the torque convertor has 3 or 4 i believe 4 bolts holding it to the flex plate. it is a 13 or 15 mm. you have to remove those and then you are free to take the flex off. there is a little hole that a ratchet with a deep well works good in. you have to
turn the crank to line the nuts up with the hole.

Best chances are to watch craiglist for a parted out 2.3 car. Or if you can find one at a
junk yard. Just with the junk yard its hard to know if it is a good motor or not.
I believe the harnes is the same, and all you need is the ECU.

you could use the v8 kit and just fab some motor mounts to fit for a 2.3 turbo out of a mustang svo or tbird turbocoupe, or get the bellhousing to bolt a t5 to the
zetec i forgot the company that makes it but i believe theres a thread somewhere on here about a t5 and a zetec for a kit car or something of that sort
