From a quick google chris.... hope this helps :thumbup: Again standard to GT conversion on the front is simple, GT's rode a couple of inches lower using 140lb rate springs with a 10" free length. source http://www.fordcortina.co.uk/tuning.htm

slam panel is different [unless he is using a custom radiator,] and V6 exhausts are getting very hard to find now, again, unless he is building a custom exhaust but as above with the crossmember l believe

l thought a pinto crossmember was the same as a V6 apart from the heavier springs and the bolt on mounts and maybe a heavier anti-roll bar ?? :headscratch:

Why are you not going back to EFI on the pinto joe ????

l say sleeper all the way, :thumbup:

nice work there :thumbup:

Dave started it................................ :lol:

o.k. dave, l admit it, l DID put a couple of quarters in the machines when the lady was coming by with the [free] cocktail tray...............

l booked a flight from Phoenix to Orlando via vegas and the flight was oversold from vegas, l was in no hurry to get to Orlando so l took the airlines 'compensation' deal and had a great day in Vegas :showoff: :showoff:

The same as they did with a/c ????? :thumbup: The Goldberg Brothers - The Inventors of the Automobile Air Conditioner. Here's a little factoid for automotive buffs or just to dazzle your friends.. The four Goldberg brothers, Lowell, Norman, Hiram, and Maxwell, invented and developed the first automobile air-conditioner.. On July 17, 1946, the temperature in Detroit was 97 degrees. The four brothers walked into old man Henry Ford's office and sweet-talked his secretary into telling him that four gentlemen were there with the most exciting innovation in the auto industry since the electric starter. Henry was curious and invited them into his office. They refused and instead asked that he come out to the parking lot to their car. They persuaded him to get into the car, which was about 130 degrees, turned on the air conditioner, and cooled the car off immediately. The old man got very excited and invited them back to the office, where he offered them $3 million for the patent. The brothers refused, saying they would settle for $2 million, but they wanted the recognition by having a label, 'The Goldberg Air-Conditioner,' on the dashboard of each car in which it was installed. Now old man Ford was more than just a little anti - Semitic, and there was no way he was going to put the Goldberg's name on two million Fords. They haggled back and forth for about two hours and finally agreed on $4 million and that just their first names would be shown. And so to this day, all Ford air conditioners show -- Lo, Norm, Hi, and Max -- on the controls

l would suspect the heater box gaskets, a common fault and easy enough to pin point, a pain to source and fit though
