Weber/Pinto query
I have what was acquired with a pert built project a Pinto 1600. Allegedly in good condition. I don't want to do anything to it until the car is
on the road, but I'd like to know if its HC/LC etc but I can't identify what Ford its from. There is a large 165 cast on the block, the
carb is a twin venturi Weber with automatic choke on one barrel only, the exhaust manifold goes into two outlet bores, the date code is HM, Oct 87
according to Burtons. How can I identify it?

Acording to the Sierra Haynes manual
Engine codes LCS and LCT used the Ford VV engine codes LSD and LSE used the Weber 2V 28/30 DFTH
With the 1600 engine putting out 55Kw and the 2.0L putting out 85Kw you would have to do some very serious tuning to the 1.6 to get close to a
standard 2.0L
However the standard 2.0L cam works like a fast road cam in a 1.6
