Actually I had one that a DPO had placed a 1.6Liter Pinto (Ford) 4cyl
engine. Ford only made it one year before they jumped up to a 2.0L as I
understand it (DPO passed it off as a Cortina, and there appear to be some
similarities). Fits OK, parts OK to come by, peppy little engine, I'd try
and rebuild what you got first and don't recommend it as I think the
modification would be more work that a rebuild.
