There was a guy in Hot rod cranking out 10's with a 2.3 Turbo powered Pinto

If you can figure out the plumbing etc, you can fit a much larger Turbo and intercooler on there. That would be real cool. From what I remember from the article, the basic shortblock should be the same for all the turbo motors, forged pistons and crank, stiffer block cast in Brazil. The funny thing about that, having a imported block qualifed him for the import drags, he mopped up many Honda's with that Pinto

At the least I would want to upgrade to 205 horse specs before stuffing it in. The standard GT turbo motor was 150 horses.
