262c 200

By 262C, I'm assuming it's a Bertone Coupe??? What year is it? Any more info on the car?

Anyways, you would probably be better off dropping a turbo B23FT or B230FT than messing with the V6... They are not known to be good engines and parts are tough to come by. Also, performance parts basically don't exist... And even in top condition, the V6 won't be as powerful as a turbo/intercooled motor.

If it were my car and I had the money, I'd pull the V6 and replace it with a turbo intercooled B23FT/B230FT with a 3" exhaust and a modded airbox. Right there, you're at around 180HP/200lb-ft. If you want even more, you can get a bigger turbo, bigger intercooler, Ford T5 tranny, mist systems, oil squirters, etc etc.

Or you could drop in a 16-valve version of the B230 engine (B234F) for even more power. Oh yeah, and I don't know about the V6 tranny...I'm pretty sure they are compatable with the B23/0 engines. Should be the same anyway according to what I've read.
