New Ford 2.3 Turbo Engine Block Thunderbird Coupe Mustang Svo Xr4ti Sandrail on 2040-parts.com

Hi, up for sale is a new genuine Ford 2.3 Turbo block from the mid to late 80's.  I purchased it for use in a boat project from a local enthusiast, but no longer need it.

This block would be the perfect starting point for a hot, from the ground up, 2.3 turbo engine build.  It was also inspected by a local machine shop who said the crankshaft line boring was perfect.

The previous owner painted it.  It's actually a pretty nice paint job, with just a little bit of overspray on the front and back.  This overspray can easily be removed with paint stripper.  The previous owner also installed bolts in all of the holes before painting which is nice.

This block was plateau honed at the factory.  This honing process considerably reduces break-in time and wear on the engine.

It has one little flaw.  About half of one of the mounting holes on the back is broken off.  Sorry, I didn't get a good picture of it.  I can post up a picture of it if needed.  I've been told that this will have virtually no effect, and that the V8s use the same bolt pattern, which means it should still be more than strong enough for a 4-cylinder, even a highly modified one.  It is a non-threaded hole, and a little more than half of it is still there, so it will hold a bolt just fine.  Perhaps it can be repaired if needed?  I don't know.

Buyer to pay for and make all shipping arrangements, but I'll wrap it in thick plastic, strap it to a pallet, and deliver to a local shipping company.
