Hello Group
My son has a 1986 LX Mustang with a 2.3 liter, I was wondering what year
Thanks in advance

Hi . The motors that are compatible would be 86 to 93. I had to do the same replacement. I do believe your car has fuel injection right? The 2.3 is a good motor.
This is a carbureted motor. If I went to a injected motor would the electrical controls be hard to change? Just curious.
Yes if you get the harness and the computer. You also need to change the fuel tank and pump. I would think you would need to get a donor car That would be the cheapest way.
In the above sentence I should of said no it is not hard to convert to EFI.
I called a local junkyard and they say only '84 thru '86 will fit. Is this the only the years for direct replacement, the others are a little different in accessories or what? Any pointers would be appreciated.

In 87 the body style changed some but the motors will still be compatible.
