hey you guys, i was just wondering if anyone has ever used a 2.3 turbo out of merkur in a roadster. Do any of you guys know what mods would have to be done in order to do this? thanks

Isn't that the engine "TurboRagtop" is using?

Correct, Dave. The engine in my ragtop came out of a 1989 Merkur XR4Ti.

Karl,

Did you by the way have or save the tranny from the merkur?

Russell,
No, it was an automatic and I sold it with the rest of the car. I wouldn't use the manual anyway, they are pretty weak. A T5 is better.
