Saw this yesterday on the TF FB group. Good for my budget that you are far away!

I was really hoping they swapped in an f2t turned up to 11. The ford 2.3 turbo is another motor I like a lot. Good thing, it is far enough away for me to not seriously think about checking it out.

yeah that's a sweet truck. I might need to look for something like this for a shop truck. 

Also, I think this might answer curtis question from his engine swap thread...

While cool that's not as cool as a double ended bi turbo FL/Ohio drive and drive.

I wish i had the time to drive it up to ohio to deliver :-( I work too many jobs to be able to take any time off. 

It would make it up there no problem too. I really dont want to sell, the truck is so much fun, I just cant work on it anymore without killing myself.

Here I is.

I could save that engine from an inevitable hurricane.  I'd be doing a good deed.

Got an estimate of power or dyno numbers? How about 0-60?  Ever been down the 1/4 mile?  I'm asking out of curiosity for myself, and it may help to define "decently quick".  How is the suspension, handling any good or does it drive like a truck? Any upgraded woah to stop all the go?

In reply to Justjim75 :

Ive walked a newer cooperS and is250. Cooper from a dig while making a corner. Is250 from a roll. It should be between 250-300 hp just going on what i have for mods and the amount of boost im runnig (20psi) Engine is set updup tohto run 400hp, but it would need way more boost or a bigger turbo. I do have a 70-110 run video somewhere. Have not had a chance to run it at the track, damn life. No performance brake upgrades. Suspension is stock with kyg gr2 shocks. Doesnt really handle like a truck, handles like any other mazda truck. Hardto explain if you have never driven one.
