Yes they are. It's heresy to say, but they are the best of the fox chassis cars, not the Mustang. My first car that I drove during HS was an Twilight Blue '88. After years of searching I finally found this two owner Canyon Red '87 in KS last September. There's just not many decent examples left.
I've seen at least one Turbo Coupe with a 3.5 EcoBoost swap. The only downside is that you're stuck using an auto transmission. A 2.3 EcoBoost with a 6 speed would definitely be interesting to see.
At this point, I plan to keep the Lima that's in it stock. I just need to install better flowing exhaust and replace the factory boost control solenoid with a Gillis boost controller. Unfortunately, the previous owner routed the exhaust into a single exit after the Y pipe. I need to remove everything and replace it with a larger diameter pipe with dual exit at the rear. Someday down the road, I may upgrade the turbo, swap over to a Stinger ECU, etc.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. This definitely helps narrow things down so that I can start making phone calls.
Radiator Shops. Getting as scarce as Hens teeth.
Starter & Alternator Shops. Practically extinct. Check on Antiques Road Show.
Muffler Shops. They're retiring and dying off. Very few left.
Upholstery Shops. Some still around, most are gone.
Local Mom & Pop greenhouses and nurseries. Very few left. You've got a couple of big ones in OKC. Prices are outrageous for a tomato plant. Don't buy your plants from wallymart, they usually don't want to spend a few $$$ on watering and labor to do so. WTF is going on when a tomato plant costs $5.00 or more. For ONE.
It's a changing world, dominated by the big huge unfriendly mega corporations.

I have heard really good things about Mustang Muffler. I've been in there a few times. They used to always show videos of their work on Facebook
No, it won't require any tune, etc. Tuning an EEC isn't as simple as modern ECM/ PCM. The Gillis boost controller is not going to be set any higher than the factory max boost pressure of 16 psi.
Next week is his last week I think.
I suppose EV's will eventually put all these places out of business as they use non of those parts.
