Pinto is a complete shitter of an engine only good thing bout it is a 205 block same as cosworth, other than that its an 8v piece of S**t!tonyppe wrote:if your going to spend the money like that, you might aswell do up the pinto or the xflow. family friend now has 11.6 something in his mk1 escort with a uk pinto.
Not so! 205 n/a block was the Sierra 2.0iS and Granada 2.0i and is actually different to the 205 Cosworth block. All the same sort of Pinto wrongness at the end of the day tho.beem wrote:Pinto is a complete shitter of an engine only good thing bout it is a 205 block same as cosworth, other than that its an 8v piece of S**t!tonyppe wrote:if your going to spend the money like that, you might aswell do up the pinto or the xflow. family friend now has 11.6 something in his mk1 escort with a uk pinto.

Got some pics in the loft of it somewhere.HotboxDeluxe wrote:i saw an m50 2.5 powered capri (unfinished, natch) on ebay a while back...spiritual swap? and this reminded me of a little picture i saw years ago (about 18) in "streetmachine" magazine (remember that?) of a mk4 cortina with BMW badges, quad lights, kidney grilles and so on...
