So to get down to the nitty gritty, the game plan is a Super Coupe 3.8 swap with a single turbo setup in place of the supercharger.
Before you roll your eyes, a bit of some background haha. In 08' we got the itch to turbo our buddy's perfectly good Super Coupe. Ended up running a holset with a megasquirt for the fuel management. Life happened and the car has sat for the last 8 years.
I made the mistake of buying a car in the dark and picked up my 85 Ranger with a very tired 302 that was leaking anything and everything. I probably payed too much and as I tore into it I found that the motor was shot.
Making the best of it, I'm planning on swapping the 3.8 with the M5R2. I managed to pick up the pedal assembly here, just need to find a top shift assembly now since the S/C has the shifter hanging off the tailshaft.
Look forward to keeping this thread updated.
