2.1 tuned Pinto engine

This was fitted to the Stylus kit car I recently bought. I'm selling as I want to fit a Zetec SE engine instead.

205 block rebored to 2.1 litres
Ground and balanced crankshaft
Lightened flywheel
Kent cams fast road camshaft and followers
Vernier camshaft pulley
Head gas flowed by previous owner (is an engineer)
Dellorto twin 40 carbs with linkage, trumpets and pipercross filters
RS2000 alloy sump
4-1 exhaust manifold
Aftermarket cylinder head cover
All ancillaries (alternator, water pump, distributor, coil etc.)

Also included is a gasket set, book on pinto engine tuning and a stack of reciepts.






£950 or PX with Zetec SE parts (1.7 engine, type 9 bellhousing etc.)

Can be inspected and collected from Littlehampton, West Sussex.

Feel free to call me on 07799142151

Which Kent cam?
Has the head got bigger valves if so how big?
Is the head the injection variant? ( not so important if the head has been properly ported)
What compression ratio does the engine run?

Good questions. I'm not sure but will message the previous owner to find out.

I know the engine is originally from a 1989 Sierra.
I can remove the cam cover so see the camshaft. I assume there will be a number on the camshaft?

Number is on the rear face of the cam, I would expect a Kent cam to have FR## with hash being a number, it could however have RL##

Can type and details on the head porting and valve sizes are the details that will sell your engine.

For the discerning buyer the type of rod, Rod bolt and piston type is usually of interest.

Looking closer at your photos I can see an unusual filler cap arrangement which would require a vent pipe somewhere out of the rocker cover.

The vernier cam pulley points to an uprated camshaft.

The thermostat cover is straight and something I have not seen before.

Thanks for the info snapper.

I have spoken to the original owner/builder.

Valve sizes are standard.
He is not sure of compression ratio.
Pistons are oversize but not sure of manufacturer or CR.
Conrods and bolts are standard but bolts are new.


I will take the cover off to get the camshaft number. If anyone is seriously interested I will take off the cylinder head so the porting, bores, pistons etc. can be inspected.

If someone with more knowledge of Pinto engines than me thinks the price is wrong one way or the other then please let me know.

I can also include the type 9 bell housing and a sytec fuel pressure regulator.

The camshaft has fr32 stamped on the rear face. Google says this is a Kent fast road cam.

I'm open to offers before it goes on eBay
