Wow, if you love fords so much, why not save the nissan fans some trouble and get a damn ford!I know when we look at cars we like looks, but i think the main part of the car we all are really interested in is the power plant, so if you have a 240 with a ford mototr why the hell didnt you save money by purchasing a ford from the start, also those 5 Ltr mustang engines suck dude, they are slow, MANY and I mean MANY camaros have beatin those things, and i know of N/A Z32's that beat those all motor, no spray!

And Its Hideous, Just terrible, Sad for us cuz theres an S13 gone to waste by some USDM guy who thinks Forced Induction is dumb

you guys are dumb...he said right off that he was just doing it for giggle because the car was wrecked and was going to be junked....he only had a mustang front end around and needed a car to drive for a few days...

What is he gonna buy new body pannels for a day or two while he trys to find a new car???? He's just doing custom work to see if he could to solve a temporary problem...

Okay this is my opinion

YOU ARE A FREAKING RETARD! WHAT THE HELL PUT IT IN YOUR MIND TO BUY AN S13 IN THE FIRST PLACE IF YOU WERE JUST GONNA GO W/ FORD??????? YOU WANT A MUSTANG GO BUY ONE!! AND DONT SAY FORD IS BETTER. I OWNED A MUSTANG BEFORE THE 240 AND I WILL NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER DRIVE ANOTHER FORD AGAIN! I REPEAT NEVER EVER! I WENT TO POP THE HOOD ONE DAY AND THE PIECE THAT YOU PULL INSIDE THE CAR, PULLED OUT. LITERALLY WIRES AND ALL. IT WAS SITTING IN MY HAND. I COULD NEVER POP THE HOOD. P.O.S 100% AND YOU CANT WORK ON THEM. I COULDNT EVEN GET MY HAND IN THEIR TO CHANGE THE OIL FILTER. IT WAS A BIATCH. I FEEL THAT YOU NEED TO GO TO A MUSTANG FORUM WHERE YOU WILL BE LOVED, NOT A NISSAN FORUM. THANKS!

I can't get my hand in to change the oil on my 240................. oh well... we call know Ford's are pieces of crap, you don't have to restate that... and who cares if he did that to his 240? not like he acually tried to do the conversion to look cool, he did it too see if it would work...

For real, I think this site needs a reading lesson for those of you who can't read. Alot of people blow up on people for their thread, and end up looking very dumb because they can't read, i've seen it happen alot and so have alot of you. Make a sticky on how to read so people wont be retarded

i know one thing... you never put a other make engine into your 240.... but the diference is , all of you, are from usa, live in usa.. the cost of the engine is in $$us .... its so easy....for my and were i from... there are other engines cheap than ford... but i like ford because the engine is . i dont know how to tell it, but its strong... i drive with 3.5 liters of oil a lot... less water... and the engine support !! the engine can run with only 4 cilindres and you can get help or travel a little of miles .... so... when i was running my old ka24e... when a spark fail, its run ugly... strumble much .... .... .... i like ka24e because its has good things.. but it need more money to repair or other things !!! i like the nissan turbo engines , but i dont have much money. !!

Imports should never have to be associated with domestics, whether it be body parts, engine, or especially drifting.. I hate seeing mustangs, and those new GTO's drifting... it would piss me off if I had to drift when them... but that's just me.. i'm stupid. and tired.
Your absolutely right! who in their right mind would not want to be JDM tyte?!?! I mean liek JDM dorifto mang, s13 all the way turbo boosty gymkana sideways action!

Lets jump off the bandwagon and not bash domestics. Did any foreign automakers invent a v8 thats been around for almost 50 years, capable of 1000+ hp, thats simple, easiest motor ever to work on, the best aftermarket support, all in a cheap bulletproof motor such as the chevy small block 350? If you dont think foreign cars and domestics should share anything in common, then maybe we should only have american cars and the japanese can have their imports, also I have a whole website that will dissagree with you on swapping domestic motors into imports, Hybridz.org - oh but yeah keep the L seriese motors because were so bandwagon that we think any import motor is better than domestic, even though it weighs basically the same, worse weight distribution, and about 100 less hp stock for stock.

and do NOT bash the ford 2.3L turbo that came in the merkur XR4Ti

Give the guy a break for having a wrecked pile of **** car and wanted to do something never done before...

this thread is too JDM for me.
