and installing it it will fit straight onto the mounts you have so all good only thing youll need to change will be possibly power steering rack as most pintos had non power steering but you can find a pinto with power steering iv opted to not have it im going to try out a quick rack instead
Ok seems straightforward, can I just lob the pinto in or what ECU/ignition trouble can I expect? Is there a tut anywhere? Also what mpg can i expect with that setup?
