@[email protected] when I was a kid, there was a guy in my home town who'd dropped a V8 into a Pinto. It was an infamous sleeper that nobody ever wanted to race against twice. Tiny car, huge engine. Unsafe at any speed, but especially at extreme speeds. I know this wasn't the assignment, but I can't see "Pinto" without thinking of that ugly little rocket bean.
