Title: What other engines are compatable?
Post by: racerman12 on May 21, 2008, 02:13:12 PM
I am making a race car, unfortunately the engine is trashed on the car and none of the scrap yards carry engines older than 80. Are there any other engines that are compatible with this? I believe the car is a 78 pinto.

The Taurus 2.3 won't fit, it is an HSC pushrod engine like the tempo. Any other 2.3 OHC will work
