Pinto?

the driver's side mount is the stock pinto and the passenger side is handmade.
the clearance for the driveshaft is enough but you have to cut the ear of the starter which is above the driveshaft.
The last picture is not trimmed is there something else that you want to see.
It runs great with 5,38/1 and 31" up to 5.500 rpm and it can easilly hold an OD

 

I trimmed that starter bolt too, but it's still close. You must have different pintos in Greece than we have. I had stock pinto mounts on mine at one time, but they looked nothing like what you have. Don't believe Pintos were ever had EFI here either. The intake manifold is quite a bit different from what I have as well. What year was your donor?

 

I think that the space between starter and driveshaft is about 3" but i'm not sure i have to measure. the donor was a 89 pinto. Here in Greece we call them sierra.

 

Pinto engine? WHY??? Are you some kinda masochist???!?!?!??

In its glory days, the Packard Company used the advertising slogan: "Ask any man who owns one!"

In this case, I must paraphrase slightly and say "owned".

To add insult to injury it was an auto, so I could probably have outran it on foot! Fuel economy was nothing short of atrocious for such a small engine (18MPG, no matter what I tried). It leaked 3 quarts of oil per day out onto the ground, and sent two more out the exhaust pipe. Two pistons cracked, timing belt blew and left me stranded on the side of I-96 (thank God it wasn't an interference head!), I could go on....
When the ambient air temperature fell below 35 degrees, you might as well forget about trying to get it started. Not even remotely worth the frustration that was sure to ensue. :evil:

The last straw came when I drove it to the store one day and on the way back it suddenly began to lose power and spew excessive amounts of white smoke. I limped it into my folks driveway and shut it off, and then it wouldn't restart. Opened the hood and began looking things over, took the radiator cap off and there was no coolant. Began pouring water into the radiator and it started to run back out the exhaust pipe!!! (no joke!).

About a week later some guy happened along and began to oooh and ahh about what a mint body it had and offered me $100 for it. You know what they say about a fool and his money...

In all fairness though...I also had a '91 Ranger with an updated version of the same engine (EFI, Hemispherical two-plugs-per cylinder head, distibutorless ignition system, etc), and despite having to straighten out some issues with the computer and various sensors when I first acquired it, it was an excellent little truck! Always started, never left me stranded, and delivered a constant 26MPG!

I would think that if one was ingenious enough to install this engine and all of its ancillaries, the end result would be a very user-friendly and trouble free unit. YMMV!
