Ok, ur good here but that without the famouse pinto mod, Uh, you got to do the mod cause the car is cool without it but it's Awsome with it. If you do not know what the mod is it is simply, getting a 1980-1987 ( I belive ) T Bird engine, rippin out the pinto motor and putting the T bird power in place of it. I'v seen these rip on the tracks with the little Turbo 6. The bird motor is suppose to just bolt right up. It might have been the Turbo 4 bangger that just bolts up but, you'll still have a performance increse. This is just a suggestion.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

Yeah, I know the orig engines were nice but it would be soooo cool to see a Pinto wagon with smoke rolling off the tires.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

Actually ive seen a pinto with an injected 2.3 smoke a camaro with a built 427 sb. The pinto just hooked up that well, instead of just burning rubber and sitting there."its better to rule in hell, than serve in heaven."

Chevyman; I wonder If he even knows what a 427 looks like. Because it sounds like he might have been looking at a honda!
