Pinto Conversion

Postby Addy » Tue Nov 14, 2006 8:27 pm

Hi all,
Saw a viva on ebay about a month ago that had a pinto engine, and on looking into it further this engine seems perfect for what i want out of my viva bit of power and a 5th gear! So as i've just swapped from ohv to ohc i thought i would plan a pinto conversion for the spring.

I know so far i'l need an engine gearbox and hybrid viva/ford prop but i dont know the details of the stuff i need and if there's any thing more.

I think iam goin to have to fabricate some engine mount's or could i stel some of a pinto subframe?

Does anyone have any tips for this conversion as it seems to have been done on a few cars?

Thanks, Adam
