Pinto with "A" engine ???
 

Hi Guy's,


There was a "post" about a Pinto engine in a Model A....I seem to remember at a Swap meet year's ago there was this Believe it or not A Pinto with a A or B engine in it




I remember it was at the A or T swap meet here in So Cal. I'am sure one of the guy's here on Fordbard remember's it too.



I remember guy's at the meet talking about it...They pointed me to where it was parked...When I finally saw it,,,The first thing I remember thinking was "WHY" ???



Anyone remember that one of a kind "Pinto" ???

I remember seeing that in a magazine in the late 80's when I was a kid. Pretty sure it was a very modified B engine because he could.

We had a member in the Jewel City Chapter (Glendale,CA) that put an A engine into a Willys Jeep station wagon some years ago.

I saw just such a car at the antique nationals in Palmdale CA 10 or 15 years ago. it was owned by an old man and had a B engine with a 4 port Riley head on it.

If I remember right he turned about 82mph in the quarter mile, no memory of his ET

I saw that Pinto back in the '70's. It belonged to a man who lived in Sun Valley, CA.

He first ran the Pinto with a Winfield flathead, later with the 4-port in it. He took Ed Winfield for a ride on one of our Winfield Weekends. It also had an automatic trans in it.
