ranger? No, an FC. Are you still looking for an FC shell? Yes. The guy in Cincinatti I was buying from is moving to Indy, and can no longer wait for me, which I understand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
