Hey Matt - have we got you thinking?

Maybe.....

Here is a thread on TurboSport about  longer rods with shorter pistons.

You will note what he says in relation to port size and rod ratio, and also note that a Pinto has an oversized inlet port to begin with.  You will also note that the 5.7" rod he refers to is being used with alloy heads to get big power with a specially desgined port and cam to suit the longer rod, neither of which is relavant to your conversion.  He would also appear to be just reading what other people are writing, and not doing his own developement work.
 
What works with one engine may not work on another.  It's about getting the right COMBINATION of parts to make it work correctly as I stated previously.  Any one thing out of your combination thats not right will cost you power.

Hey Mate,
 
3.820" bore size is 97mm so don't think it would fit would it?  I think the max is around 93mm for a pinto isn't it?
 
Look good though.
 
Woz, Let me see if I get this right.  The longer rod length of 5.7 would really only be suited to a screaming race engine with a port job to match the rod length and cam to match?
