Hot Rods Finally Got My Roadster Running With 4cyl Power

Hello everyone. I havn't posted much on here lately cause I have been so busy, but I thought I would show a small update on my project. The old progress can be seen here - http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=250573.
I bought a 2.3 Pinto engine and transmission and after about two months of messing with it on and off it finally ran. I ended up building an intake manifold and a header. It has a Rochester 2 barrel on it and it sounds healthy. I also got 17 Excelsior tires for the front, they look great. Here are a few pictures and a video of it running.

Very cool, I'm gathering parts to do the same engine set-up in my Sport Coupe.

Nothing wrong with a 2 litre + Pinto. It'll be a nice car to drive - 2bbl Rochester conversion is interesting too.

 

Check out this guys roadster with the Pinto engine...

I think i am going to do a 2.5 swap into mine.

 

Cool. Looks like some good progress.

 

Im going with the Mercruiser. Ive been lurking in the Boat junkyards here trying to find a good deal on one. Just lucky to live in Louisiana where s**** boats are fairly plentiful..

 

Here's mine, it's a 1972 2.0 Pinto

 

Is it a hot rod or gas saver lol
