Mustang 92 L4 swap or build?

Question

I bought my daughter a 1992 Mustang 4 cyl 2.3 L. After a year or two, I wanted to bump up the volume a little with either a turbo and intercooler, or a 5.0. I'm aware that changes will have to be made toaccommodatee either, and brakes/suspension are the first issues to come to mind.

My initial thoughts are a mild camincreasee in lift/duration, better air flow in and out with mildhead workk. I'll be happy with 30-50% increase inHPP and about the same in torque. So a reliable car that will get out of the way of Peterbuilts quickly!

Has anyone done either build, and what resources did you use?

Thanks...Wally

Answer 1

Sounds more like Daddy's toy then daughter's car.  I'd go with the 5 litre.  "nothing beats inches but inches."

Answer 2

There is no replacement to displacement. Go 5.0 it will give you the power you seek easily. There are many How To V8 swaps and needed changes.
