turbocoupe/pinto swap/suspension/rearend/etc ???
« on: June 16, 2005, 08:20:32 PM »
I have a 1980 pinto sport wagon and a 1988 turbocoupe donor car.  I am looking for suggestions/ideas/guidance on how to do this project right. What will be needed from the original 2.3 and 4 speed. What should I remove from the donor car before I junk it so I can make more garage space. What suspension parts can I get and where? Tubular control arms? Cheap new springs. What would it take to put the T-bird rear-end into the pinto. Wiring tips. What in-line fuel pump is availible. Can I keep the power brakes. Can I keep the heater. What radiator do I use? What Altenator?  ??? ???
