I'll tell you what...
The Pinto motor was GREAT!
One of my buds ran a mid-engine Pinto in his sand rail. It had (real live) Hilborn fuel injectors and ran on 100% alky. Kind of a bish to get started - but put out 300-400 HP on a dyno (can't remember the exact figure). And, yes, it WAS "Unkillable" and fast!
LoL! Gas mileage sucked in this monster - went through a 55-gallon drum of alcohol in 2 days at the dunes...
Pintos are popular motors in sand rails! The only reason more ppl don't run them is because they weigh 30 pounds more than a VW and, of course, you need a radiator.
