im looking for a 2.3t car, in decent shape (motor anyhow), do ya'll know of any leads or where any are?

 

There are three Turbo Coupes sitting in a scrap yard off of 53, between Hunstville and Ardmore. I don't remember the name of the yard, but I know where it is and where the cars are. Don't know what kind of shape the motors are in though. Kendal might also have some already pulled TC engines that he's willing to sell. You would have to ask him about that though.

 

sweet, i might be able to get out there tomorrow, i hope he hasnt pulled them, i need the whole car for extra parts.

 

These are Thunderbirds you understand. Outside of the engines, I'm not sure how much you could use for Mustangs if that is your plan.

 

let me know how much they are asking and the shape

 

Here is a link showing the scrap yard from the sky. Its on Bethel Rd.

i'll do it, i might sneak my wife camera out there to get some pics of them

 

i know right where that is

 

On the off chance that you go, see if you can snag a prop valve off of one of the Turbo Coupes. I'm in need of one and haven't been able to get back to the yard to get one. It has to be from a TC.

 

what does it look like?

what kinda mpg's are you getting off yours?

 

None of my Turbo cars are running at the moment. The Capri is going through a resurection, while the Mustang sits behind the garage and awaits it's turn. Most people claim that they get 25-27 mpg average, so its not too bad, but not great either. The proportioning valve should be attached to the brake lines, inside the engine bay. Follow the brake line comming from the master cylinder, it will be about 2-3 inches long and an inch wide. I will see if I can find a picture of one and find out exactly where it is.

 

i'll look for one if i get out that way

 

A friend told me that it would be on the firewall, on the passenger side.

 

OMG! I miss my 79 Capri RS Turbo

 

Just found out that 87-88 TCs have ABS so that means no prop valve. Time to go to plan B. Now I just have to figure out what plan B is. Maybe a Lincoln LSC prop valve...yeah that would work.
