Those were swapped in 2015 for a turbocharged 2.3 L Lima inline-four and five-speed manual transmission from a Foxbody Mustang. The car rides on factory suspension with rack-and-pinion steering, disc brakes in front, and 15-inch wheels with Classic Radial LL800 165\/80 tires. The interior features a painted dash with Omega Kustom gauges, three-spoke steering wheel, tan vinyl seats, and a roll bar.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/engineswapdepot.com\/?attachment_id=69613\"
