Pinto Progess Thread

[Kevin Doe]

Since there are so many people who havn't seen this car at all, I'll just start from the begininning. It started like this. Its a 1980 Pinto with 25k original miles. We wanted to start with a virgin. Nothing like taking a virgin and really reaming on her. The goal of the car is to basically make a street legal drag car.

Ford 9" rear end. Its a Currie unit. Nodular iron 3rd member. 1/4" wall axle tubes. Its got brackets welded on it for a 4 link setup, anti-roll bar, wheelie bars, shock mounts, and locator bar mount.

Engine setup. Its a Ford "2.3" liter. Some might be familiar with Fords tall deck blocks. Thats what we have. Its a 2.7 liter in its current state, o-ringed, scat crank, crower billet rods, weisco pistons, all custom built to our specs. The head is an Essengler ARCA head, with their .620 lift turbo cam. Solid lifters, big valves, etc.

We decided to go with an external wet sump oiling system. The header is an equal length and equal degree of bending withing 0.25" and 15 degrees on every runner. The intake is a unit designed to be 2.5 times the engine displacement.

BADASS

Paint it flat black when your done;)

[bobtsgt]

jeez Kev. You and your dad have been busy. Both projects are turning out to be badass.

[331TwistedWedge]

you guys are really good! ... is there anything you cant do? ...

nice job :bigthumb

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

Man there's not much "Ford" left on that 2.3! That poor little Pinto didn't know what hit it. I'd love to have an engine like that in a Mustang coupe.

[mustangboy]

Just out of curiosity what is your target hp/weight goal. BTW keep up the good work that is going to be a really cool car when it is done.:bigthumb

[Kevin Doe]

We originally set for a 2500 lb weighty target, but from the way the cage spiraled out of control, to almost a tube frame back halfed car, we think it might be a bit over that, maybe 2700.

The hp we're expecting to hit is 800 hp to the wheels. The turbo pictured is a T70, which we're using as our "break-in" turbo, then we'll be stepping up to a larger turbo once we get the car mostly dialed in. I think the first year will be mostly a learning curve as far as getting the 4 link dialed in and the car launching straight. Then we can worry about putting more power down.

[plated]

oh no u didn't :eek: i flippen love it u guy's do really nice work:bigthumb

[cstreu1026]

Wow that is a cool project. I thought Huber performance wheel standing 4 banger stang was cool but this is way over board. From what I read those tall deck blocks are getting hard to find and expensive to buy. I did read that there is the possibility of Indy Cylinder Head casting some blocks to replace them.

[BUHBYY]

Remember when I said they will like the pinto ??? I won't say I told ya so :lol: UMTR next year ???

[bascom123]

Awesome, that is so going to squeal like a stuck pig.

[Black Hole]

Awesome guy....you are one-fabbin-mofo! :bigthumb :bigthumb

[R825OH]

No chit you build some kickass stuff!!

[wild87stang]

That is awsome man i cant wait to see both cars done they are both gonna be sick!:drool::drool:

[Mr.Moontang]

Very nice work indeed!!!

[ADaughen]

I'm envious. I'm still sitting here with my Pinto in parts. :(

Car looks beautiful.

[Stangman]

Oh... Oh... OH MY GOD!! that is completely BADASS!!!!!:eek::eek::jawdrop::jawdrop::pump:

**Resisting sudden urge to back-half and Turbo my '77 Mustang II**

So what exactly is a Tall deck 2.3?? and what did they come in??

[Kevin Doe]

They didn't come in anything. There was a racing league that Ford wanted to race in, but they required a "production" engine. So Ford thought of the bright idea to cast a "production run" of ~200 blocks. There are not many of them left around, expecially untouched like our was. They are based off the 2.3 lima block, but the deck height was increased ~1/2" to allow for a longer stroke, and the webbing was strengthened to handle much increased power. The block is overall 75 lbs heavier than a normal 2.3 block.

[Stangman]

I still wanna touch it... :D

[92coupe]

That's one kick ass litle Bean!

[ricks_85_gt]

wawawawawawawawhoa turbo ttttsssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[firestang70]

That is going to be an impressive ride.

[5.0Greaser]

Thats one sick bean.

