4 turbo 2.3l 86-87

rangerout · #1 05-24-2009, 09:54 AM

i also have 4-2.3 liter turbo charged and might have 2 almost full car harness i think the electric window stuff is cut but that would be the only thing i cut. i have 3 inter cooled and 1 that is not. fully dressed engines with all the brackets one has the bigger t bird intercool other has small mustang one. one was in my buddies 5.0 killer nice engine.
i take $350 a engine your choice (but the 5.0 killer)these will need to be rebuild. one burnt pistion i think other i dont know about it much buddy gave it to me with the 5.0 killer engine.
the 5.0 killer is $800 has adjust cam sprocket, crane cam, many other mods this engine was awsome was going to put it in a ranger but lost interst and no money...
the harness i take $200 for the t-bird one with the electric control shocks
the other harness i take $175.
both will come with everything i have left all the little computers, maf's, ect ect. got a box of stuff for each of them. most of the stuff is way to big to ship and heavy. each box for harnes is probly 30-40 lbs at least with all the computers and stuff so i dont want to ship them.
i live in iowa by iowa city.

do the 2.3s have the turbo's on them?do they run good?i'm interested in a complete setup.

yes i have one that ran very well as it has been in my shop on a engine stand after being pulled out of my buddys car. it has a crane cam i dont know the spec. on it. the cam was index and a indexing gear was put on it. i have it for a back up to my mekur xr4ti that i had as with all the other turbo stuff. i sold my mekur and dont want to put it in a ranger anymore (to many other projects). i can also tell you as i told him if your wanting to run a manual trans in the factory ecm get rid of the air vane that was the only trouble he had was the vane would slam open to hard then bounce back with a false reading that made the car jump forward then stall out if he would have got rid of the air vane like i told him the engine would have stay in his mustang but he put a v8 in and call it quite on the 4 cly stuff so i end up with it all because i did not want to see it scraped.

so how complete do you want???? i have 2 harness ... the engine im talkin about up above has 98% off the senceors, intake, turbo, in basic as complete of engine i have seen in a long time. hooo i forgot it has an incooler also i have two the t bird, and the smaller mustang one. i got a bell houseing for the set up if your wanting to run manaul i got alot of stuff it took me 3 truck loads to get it all from his house when i pic it up.
for all the other engine i NEVER SEEN THEM RUN they turn over i do know one has a burnt piston-shot rings. well let me know what your or how much of complete your looking for and i get some pic up of the engine i got so you have something to look at. all the engine i got have oil pan to intake complete so are missing a pulley or ps pump but mostly complete but need work like rebuild or rering. thanks for look'n hope i can sell you something you need or want later.

i would want the one on the stand.it'll be going in a 94 ranger so i'll need the harness and computer.also the truck is a 5 speed i think the motor should bolt right up to my bellhousing after all a 2.3 is a 2.3 right? the problem is it might take a while to get to iowa to pick it up.if i like it i'd pay ya' for it no problem.post some pics if you don't mind.thanks

rangerout · #5 07-27-2009, 03:59 AM

sure i get some pic up. i am working 12 hour over nights i will have a chance to pull it out take off the plastic bag-(big trash bag lol) and take some pic's but will try and post them tuesday or wesday those days i have "off" from my main job which should give me time to do it. i will have to do some digging for the ECM if i still have it it's not the one i would use as it is the least powerful ecm and for an auto trans but will check anyway. did you want the intercooler that was on the engine on the stand also it was the smaller mustang one it was taken off to remove engine i also have the big t-bird one but dont know if they inter change with out removeing the brackets for the big one.
where are you from.
thanks

rangerout · #7 07-28-2009, 08:13 AM

the hood has the scoops and has a good boot to seal on the intercoolers. i have more then pictured if you want a speail picture of a part or place on the engine let me know i try to snap a shot and post it..

rangerout · #8 07-28-2009, 08:29 AM

the picture of the harness in the box is to show you there out of car and where they had been stored at keeping in mind they are out of an 1988 t bird or 1987 the boxes are heavy and i did not have any help to move them down out of my garge's atic or i would have spread out the harness for the picture. like i said it was the hole car harness with ecm connector all that would be missing if anything is the door stuff . all the stuff i have been storeing has been inside BUT THE TBIRD HOOD (ran out of space). i can take pictures of the other engines to well hope this helps. sorry about the wait

the price's are NOT firm they are guide lines of what i thought they are wearth and less then what i paid for them. so if you dont like the price shoot me a REASONABLE offer and we will go from there.

pendelton · #10 08-03-2009, 03:57 AM

i'm doing some checking on how much it would cost to have everything shipped it may be easier then driving all the way out there.i know they made 2 different motors in those years 1 was a 145 hp the other was a 175 hp.when you get a chance see if you can find the numbers on the engine(the one on the stand)and i'll run em' see which one it is.thanks.

rangerout · #11 08-05-2009, 05:16 AM

where are you from. i do have a truck maybe meet half way or something maybe depending on how far (for a little deseil money)... i work tonight then im off 1 day i will try to get it then unless they call me in again. if i do find the number i will post the number with hopefully a readable picture would you happen to know where the number is located at on these blocks. is there anything else you what a picture up close of. just remeber if you do drive your self over you can choose the harness you want and we can lay them out so you get a good look at them. same with everything else i do like dealing person to person that way if they see something that i might have missed they dont have it then call me back wanting the shipping back and send the part back. just to make sure i do put this in here they are sold AS IS. plus i do like to let people check the stuff out. later i have to go to bed now i just got off a 12 hour shift.later
