Title: IT's ALIVE-----again
Post by: turbo toy on May 11, 2006, 07:37:21 AM
The Pinto has been down for a couple of months for mods.I ported the head and installed big stainless valves,double springs and Ranger roller.I also added ported,gutted and knife edged upper and lower intakes from 40bob and ported the E6.Added adjustable fuel pressure regulator and adjustable cam gear,put in a complete set of 2 5/8 sport comp gauges and monster tach with shift light.While I was at it I redid the interior including new carpet and dash pad cap and topped it off with a new set of 28 X 11.5 MT ET streets.The hood is getting a new hand hammered aluminum scoop that I hope to have on by Friday.I have put about 200 miles on it since I got it back on the road.The car feels considerably stronger than before and it's getting 22.9 MPG,and thats with a 4.62 gear.Got my daily driver back-----WOOOOO HOOOOO! :showback:
