The oil pan is not symmetrical as it gets wider at the back. The great thing is this Ford Courier oil pan fits.
I am suprized the boost need be kept low on the 2.3 engine. I must admit this is my first time working on a Ford 2.3. I am quite experienced with turbo 80's Chryslers. My daily driver is an 85 Chrysler Laser with a custom reprogrammable ECM, water injection, intercooled, 3inch mandrel exhaust, and runs 19psi of boost. This Ford engine looks similar except strange electronics like a vane air meter.
Is the stock Ford computer optimized for fuel economy or should I convert to megasquirt or Chrysler SMEC?
