So , if I remember well enough that will be about 22 hp. Not much of an upgrade from a Kohler or Onan .

Hehe. I’d think about 100 hp ya maybe 80 hp Dave. Have ya look it up.

They forgot to mention that ball joints in Vaga suspension will need to be replaced.

After 30,000 miles they needed a full rad cap service .

If you get rear-ended in this thing, you'll die instantly in a fireball!

And if they'd have gone with the Monza they'd have got 15 more horsepower!

Maybe it’s one of these Cosworth engines. Racey.

That was the Pinto , right era wrong manufacturer. This was the era of NA. makers trying to build an encono cars . As with everthing new , there will be a lot of tiral by error . But it did give us a lot of light weight cars to put small blocks and 9" ford rears in . Just for fun .
I had a Buick Skyhawk (Monza cousin ) with the v6 4speed . Fun car to drive , and with a little tuning it went preety good for an eccono car.

That engine was a head of its time in NA. European engineers built that for Indy lights race cars.

50 years from now a group on cyberspace will be talking about their experience with electric vehicles. They will reminisce about the system installed in their first car to make it sound like an indy engine. I cant imagine going to an dirt track with only EV's where only sound is the announcer blaring out the positions and stats.

Yep, what fun will tractor or truck pull be, no smoke or earplugs.

Hehe. ’s car, a Ford Escape is a 2.0 eco boost engine and makes 240 hp. But I’d say has to be up there in rpm’s to do it. And by that point the torque would suffer. Car rated towing capacity is 3500 lbs.
