Pinto are a great looking drag car, all the race wining history that made them with a born purpose. I had a 81 pinto with a low compression 351w. The engine had 69' heads ( 58cc ), comp cam 292 hydraulic flat tappet, edelbrock torquer 2 intake, 750vac sec carb, 8" rear end - yes i said it right, 8" rear end w/4:11 ratio. The pinto ran 11:80"s using a c4 tramsmossion with 10" mustang 2 torque converter and bellhousing
