Evansville car w/ Ford motor

I was at the junkyard today and saw what used to be a nice FB that had some sort of Ford motor in it, somebody ganked it already. 2.8 Turbo maybe?
Anyways, I was looking around and found the dyno sheet in the glovebox. 400+HP. Nice.
I was just wondering if the guy was a forum member and still around..

The car is at liberty pull apart in Evansville, IN.
I guess you mean the 'whole' car? heh No, somebody got all the good parts. No rear, no engine, no computer or harness. It has a nice grey dash, though, and some black interior parts. The crossmember is still there if you're interested in putting in that Ford type motor..

Mike! Long time no see. Did you ever sell your car?
