I remember seeing in Hot Rod magazine a guy who crammed a built 460 Ford into a pinto. Late 70’s, early 80’s. The powertrain probably weighed more than the rest of the car combined.
That car had “zero to emergency room in three seconds” written all over it.

LOL!
A buddy of mine put a worked 302 into a pinto. He welded the hood and fenders into one piece. Hinged it at the front so that the nose could be swung forward to access the entire engine. For a week or two he ran this thing with the pinto rear still in there...you know...till it blew. Can’t imagine how quick these things must have been.
