fox body springs will not work, they have struts , got a set ,(well one of them) have to find the last one, I think you may have to cut a coil off to shorten it, after 73 they got a tad bit longer,

74/80 front springs will work after CUTTING some coils off as they are longer than 71/73 springs. As you cut them, they will get stiffer and may make your wagon ride like one of my race cars. Only one way to tell. If your springs are sagging and too low you can buy spacers to put under the springs. They work good and can be bought at front end shops cheap. If your wagon is factory air, it came with the biggest springs Ford had in 73.
Its better to be a has-been, than a never was.

It was factory air :D

So are my springs good enough?

Oh, and that's my personal Matco toolbox with the drawers you see there! :D

they just might , but when you stuff the heaver 2.3 it might end up lower, but you can like dick said put some spacers, or change them, once you have everything done break out the ruler and see, as dick also said when you cut the longer springs down they do get stiffer, new ones do not cost much, you could ask pintosopler where a good spring shop is located, since he uses his as a road racer, they can use yours to find the spring rate and make new ones to the new height you need, if you need too, the ones I got are out of a 74 up, but have to find the other one for the tag I put on it to see what year and type of pinto I took them out of, a 77 striped pinto with no air, 4 speed with the alum bumpers would be close , but a 76 wagon loaded with everything with a V-6 would be too stiff, and may not even compress with the weight of your wagon , save that for last,

I think I'll wait until the last on this. I can always do it later... See how the ride feels and all that stuff :)

looking at you block it looks like you have a core plug that is one of those quick repair ones ( with the nut on top) you should change all of them (and the one behind the head and block, ) Its a pain later to change when the engine is in the car , you should have the parts I sent today , guess when you put the engine in the car and start hooking every thing up you will have some one looking over you shoulder , I often do but its over my head ,  later Blaine

There was a heater plug in it since the engine came from Salmon. We doing all the plugs and everything :) I want to do most of this on my own putting it back together, but I may do the 302 from the Maverick because it's a simple engine.

The car got it's first coat and now is being painted a final coat :D Pretty cool process.

Great, could not tell by the photo that it was a block heater, do not know how cold it gets up there if you want to keep it,  my 76 has one and I left it in when I rebuilt it, never had to use it down here , never seen the 20s at night , but now it always in my heated mancave all the time, when you start putting the engine back together clean everything to the max, and find a very clean place to assemble it, kitchen always works when the wife is out of town,  as most of us pinto guys can put there hands up on how many carburetors have been rebuilt on the kitchen table,  ::)  have fun but don't get caught

After I gracefully asked the 1st wife to vacate the Duplex we shared and take all the gifts from the wedding, I put things in proper order, (1st)Yamaha 125 Flat track racer into the dining area. Since I had no furniture, (Mattress on bedroom floor ) I ate my daily Steaks on the Oven door sitting on a 5 gallon bucket, or in the Summer on the Tailgate of my 55 Chevy wagon. Rode the Honda SL 350 K1 to work at Kmart year round, Tinkered with the Suzuki TC90 in the Laundry shed on the carport. Life was good at $5/hour, and $185 /mo rent. I'll stop now... No Hijack here... ;D

I caught him in bed with my best friend, so I nailed him. It was the seventies and divorce was a lot different than how. He ended up marrying her and then he cheated on her, surprise surprise LOL She tried to friend me on facebook, of course I just laughed and didn't...
Which is why I dissolved my FB presence, My Skeletons still had meat on the Bones ;D

Well Pinto_one, your oil pump is in and it's almost done. Putting headers on it also :) The car should be wagon should be finished on Wednesday and coming to the shop :D

Can't wait to put it in.

Checking the numbers, this came out of a 1986 Thunderbird, and it is a turbo block. I can put a turbo later if I can, don't think I need to though :)

I'm putting the ranger exhaust manifold, almost a header LOL, on the Pinto. Just a little mod for them to fit. These are those. I can't wait to get the car back!

Looking good, but all the hoses on it has got to go, (won't fit the pinto) and change the water pump now that it is looking at you , cheep insurance,  you will be very happy when it's done, last even though you have the turbo block you have the wrong Pistons , the ones you have are cast 9 to 1 compression , the turbo is 8 to 1 forged units , which you can change out easy if you later want to, good luck on your mission and this message will self destruct with a good wack on your computer screen with a hammer 😺

LOL

Yeah, it doesn't have the right pistons. I ordered the water pump on Saturday but late, so they will bring it by on Monday :) I'm pretty excited. I'm hoping the paint shop gets the wagon done soon, who knows :( I paid like 1/3 of the price so I have to wait. Hoses will go, I'm doing some of the work and the guys are helping at the shop. I can't wait to see it in the car and hook up the AC :D That will be the most awesome this hot summer!
