    Some hot Pintos are about for sale.
    Sometimes it's cheaper to just replace it. I have had a few wins with $400 long engines from the wreakers.

    What you think about, you bring about.

    Would it be an option to give it a go rebuilding it yourself?
     
    There are loads of good books around to help guide you through the process, and it would keep costs down a bit.
     
    I have one of the gregory's manuals which is great, and also the haynes manual.
     
    Do you have a budget in mind? Are you going for just a freshen up, or are you after something with high performance?
