Actually the project has been delayed due to finances, but I'm still gathering parts for it. I currently have two different 4g63 projects going, and it's partially due to the car I was driving going down while I was in the middle of getting things together for this project. So now my Starion ESI-R ...

4g63-t into an 89 Merkur XR4TI

Hi everybody, new to the list and figured I would drop in to say hello and let everyone in on my current project.
I hope to be the first person to complete a 4g63-t into an 89 Merkur XR4TI.
Sounds nuts enough I'm sure, swapping a Mitsubishi engine into a German born, English bred Ford but hey when ...
