Merkur is the almost version of the Cosworth sierra, the Merkur has the thunderbird turbo coupe engine ford 2.3 turbo, good engine just the steel head lacks enormous air flow. Merkur encyclopedia has a great amount of info on these maybe this might help

www.turboford.org xlr8 is probably who would be the best authority on the 2.3 turbo SOHC motors. Also, i hear that the volvo heads can swap over to them and you can make good power. just do some looking about.

I think our setups are similar. good luck. get a head and port it alot, also oversized valves are nice. you have TBI dont ya? get rid of it. get forged everything.
