Been offerd a 2.0 duratec 67k ecu and keys for £650 is that good ?
What's the process for upgrade from pinto I'm not after a race machine just
Fast enough and reliable. What the best way to sort the fuel side out thanks in advance
For any help.

Duratec from Pinto is straightforward having the exhaust on the same side, you can rework the header to fit.

You can use the type 9 but will need a bell housing which are not cheap.

Lowered sump which are not cheap.

But you can go with carbs, bike carbs or fuel injection either has been done.

I paid £275 for mine with 22k miles on it.

That's not cheap, you can get a whole car for far less with everything you need and sell on the parts to get the motor for nothing!

Lots of info on my swap here - http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=192871

Realistically a cheap ugrade will be £1k plus

I paid £120 for an engine with 80k on it.