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

So what's the state of this thing? Is it going to be out this year? I wanna see it run :D

[ibstrokin]

+1, this thing looks Badass

[PKFIRE]

Pass those skills down to your children! This is Awesome Kevin!:bigthumb

[Kevin Doe]

Finally, progress has begun again.

The seat has been mounted, the steering shaft has been mounted, the shifter has been moved rearward to fit the seating position, pedals as mounted, the clutch linkage is complete, most of the interior pannels have been made, the firewall is nearly complete, the trans is mounted, the driveshaft safety loop is in.....

Some pics of what we've been working on as of late.

Its collected a bunch of shit over the years.

I'd like to one day too. We took a long hiatus working on it (probably about a year and a half), but we've got a bug up our asses again and are knocking shit out lately.

[ibstrokin]

What Kickass project, post some engine/turbo pics.

Kevin, thats a bad ass ride! If I ship my little 2.3T to you, can you hook mine up too?!?! HAHA

Looks great, keep the pics coming

[91rangerturbo]

Kevin anymore updates?

[Markcore]

Wow, looks awesome!!

[foxtrot]

What do you think this car will run,and hp numbers,Its a bad ass build....

[91rangerturbo]

With the proper tune and that turbo and chassis setup. This pinto should be a easy 9.xx 1/4 mile car.

[Pitbull1052]

AWESOME!!!!!!

[Kevin Doe]

I don't want to set any expectations for the car till we get it out there and start having some fun. We have an appointment on April 10th at E-Water to have the cage certified.

[Tigger]

Nice Pinto there, you do nice work. I have four Pinto's currently however one is a parts car. I hope to start my Turbo project later this year. I will be following your thread:D

[PKFIRE]

Good work Kevin, are you going to have this done before the reunion?

[Kevin Doe]

Ford 2300 based engine. Ford limited "production" tall deck block. Stroked to ~2.7 liters. Custom rotating assembly. Esslinger aluminum ARCA head. O-ring'd setup. Solid lifters, big turbo cam.

We ended up going with a external pump wet sump setup. The intake manifold volume is slightly larger than engine displacement. Each runner has a bell-mouth sticking into the plenum. Current turbo is a Super T-70. Exhaust turbo header is an equal length, equal degree of bend setup, out of stainless pipe.

3" turbo to AWIC piping, 3" transition to 4" out of AWIC, into 4" throttle with mechanical linkage.

Intake manifold pic from before it was finished.
http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l55/Kevin_Doe/Pinto/pinto8.jpg

No air filter, just a screen up front. Removed passenger side turn signal and replace it with a screen setup. Then ducted it straight to the turbo inlet.
http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l55/Kevin_Doe/Pinto/Pinto11-21-20104.jpg

http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l55/Kevin_Doe/Pinto/Pinto11-21-20103.jpg

For the AWIC setup we have a ~5-6 gallon insulated ice water tank. Off the pump we put a two way valve to pump it out to fill it back up with ice. There is a 6" fill hole for the tank for easy ice fill. Inside the tank there is a screen to keep large pieces of ice from getting chomped up in the pump.

Current status: Fluids have been filled, pressurized and leak checked. The car is waiting on me to finish up getting the tune ready, and then fire it. Then off to the dyno for some tuning.

[Crucial]

wow looks wonderful


but where is the passenger seat ? hehe

[Ranger50]

Pretty for a Pinto.

Whose gauges and size? Those are sharp.

[Kevin Doe]

Speedhut Revolution series. Pretty much unheard of, but their product offerings are awesome.

[Stangman]

Wow Kevin... looks amazing. The quality of the work put into this car is unbelieveable... it's almost a show car as well as a race car!

[Ranger50]

Speedhut Revolution series. Pretty much unheard of, but their product offerings are awesome.

Oh my...... Makes the rest look like kid toys.....

[BLOWN86CAPRI]

cool ass build,love the 2.3 builds

[ibstrokin]

Thanks for the update, I like seeing this cars progress. That thing should haul ass.

[GT350R]

LOVE it!!!!

I dont post much, but I had to post up on this one!

[atbracn]

What's the plans for it? Are going to run any umtr races? Cool build.

