contemplating installing a turbo on my 97 with a 4.2 manual. wondering if its been done before, if so anything to lookout for and lookin for a place to find preformance parts.

Go here and asked these guys. Several have done it already and there's plenty of info on there.

You can get headers for a V-6 Mustang to fit your 4.2 also, just letting you know.

No worries, good luck. There's a guy on there with a 4.2 turbo making serious power! Something like 450 or 500.

Under drive pulleys :

Under drive pulleys are easy to install and also help in the power dept.

You can use 3.8 headers from a Mustang V-6. Not sure what price you're looking to spend. Good headers can be pricey, so I wouldn't skimp if possible.

Electric fans also help add some power that's lost from your fan. Although the ones I installed were over $500. They did add to some power back and keep the motor cooler on hot summer days.

Not to mention you can always mess around with the gears for some extra ump!
