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





Life is like a bowl of fruit, funny how all the weird looking ones are left alone

234 cam on vernier duplex set up with uprated iwiss chain, cam timed at 103 degrees

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

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...
