Re: Engine Swap
With the current technology available to be able to build a good reliable A or B engine with increased power, I think you would be going backwards to convert to a Pinto Engine.
On the first long distance tour I did in my 30 Tudor with a B engine, I liked to run in the back of the group.
I kept running up on some of the same cars in front of me on the hills, After the first few days, someone said that I must be running an A or B engine as I could pull the hills much better than they could. I found out I had been following several of the cars from the Sierra Club that all had Pintos.
You will be very disappointed with a Pinto.
It is important that you use a good engine builder for your A or B. They are out there. If you do not know, just ask the "Barn".
My experience and opinion, and I definitely know some of the Pinto guys will have a different opinion.
