I'd like to swap in a later model ford motor into my '73 Mav for reliability and "wow factor" purposes.

Has anybody tried putting a 2.3L 4cyl turbo from a T-bird turbo coupe into a maverick or comet? I saw the guy in hot rod mag who put one in a Pinto and I think it looks like a cheaper cool swap (no N2O though).

The problem I see is the side mounted turbo hitting the pass side shock tower.

Any thoughts.
