Ches's Pinto Project
As most of you know I own a Ford Pinto Wagon.
I have found a 5.0 to put in it!!!
So this is the start of a big project for me, but the cool thing is I'm going to be working on it with dad.
1st step is next Sunday we go to pull the engine from the doner truck.
Fac's 72 pinto wagon
91 5.0 ECM and harnass
P.S. I know this is not a Ford truck but i still want to share it with you!

So just a thought This 5.0 is out of a truck , I will have to change some things buy more parts and all to make it work in the pinto.
But I don't have to change any thing about it to put it in the truck it even comes with a OD tranny.
So how about a EFI 5.0 76 ford?

Mustang II = a Pinto under the skin.

Dad wants to put the 5.0 in the pinto so thats where it is going.
I found a mustang intake and ECM to day! Mike is pulling the 5.0 for is 76 F150 and is going to go with a crab, but he never said how much?
I wish the guy with the truck 5.0 that I'm buying would come in my work So I could make the plains to pull it.(I don't have his #)

I found out the mustang Ecm will not work because the mustang is a 5.0 H.O.and has a different firing order than 5.0 In less I change the cam in the 5.0
<table style="table-layout: fixed;" border="0" width="100%"><tbody><tr><td colspan="2" class="smalltext" width="100%">
</td></tr></tbody></table>
So i plain to use the truck ecm with the truck block, and put the mustang intake on it with the bigger T body and injectors

The pinto swap is on hold I am now doing the swap to my 76 ford truck as it will cost less because I have most of the parts. plus then my truck will get better gas mileage
