- Give 'yer balls a tug. Fight me.
Have an opportunity to horse trade for a running 2.3 Pinto (ok, maybe it's a Lima, I have to double check, or one of ya'll will know) engine out of an old compressor/generator. I remember it's a 2.3 Ford four banger. I'll double check the casting number on the block.
Point is, does anyone know off hand if the bolt pattern on the industrial/commercial engines is the same as the RBV bellhousing bolt pattern? This is an OLD four banger - vacuum advance distributor, and looks like some sort of computer controlled carb.
Have an opportunity for this thing on the very cheap/trade. Figured it may be a good opportunity to pick up a standalone wired 2.3 in a skid to screw with when I get the urge.
