“Put a Boss 302 or a 300 horse 289 in it and you had a street beast!”

You’re not a guy named Chris from Oakdale LI, are you” Back in about ‘75 a guy I went to school with did exactly that: Put a WORKED 302 into a Pinto. He left the original rear in until it blew(lasted about a month). He welded the nose together to form one unit that hinged at the front under the bumper. Did it all in his garage at home in a matter of weeks at the age of 19. I don’t know what became of him but if he didn’t get into custom car fabricating he damn well missed his calling
