Good thinking. I was planning on doing a cheap header, exhaust, 4.10s out back in that little 7.5, and some kind of carb setup. 2.3L parts are sooooo cheap. It's crazy.

Great project.Its obvious your really into this and enjoying it.Good Luck with the motor decision. P.S. a small 4 wheel cart might help with your tool locations LOL!!
Bo-port is a really good resource if you want to discuss cams. A good cam can really help wake the motor up and is an easy swap on most cases.
I'll probably just run a Ranger roller for now. It would be funny though to have some ridiculous cam in there while rolling into a local car show.
Haha. No shit. My cart isn't at my house. Sucks.
I don't think I have ever even heard of one of those, let alone seen one in person. Seems like a pretty cool project though.
RR is ok, but really mild IMO (makes good torque though). For not much more money there are some better slider and roller options. Not saying it's going to be a race car but you can probably get another 20-30hp out of some of the other cams from what I've seen. Can also usually find used adjustable cam gears cheap and either ditch or remove most of the timing cover. Looks much better IMO and the gear will help, particularly with the RR.
man, still in great shape!
Wow! That car is tooooo cool! Nice :beer:
Terminator swap.
Cool project!!

I`ve got a fresh 2.3T 5-sp from a `86 XR7. Interested? Only about 1.5 hrs from Lincoln.
Man that PINTO would be a crazy tire blazer with that setup.:burnout::burnout:
How much you looking to get out of it? Harness?

Complete car. Was a driver, but has been sitting about 4 years. Mice got the interior.

Glidden kicked serious pro-stock ass with his Pinto. My second car was a '72 Pinto with a 289 swapped in, so I have a bit of a soft spot for them. I can't remember the last time I saw a Pinto/Bobcat on the road though. Good luck with the new project!
Love that car! 86 is a good year for the motor. Should have the better harness, bigger injectors, vane meter, etc.
I'm gonna vote for a 4bt Cummins........:burnout:
