Alot of the main people on this forum have shown nothing but love for the 2.3t..

This includes dave,brett,scott,pat,shawn,adam,tony,george,

Fast is fast and i've never had any of the fellow tech guys give me a hard time short of kidding around. On the other hand if you avoided buying something because you were concerned about other peoples approvalthen the 5.0 is the way to go.

 

It seems like this was typed up as to make me sound like a band waggoneer. I will go with the benefit of the doubt and believe that it wasn't, considering I said I wanted a 2.3T but settled for the 5.0.

 

Have you seen pics of mine?
I highly doubt you would be interested in trading with the current shape the Cougar is in.

 

like levi said, there's a ton of love for the 2.3 turbo. there's actually a lot of people on here that have them. that's one of the reasons i still come to this site even though i've lived in kansas city for 3 years now. if you want a 2.3t, go to the junkyard and buy a motor, or buy one from someone here. if i still lived there, i'd sell you one... i've got 4 spare motors. every time i see one for sale, i go buy it. lol.
