Here we showcase the Builds & Builders. Everyone who can does put a V8 into a Pinto. I chose a different path, carbureted downdraught 2.3 power with an MSD ignition. The C3 was rebuilt with a masterkit, new converter and an SK shift kit. While it made it more drivable the endgame was always going to be a T-5 swap. If you break the car down by year we have the following:

1977 - Pinto Cruising Wagon
1979 - 2.3 Carbureted Turbo from a mercury Capri RS (Fox Body)
1983 - Transmission - T5 - 1983 Ford Mustang GT Turbo (Fox Body)
1974 - Clutch Pedal and Clutch Cable from a Mustang II
2004 - T5 Short shifter from a Mustang GT
