hey peoples, i have been through the archives and noticed the general trend of 1600 bashing when it comes too the pinto. This is my car (see link)
I don't want an auto so i'm hitting up dellow automotive for a w55 supra gearbox like t3man suggested in his post on the 5 speed gearbox thread in the hopes this is will be a keeper. But my question, all knowing ones, is what is wrong with the 1600, i know the pinto is bigger and you can extract big horses from it but im looking for a well rounded setup, in a word drivability. Will my gearing aspirations fit in with my 1600? What kind of power can i extract with a rebuilt 1600? Most impotantly will it be cost effective? i dont want to spend money on a engine swap if i can turn my 1600 into a true contender.http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/...&seot=0&tsrc=a Last edited by eskyvator; 29-05-2009 at 09:06 AM. |
