I was looking in the guide and found a 1978 pinto wagon with the 2.8 V6 2bbl. it is rated at 120hp, factory weight of 2645# and is on a 22.04 weight break (V-stock). Has anyone ever ran one of these? I think it was rated about 6 hp more than the 2300, but has .5 less compression, and smaller valves and cam. Does this engine have any potential? Don Jackson
Okay, you want a 77, 78...10 less hp with less compression. Not enough to worry about ,with 220 less pounds less weight though.
You don't need a Pinto wagon though..In fact, you don't even need a Pinto.
Mustang II is the way to go. If all else fails, go with a 302.
*Actually, you can use a Fox body 79 too..Still with 2150 1.08 carb
