bec or pinto??
am toying with the idea of loosing the pinto and going with a bike engine....
now...
what would my pinto be worth?
its a 2ltr 205 block, with injection head, the whole engine has been fully rebuilt witha recon head, with a fast road cam, lightend flywheel, new
clutch, type 9 gearbox....it also has a stainless 4 branch manifold.....
whats the best bike engine to look for and what else would i need to convert???
and how much???
am now with megajolt so would prefere a bike engine on carbs.....
cheers

That's the exact opposite of Hellfire's yearly april fool thread that we'll no doubt be getting again this year ^_^
I sold my pinto on ebay and got twice what I was expecting, there was a mad bidding war towards the end. Mine was a recon 205 block, injection head,
fast road cam, twin 45 webers and I got just over £800, then sold the lightened flywheel & exhaust so over a grand in total.

Have you driven a BEC Barry? Great fun when you're in time-attack-mega-banzai mode, but it can get pretty tiresome pretty quickly if
you're just out for a pootle!
It's Evolution Baby!

stick with the pinto mate, its simply the right thing to do, if you want i will try and sort out a membership to the P&O owners Club!
I love Pinto's, even if i did get mine from P&O!

I'd stick with the pinto for now and get some use out of it
apart from anything else - if its IVA'd with a pinto on pre-cat emmisions - then all/any future engines will only have to meet the same standard
as a the pinto does

Zetec would be easier and a lot cheaper
