The fire wall is welded up but I still have to smooth it out a little


These pictures are decent but I'll post a pic of it with a T3 and an IHI. WOW!



it looks cool with the fender off. I'll probably run it at the track once or twice without the front clip.

its a pinto what do you expect?



tealtiger: I laughed and said I needed to leave the front off anyway. I can't see over the hood of my 87 coupe when it launches. I can't imagine this thing taking off on spray.

That looks so good i wanna do a turbo 2.3 in my tubbed 77 fast back Mustang II.

I think the pinto looks great so far, cant wait to see some numbers.

Here is my other Mustang II a 78 with a 347 non tubbed. i am taking it out Friday its been 2 yrs since i beat on it well since i built my 89 2.3 lol

Should be fun it runs 11.3s

The suspense is killing me, you have to take some videos of that beast when you take it out for a beating.

Woodster: One thats too big for the car right now, WH1C. I'm glad you posted here...seems like I owe you money and can't remember to send it. I'll try to get it on the way.


If it won't spool, I'll spray it. If it still doesn't spool, I'll spray it harder.

78cobra: Isn't it fun to pick what vehicle you want to run on which day?
Nice II by the way.

The only reservation I have is that I maybe should have picked up an Hy where the compressor outlet points forward. I think this will be ok though since I have no fenderwell or much of anything else.

Any updates? You're doing to a Pinto exactly what I want to.

The only update I can say is all of the engine parts are now going on the mustang in the other thread. So just imagine that engine, shorter wheelbase, 800lbs lighter.
