UHm yeah what Darryl said........
My pinto rocks I used a totalled svo mustang for parts but you could use the
turbocoupe harness, even seen alot of wrecked merkurs around ( Ihate to gut a merkur :(
I have a friend who had the carb setup on a jeep, he was happy with it, but was shocked...
Ok I just got a set of headers for my 76 mustang II
Im planning on running duals with either flowmasters or the smaller canister type of mufflers.
What do I need in way of crossmembers?
What size of pipe will fit comfy? I have 3" left over from my merkur, but not sure if it will fit...
The merkur xr4ti or the thunderbird turbocoupe both have a nice slider cam in them stock that should work well.
Ive run all or them including the factory svo cam and the ranger roller with a adjustable cam sprocket, but I think for everyday banging gears the merkur has the hottest cam profile...
MY pinto gets about 18mpg, but thats because of my t3/t4 and my heavy foot :) 340 gears in the 8"
MY XR4ti scores between 20-24 depending if i have all the sensors and stuff up to snuff, it was a 400.00 car so somethings always going wrong, but they are easy fix's so I dont bitch too often...
MY 76 that i just got is missing the power steering pump and brackets not sure if the rack is good or not.
Will a manual rack fit in its place?
I have a spare II pump from a 2.3 are they the same?
What 76 vintage ford brackets will inter change?
Can anybdy help me on this? Not sure...
I think...........uhm if i remember the 6cy c-4 and the 2.3 c-4 share the same spline shaft just dif bellhouse's. Im not sure if it will work in a v8 without changing the spline.
I remember something about that when I put a 6cy c-4 in my turbo-pinto, I changed switched the bells, IM not sure...
I have a 78 ghia that ex wife totalled awhile back on my other property, I havent looked at it in awhile but if they are still there your welcome to them, I'll pull them off if they are what you need.

Thanks!
Yeah the junk yard guy said freeebiie I figured he was a fan of the show, I gotta start watching his crusher pile :)
I did buy 2 complete merkur motors/trannys harness and computers from him awhile back, so maybe he was just making things even ....lol
Car Looks Great!
Luv the winter project, I have a 74 pinto I did with a 88 turbocoupe powerplant. I also have two merkur xr4tis. Im a great fan of the turbo 2.3

Tore into my new car today.
Found a 78 ghia at the local junk yard in the crusher pile, The guy was nice enough to give me anything off the car I wanted before it was crushed, so I nabbed the interior. (freeeebieee........)
Heres some pics...
I just scored another II, this one being a factory v8 76, Its kinda rought but its a good start.
Will the chin spoiler fit from a cobra II fit on a regular coupe has anybody done this?
