I don't see why you couldn't block the coolant flow temporarily...it may be a little difficult to get to the lower coolant fitting on the block, you're going to need to cap both nipples to keep the coolant out

Maybe you have a blown HG?

Yeah, thats what i think also, but there is no signs of it any where. When the other turbo was throwing oil all over the engine, is it possible to have contaminated a sensor or something, would it smoke like that if it was running real rich? All this this has come about all of the sudden. When the other turbo started going out and acting funny, then when we put on the newer one it fixed the oil problem, but then the white smoke. It still has power and it dodesn't run bad at all. Just once in awhile it pours out white smoke that dissipated very quickly, no fuel smell or anything. Maybe i wuill have to bring it into a shop, shudder.

I wll be ordering a new short block this week! Thanks to azgtx for the turbo parts. I will also be sending out the head for a 3 way valve gring and "agressive" porting. FMIC in th near future, already looking. I wiil take some photos of the build. Should be fun and it should run like a gazzele in heat when she is done. Any and all advise will be appreciated. This one will be like a sucker punch in the wallet for sure. Hope someone buys the mustang so It can all be done at once.

the car is now working perfectly, no problems at all!! Man I love that car when she is runnin' right.
Hey I met this older gentleman here in town that does all the wiring for this top of the line auto resto place in town. he is going to paint my body kit and turned me on to a couple friends of his that are also retired and do whatever thier trade was at home. IE; a guy who does appolstery work and another guy who does wiring!! I followed him home cause he was driving a red 94 NA with no plates. look what came of it, new friend, and connections. Good stuff indead.
