2.3L HI-PERF. mods

Who out there is well versed in what is available for 2.3L 8-plug Ford engines? Most of what I see is for 6-cylinder/V-8 conversions.

HELP!

Check out this website:

It will tell you everything you need to know to get that little jewel charging and roaring to go.
But plan on spending some bucks and a lot of hours.

just shy of supercharging or turbo charging, the head is where you"ll get the best results. very restrictive design, intake and exhaust are good too. my '91 from the fact. made 100hp at the flywheel, now its closer to 135hp w/out touching the head yet. if you just want 0-60mph or similar performance try to re-gear the rear-end, it does make a big difference. try Esslinger for better than good 2.3L parts. good luck.
