 I bought this ugly s.o.b. for $27. Its a funny story. My wife bought a crossbow at a yardsale for $27,traded it for a muzzle looader, then traded that for this wonderful rusted Ford Courier! |

 Pulled the old 2.3 carb out and cleaned up engine bay. The Couriers motor mounts were a direct bolt-on although it used alternate mounting holes on the block. |

2.3t engine installed with turbocoupe transmission. Trans tunnel had to be noched back for shifter. had to adapt courier clutch line to tbird clutch line. Oil pan and pickup tube from 2.3 carb were swapped to fit crossmember. oil dipstick needs to be moved to alternate hole forward and old hole needs to be plugged. also need mini starter to clear steering linkage and crossmember  |
