Not popular but...pinto engine?????
I have an old rusty, welded up "A" frame and a pinto engine that I want to put together. Does anyone have a close up picture showing where these mount on the frame and a drawing of the mounts that you would share?
It also has and auto transmission I hope to put in with it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Don |

Re: Not popular but...pinto engine?????
I considered it briefly when I was in my "driveability" mode - even to the point of negotiating a price with the junqueyard of $300 for the motor and tranny (don't know if it works - he said.) All abandoned along with the hydraulic brakes after I came to my senses (and the torque issue.)
But - more discussion here. You can ALWAYS count on FordBarn for discussion. See https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=78089 It also references over to HAMB (and back too I guess.) Joe K

Re: Not popular but...pinto engine?????
I have driven cars with the Pinto/C4 or Pinto/'39 transmission set ups. It's very nice if done properly! If I were to put a different motor in my A besides an A motor, I would definitely go the Pinto route.

Re: Not popular but...pinto engine?????
Which Pinto engine is it. The 200 c u or the 2.3 cu. I have put the 2.3 in a Model A frame with a C-4 behind and have some pictures but wont post them on this site- to much backlash. I still prefer the Model A engine over the Pinto, but I just could not help myself and had to try it. Contact by P M and I can send pix. ken

Re: Not popular but...pinto engine?????
Threads like this have been closed in the past, and I have no problem with that as it is way out of the purpose of this forum.
With that said 3 years ago member PetesPonies was putting in a pinto engine into an A. Might want to contact him. Also this may be of some help; https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showpo...0&postcount=26

Re: Not popular but...pinto engine?????
Not a Model A, but back in 1962 I took the Olds engine out of my 32 and put in a 4 cyl Pontiac Tempest engine. Had almost as much "get up and go" as the Olds.
Pinto was a popular conversion for the A as was the Chevy II. Paul in CT |

Re: Not popular but...pinto engine?????
Some Pinto cars require a Mitchel Overdrive, installed BACKWARDS, to get up our hills!!
Too bad the Pinto engines don't have 200.5 CUBIC INCHES!! Bill W.
