Title: Wich 2.3 do I have? Has anyone used these?
Post by: tinkerman73 on March 25, 2011, 04:59:17 PM
I went to this site.... http://www.flatlanderracing.com/hpkits-ford.html  Looks like some pretty cool stuff. I have the 1977 Pinto Wagon with the 2.3 I see two high performance kits available for the 74-78 Pinto. Wich one do I have? How can I find out? I like the horspower they are saying I can get out of the motor for that price. I might would really consider this instead of doing a turbo as I would want to rebuild that too before putting in the car. So I think I could get more HP here out of a stock block then out of a stock turbo. The the car would retain a higher resale value and be stock looking at shows. But would really surprise people on take off! Has anyone used thier products? Would this be a reasonable price for what products they include in the rebuild kit? Thanks.

Hmmm-nice link, but I only saw one listing for the '74-'79 2.3, KIT #1038-HP.

Good luck!
