Anyone know if there has ever been a 2.3T 83-88 S/S T-Bird

[ALMACK]

I am looking to find out if (since 1983) if there has ever been a 1983-1988 Turbo 2.3 Thunderbird entered in Super Stock ? (IHRA or NHRA)

I'm not interested in the GT class entries with V-8's, but rather a 2.3 Turbo car.
I know there were 2.3T Mustangs, but curious if any member here remembers a Thunderbird with that engine ?

Thanks

Ken Robinson has a 2.3 turbo t-bird for sale.

Yes Dan. At least that is the plan.
SS/PA index is 12.65 and my car (at SS/PA weight) usually runs 12.40's. (in stocker trim)
I'm just a roll bar away from SS.

True.
He has a '87 or '88.
And 87-88 Turbo Coupes are not currently allowed in SS.

It's and 88 him and I built it.

The 1988 T-Bird Turbo Coupe is listed in the guide with a HP rating of 190, but with no notation that it is a Stock or Super Stock factor. Does that automatically make it a Stock Eliminator combination only? Interesting omission!

I remember seeing a T-bird at the Ford Motorsport Nationals back in the early 90's at Maplegrove and it was match racing a new 351 crate motored car (Super Ford project car) and it had a ss class designation on it but I can't remember the class off hand. If I remember correctly the car was black in colour. I think the Bird won 2 out of 3 races and it was running in the 11.70 range!

There was a guy out of kanas that ran a mustang turbo car back in the day in SS but don,t remember his name. Tom
