it's for a 78 pinto, 2.3 carb. trying to get price rang on a 5 speed.

 

Used to be able to find tons of those at the salvage yards for $75. Mostly for the 2.0's though.

well it's for my dad. he's restoring a 78 pinto. and i guess he needs another trans. it's the same motor as mine for the most part. he's down off of county line road close to us19. i know you guys sometimes have some trannys laying around so i figured i'd ask.

 

I have a very nice 4 cyl t5 for $150

 

That would be a cool swap,.. Pinto's were all 4 spd cars. Worst case he might have to have the drive shaft shortened a bit. Be worth it in my opinion. Yeah,.. I guess they did have the 2.3 in the pinto in 78. They had the 2.8 v6 also. Nightmare motor. They had a plastic timing gear that was notorious for coming apart during a cold start in severe freezing weather.
