First of all forget the fuel injection and go to a weber.Put full length hedman header on other side with mandrel bent exhaust.Inbetween put heavy crane cam(can't remember specs but the idle sounded like it was going to stall),Bore 30over 11.5 to 1 pistons oversized valves,forged crank from turbo,accel super coil,3:45 gears.There's not a stock 5.0 that will touch it.I just took out that 4cyl and put in stock 82gt 302 and was really disappointed-same milage but the 302 had alot less power.Now switching to 351 with a few mods and I will finally get more power then that "lil boat anchor" 2.3.The 4 cyl is about to go in a friends Capri with a milder cam.The shift on that engine was 7500rpm and had it in car for nine years.You should see the look on the faces of some 302 and 305 drivers when I picked up the hood when they caught me.Just trying to say Don't give up on the 2.3.
THANXX
