A cracked 2.3 is what the '75 Frog originally came with, but I got a '71-'73 German 2.0 for $175 [and it's tranny, and a drive shaft outta a derby car.] I felt really good about a swap..untill I started looking at the engines side-by-side..
Imma have to some how have to either move the mounts on the frame backwards around 6 1/2"...or make some new mounts so it'll mate correctly with the German 2.0. Does anyone have any experience with these issues?
*Have
not taken the 2.3 out of the Pinto yet*
Also: Do they both use the same type of auto transmission? (The 2.0 &2.3) The bolt pattern looks similar.
