Well I know about the rotory swap and I know the rotories
make good power and have an excellent power/weight ratio
but thats about all I know about them.

I don't know how they work (in much detail anyway)
and I don't know how to hop 'em up.

I do know a some about the pinto motors. They can make
lots of power, they are VERY redily available and for
real cheap. They are very strong and reliable motors.
There are scads and scads of performance parts for them
and there are shops who deal exclusivly with them for
the sand drag and short oval crowd.

Finally they are built by Ford and I just can't resist
that connection since I own a Tiger as well.
