you can do anything to anything for the right amount of money and workmanship. My buddy has a 4cyl svo mustang that runs low 7's in clemson, sc, but i dont even want to ask how much money he has in that thing. It is a sleeper and is very fun to drive :)

check out the turbo coupe/svo boards as they are 2.3 turbo'd from the factory. 79bluebird's brother is doing the very same thing

Thats a little 4 banger that runs into the low 9s in the 1/4.

Dont mind the idiots that are making the film, they are about as dumb as namewastaken

lol look for the Turbocoupe/SVO motor and into a Volvo B234F head (DOHC Cosworth/porsche designed head). i'm not sure on all the particualars but from what i understand the 2.3 ford is almost identical to the 2.3 T volvo so forged rods should be easy to come by.

If I remember correctly, when Crazy Hal did the Volvo twin cam head mod, there was some custom fabrication that had to be done. Not sure though. Too bad Charleston Racing is no longer. I could probably find the build thread.

That little 80 9sec 4 banger was pretty kick ass..... awesome slingshot footage for sure!

Dude just put a nice forged rotating assembly with some arp head studs along with a ported head and if you turbo it you should be good on the stock cam......go crazy man, if you have the money you can make that little sucke fly.

Also it will handle insanely better than the 302 version due to the weight distribution being so much better than that heavy lump in the front of that little car.

I had a 89 fox vert with a 2.3T from the Turbo coupe and it was the MOST FUN of the 10 Mustangs I have owned! Even in stock form the turbo was fun to drive.
