My car already had a 289, but it was about shot.
Found a good 5.0, so it's going in. Just in time for the Stampede.
Just have to swap the oil pan and a couple other things over.
The shorty headers won't fit so I'll take them off. The new engine
is on the the stand. I don't have alot of time in between rains so
I hope it's done in time. I also bought a new fiberglass hood from
Unlimited Products. I'll take alot of work too.

Cool, always liked the idea of a Pinto 302. :)
Ive always ( well since getting the pinto) have fantasized about a GT500 Pinto Wagon! ROFLMBO!! Well, with good gas mileage, but I dont think that will ever happen! LOL>
hows that hood from unlimited products ? there seems to be a lot of negative feedback on the web about them. I just wish I could find one, seems nobody makes one fo a 80 model.
Not the greatest, but it's all I could find with the cowl that I wanted.
I'll post a pic tomarrow.
Here's Pic's!

Can you post up some photos of the engine installed. I really like the hood, do they have a website?

Don't have any pics of the install.
I can tell you from experience that it's a tight fit.
Here's the link to the hood I bought.
