Pinto into Indy: how??
Hello everybody.
Are the engine mounting holes pre-drilled in the indy chassis, or is it a case of craning one's Pinto into the bay and measuring between the
gearbox output flange and diff flange and drilling holes in the right place etc..???
Ta.
Ed.
P.S. If i have to drill the holes myself, presumably I want the engine as far back as it will go??

Sounds like it depends on when you bought your kit, ours is about 2 years old and I'm sure it had the holes pre- drilled

as was mine.
i picked my chassis up on 31st jan 2004 fwiw. the holes are just in the middle of the plates.
you have to drill your own gearbox mount holes though.
