So close!
It is good to know the 2.3 is a solid engine design. I want to convert to megasquirt but it is not currently in the budget. For now this 84 computer seems to work great. I have a SRT4 intercooler sitting around that I may try to fit in front of the radiator. I plan to buy a wideband LC1 soon so I can start upping the boost. I also have an extra water injection system that used to be on a turbo Dodge Daytona. How much intercooled boost is typically allowed for the early (84) turbo-coupe electronic systems?
I ordered some 3 point seat belts on e-bay. As soon and are installed I will take the car for a drive. Regarding the frame strength, it is hard to tell how the car will perform in the event of a collision. I do not want to find out! Do you have any suggestions on where to weld in additional steel for safety?
I see kits on ebay to change the axle ratio of a ford 9". This car has very tall tires so I am considering ordering a 3.77:1. I guess I should wait until it is driven to know the actual amount of change needed.
Here are some more pictures.
