Title: Pinto 1.6 swap
Post by: farmerprice on February 06, 2009, 01:07:31 PM
I am new to Pintos and am not the typical forum member.  We have a Bobcat skid loader with a Pinto 1.6 engine in it and would like to repower it with another used 1.6 from out of a car.  we have found one in running condition and would like to swap the short block, using our old manifolds, carb, distributor, etc.  My question is:  are there differences in blocks/cranks for the 1.6 engines?  I appreciate your help.  I'm sure you folks have forgot more than I'll ever know about these engines!

Everything should swap out.   

I have changed several Cortinas, Capris, and Pinto 1.6 around without any problem.
