My SV came with a 2.3 l. Ford taken from a '80 Courier
pickup. The PO also used the transmission from that truck
which has a poor set of lower gear ratios for a sport car.
Does anyone know what transmission I should be using? From
what?? How do I find one??? Are there special adapters
required other than the drive shaft????
The oil dip stick tube broke off as I was preparing the car
for my daughter's impending return from the freshman year in
college. While seeking this part I have gotten conflicting
information from Ford parts men. Two guys here in New
Orleans assure me that the engine was manufactured by
Mazda. The place where I found the part in Ohio says the
truck was made by Mazda, but the engine is a Ford. Any one
know for sure?
If my daughter's grades hold this semester above 3.0 she
gets to take the car back to college next year. I would
like to add a "non truck" manifold and a set of headers
before it leaves. Is after market stuff like this available
for this engine? Know where??
I hope that I have not over loaded this posting with
questions. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks
Paul Gilbert
