If its DOHC then its neither a pinto nor a x-flow. Just a DOHC surely?

DOHC is a direct development of the Pinto, but it is not a Pinto.

dohc engines were a replacement for pinto,in the opinion of most peeps its about as usefull as a chocolate teapot,use pinto (single o h c ) or x
flow

Yes, on a pinto the exhaust exits on the drivers side, right hand side in our country, sorry  and on a x/flow(cross flow) it exits on the passenger
side !,
Hope it helps
