I had a buddy in Vegas that had a 73 pinto not the hatch back though.
He dropped a 302 in it with a B & M blower, Man was that thing fast.
But the headers really took him some work, he had to cut holes through
the side walls of the engine compartment to run them thru.
I believe he was in the mid 9's in the 1/4 mile.
I always loved that car, it was tubed and fat tires in the back skinny
tires in the front and a single scoop right over the carb.
It was painted a metalic dark forest green.
Siggy had one fast pinto. Kurt
