Ok, sounds good.
Just kept getting mixed opinions, a few people told me the water would have screwed the whole motor up!

Re: Putting a BA/BF Turbo motor into an EA?

Ok, don't worry about this then, just asking some opinions and stuff. I'll do some more research then.

Just another quick question.
My car played up, the coolant was leaking into the motor.
We took the head off and found it was the gasket, so if we just replace that, flush it out and all that ...

needfordspeed wrote:$1000-$20000

Need more info
My cars like exact same as the one in your pic :P
well lets not think about price,
So its pretty easy to just find a wrecked BA or whatever, and get it put in?
anything else much involved besides the motor I guess?
eg, keep original transmission and stuff?

Putting a BA/BF Turbo motor into an EA?

Just contemplating options really,
How much would I be looking at in spending to get a turbo motor from a newer ford for my EA.
Is it worth it, or is putting a turbo in the motor already in it a better option?
I dunno just really want to see people opinions :)
