Title: Motor swap for 75 Pinto MPG Wagon?
Post by: AaronHendrix on December 13, 2006, 07:20:40 PM
We're thinking about swaping out the motor in my wifes car.  Nothing erally wrong with it, it's around 78K and needs a tune up, but in good condition.  I am looking for a more powerful alternative, but something that does not require a great deal of modification to install.  I had heard that the engine from an 88 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe was pretty easy to do, but I thought I would run it by the group.  Any ideas?
