I've got a 205 block pinto complete with EFI (you'll probably not want that bit) clutch and alternator if that's any good - freight is £40 it's already on a pallett ready to go.

Not that difficult to source individually. the zetec engine needs the water pump from the 1.6 or 1.8 escort then a bearing tapping into the end of the crank to carry the lay shaft. the sandard zetec clutch can be used but a capri bearing is really needed to get the full use from the clutch plate. Standard type nine then a megajolt plenty out there along with maps for the engine

So its no point in buying it now then.
As with the other bits i need to get that would have been more in my price range

Still looking

I have a 2.0 Pinto on Weber 40's which allegedly has a ported / polished head and fast road cam (never inspected the ports - the camshaft has HR 330 stamped on the end). Allegedly made 155bhp on the Bogg Brothers dyno (previous owner said I could call them to confirm - I haven't).

Certainly pulls like a train and is more rapid than any of the previous Pinto's I've owned!

Comes with alloy sump, fairly new looking alternator / leads, Lumenition electronic ignition, mild steel exhaust manifold, standard clutch / bell housing, and good Type 9. Pretty much plug 'n' play.

Could secure to a pallet and deliver for £70.

Open to offers...
