My little bro swaped in a mildly built 2.3T (about 280 at the ground) @ a little over a bar. into a 93 ranger with a T5 and 3:73's, and about 3" off the ground....... Fun little DD city beater kinda scary in the rain though if you dont keep your boot out of it.

the engine in that brown pinto is from an 83 or 84 thunderbird turbo coupe. my first car was a 77 pinto station wagon inherited from my grandpa. the intake manifold is modified a little to exit at that odd angle.

They were like to play movies in the 70-80s I think.

And a non-intercooled version was used in the Merkur XR4Ti. Those 2.3T motors were based off the 2.3 Pinto motor, they are a bolt-in swap. Great HP-per-dollar for those but they are all-iron (aluminum heads are $$$) and heavy. They have been used N/A extensively in sprint cars so a lot of parts are relatively cheap, though the good turbo stuff is all small-timer cottage industry. Pintos are rack & pinion too, they can be made to corner decent.

I've wanted a Pinto for a while now.

I like the Pinto. There is something about two-door wagons...

The pinto was definitely one of my more favorite obscure cars there that time.

The 69 camaro hood scoops hinting at whats under the hood?
Another buddy did a 302 pinto in the 80's ,,,that thing flew!

I went back and checked to see if I had an engine picture, and I did! Mystery sovled.

I need the Snap-On Man to stop by my house with his candy store on wheels!

There's one of those van's just sitting by my house (not the snap on truck, but a plain 'ol van). It has a look that kind of grows on you.

There was a neighbor that drove me to school a many times in the same brown wagon,his sister was shotgun and I in that back seat I was always looking behind us to see if we were about to die!

That was a real and present danger if you were in a regular Pinto. I think the wagons had more crumple zone at the rear. Not sure how much that extra tin would have helped though.
