Title: My 1980 Ford Pinto
Post by: brians89stang on March 31, 2010, 10:22:06 PM
1980 Ford Pinto
2.3 currently N/A ride with a roundy rounder cam.
Plan is getting a 100shot. Then when this motor fails drop in a 2.3 Turbo with nitrous. Should be fun with it only being 2385 factory weight.

Just to update this thread with some more progress. I put a T-5 transmission in the care over the weekend. It made it a joy to drive now. I am putting a 100 shot on the car in the next few weeks. So my next update to this thread will be with some track times.