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

This car is at the very top of the "wish it was done" list, well maybe it's 2nd from the top after MY car ;)

It could have any other engine in the world and it wouldn't be half as cool as having a 2300 in it. I hope this beast makes it out to a cruise in someday.

[Blowpastyou]

Badass for sure!

[NXcoupe]

That is a sweet setup!

[silverstang]

I think this is the sweetest Pinto build I have ever seen!

[8banger]

Kevin,you've got some serious talent!That is just plain bad azz!I read through the posts and noticed that you think it will weigh in at 2700?The reason I pondered this is my Vega is all steel all glass except the windshied(Which cracked due to an extreme verticle wheel stand without the wheelie bars) and it only weighs 2450 without me.Its a control arm mustang II type setup with rack.With a SBC .It also runs 9.80 has been 60's on good air and a sprag converter(now spragless).I really think your pinto gonna be a low 9.0 or better car.My sbc is only making 588 @ the crank.Good luck with it and deff cant wait to see it on a pass!:bigthumb

[Kevin Doe]

Thanks guys!

And it RUNS!!!!!!!!!!

First stable idle...

Damn that is badass......Good luck keeping the front end down.....lol

[2Kblacksleeper]

Very nice.

[zlou363lx]

wow. that thing sounds sick.

[redfirepearlgt]

That is one original setup. So would it be considered a "Turbohatch"? LOL! When I heard it idling I thought it was a V8 setup. That is truly the baddest 4 banger I have ever heard. You have truly got a talent there that could potentially make you a lotttttt aaaaa money if you were to martket it. I covet your abilities.

[mustangboy]

Sounds great Kevin!! Why don't you drop that thing off for some coating, I swear I wouldn't drive it.

[R825OH]

Sounds Sick!!

[SN95N/A]

Wow I like this,Great Build!

[nsaniti]

lookin good kdoe.

[8banger]

Sounds great ,can't wait to see it run down the strip.:bigthumb

[AZZKIKR]

Awsome build,great talent. Sounds healthy and best of luck!

[Maximus]

Its still a PINTO!!:lol:



JK. BAd ass ride you built!!:bigthumb

[Buckeye]

badass car !
But fuck you for showing me Speedhut gauges now I need anouther $800 Gps speedo... Fucking genius! fuel gauge that works with any oem sending unit again genius! And they come in old school font with a cougar logo on them!

[Kevin Doe]

Thanks guys! Can't wait go get this thing out and about.

Hey hey, a few hour long tuning sessions in the driveway and we've made a lot of progress.

We had a few issue we've worked through. We had an oil leak (more like a mist explosion). The oil pressure hose on the output of our external oil pump wasn't fully tightened and misted us pretty good. Then we had some issues with the timing belt setup. It wasn't riding where we wanted it to so we had to do some shimming to get it right. Now we're having some charging issues, I suspect the alternator isn't functioning properly. It only charges to ~12.8V, then sometimes it stops charging all together. Probably get a new battery soon, as its really impeding the tuning progress.

Took another video while it was idling. This time you can hear it properly. It sounds absolutely ridiculous for a 4 cylinder. I love it!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8pp6DhvtPk4

[Maximus]

Holy Shit! That sounds BAD ASS!!:bigthumb

[redfirepearlgt]

Holy cow. It just keeps sounding nastier an nastier. Please post when you anticipate it going to the track. Gotta see this thing run. Man - you sure got talent! WOW! Looks awesome in the video as well. BEAUTIFUL!

[Buckeye]

i like it.. i wanna see it make a pass on the street LOL

[V8Mustang1967]

Holy Shit! That sounds BAD ASS!!:bigthumb

This is an understatement... Where are you hiding that V8 in there lol

[85_SS_302_Coupe]

OMG man that is the sickest sounding Lima i've ever heard! If you don't get this thing out to a cruise in, you HAVE to shoot me an address or something so i can come over your place and see this beast in person. I'm gonna have to post whore that video on the Merkur forum :D

What were the HP goals again?

[atbracn]

any plans for umtr this year? thing sounds good

[Kevin Doe]

any plans for umtr this year? thing sounds good

We've been wanting to do UMTR, not sure this year is gonna happen though, maybe a few races.

[atbracn]

We've been wanting to do UMTR, not sure this year is gonna happen though, maybe a few races.

hope to see you and the beast out.
