back in the 70's, ford printed a book named how to build a 351c pro stock pinto. anybody know of anyone selling a reprint or a copy of this? thanks,bob.
I have the 40 page book but want to retain my copy. The publisher CAR Corp. of Livonia, MI does not seem to exist anymore. I tried several on line book stores and eBay with no luck. Based on the above and lack of responses here, nobody seems to have one for sale. Providing you are not doing this for a commercial enterprise, I feel somewhat comfortable scanning mine (just trying to avoid copy right issues). If a scan will satisfy your needs, pm me your email address and I will send a pdf file. Most of the book deals with the 351C engine and only a few pages are Pinto specific.
I used to have one but it disappeared some time ago, should be some floating around at the swap meets though..
Would love a copy !
Sending a PM now...
got it today!!! thank you very much!!!

I'd like in on that action too, if you've still got the scan and don't mind sending it. entropy156@yahoo.com
