Had a Pinto when I was a kid. It never blew up but it did beat (blew) the pants off a lot of cars on the street and at the track.
Tubbed it and dropped in a 350 Turbocharged small block with a 400 high stall box with a 9" Ford rear out back on ladder bars.
High 11's at the track with wrinkle wall MT's if you could keep it straight and off the wheelie bars.
Great high school car. Wish I had it today. What a hoot.
Yeah, I remember seein' a few mods like yours. That's an insane amount of engine for a small car with such a short wheelbase!
Not to mention likely overweight on the front axle!
Go to the drag strip sometime... there’s plenty of extremely high powered, short wheelbase, light weight cars.
Back in the day V8 Vegas were common, and I put a 351 Ford into a Mazda RX7.
That Pinto sounds pretty awesome!
