I have for sale my 2.1L 180BHP (at the wheels, at Bogg Brothers) pinto out of my Fury. This is a high-spec much loved engine that has had all manner of love, care and expense lavished on it; the only people who turn a spanner on the engine are Bogg Brothers. To quote Boggs, "eee that's a right powerful lump is that". It's only ever been run on Valvoline racing oil, changed every 500 miles max.


Description

I also have for sale the Dellorto twin 45 carbs (DCOE fitting) that have been specifically set up, tuned and jetted for the engine, and if you make me an offer I like, then there's hundreds of pounds of goodies that came off the engine that I will include with it. I may be tempted into having the carbs as a separate sale, but first of all I'd like to see if you want it as an entire outfit.


Description

I've priced up all the extras for the engine that I will include below (either new, or ebay prices as of yesterday, so if you were to go for this, this will show you how much it would cost to get to this point if you started from scratch).

the head
Firstly, the head is a Dave Walker special, built by him and fitted and dyno tuned by Boggs. The head breathed so well that Dave Bogg could re-jet the carbs it to let even more fuel in We have genuinely seen 200 on the rollers with this setup, but then backed it off a little to keep it sane. This was done with a MSD ignition system, Shell Optimax and Aldon octane booster. It is currently set to run without the octane booster, but should always drink the Optimax or other quality fuel: at this level of tune, fuel really matters.

The spec is a full machine and build by Dave Walker. We specced it to be a head that was good on the track, but tractable for the road (as in lots of power for hill-climbing, but something that didn't need 3000 rpm just to get off the line). As such it will pull away in a civilised manner and comes on the power at 3000 rpm. By 4500 rpm, all hell is breaking loose . It revs freely to 7500 with no issues and would happily pull beyond 8. On the second straight at Harewood I'd be sat at 7500 RPM half way down, rock steady. I didn't ever take it beyond this though - by quaife box is geared so that 7500 RPM gave me nearly 80mph anyway.

As well as the porting, checking, skimming, etc, it has a piper A8 cam, adjustable vernier pulley, single groove REC race valves, appropriate valve guides, 44.5mm inlet, 38mm exhaust. It's on a cometic cylinder head gasket. If you wanted this work done yourself, you're looking at £600+. The head has done less than 1000 miles.

Pintos like to throw a lot of air around, so the rocker cover has been modified - firstly it has a much larger breather hole tig welded in (1 inch IIRC), and secondly, I have fitted the Burton Performance breather valve at the bottom of the block - you then need to route both of these to a catch tank. I have the appropriate steel braided hoses for this, and I'll include them


Description

It's on a higher capacity alloy sump and this picture just shows the brass mechanical oil gauge take off. That small brass fitting isn't in the sale and will be removed, else my gauge will be useless.


Description

The Transmission
For the transmission, I have an RS2000 clutch plate that has done fine in my fury - the car is 600kg and the combination works well. I'm including the clutch-lever arm, bearing and the cast iron bellhousing. It's narrower than the alloy bellhousing, and I found this worked well in my fury - the ease of fitting made it worth the weight at the time. I've just reworked the footwell on my fury to take a wider bellhousing and believe me, it was a massive amount of work.


Description

The Carbs
Secondly, I have a fully sorted set of Dellorto 45s, choked and set with the right length trumpets and jets, on a high quality cast alloy inlet manifold. Again set up by Dave Bogg as this engine has evolved over the years I've had it. I went for Dellortos rather than webers because they don't lose their tune. The carbs have an OEM twin throttle cable attachment with twin return springs (mandatory for FSA compliance). These are on the extended 90mm filters, so the trumpets (size recommended by Dave) have at least their own length extra again in the filter to suck air in, rather than the trumpet inlet sitting near filter panel, not getting to breath. If you respect your engine, this is how you do it.

It has a matched facet fuel pump and pressure regulator - again will be included if my price is met.

It's on a bosch electronic ignition distributor rather than the original points and rotor arm. This helped eliminate bounce and enabled the power to be reliable at higher RPM.

I REALLY WANT YOU TO HAVE BOTH TOGETHER because they've been setup together and you'd save hundreds of pounds in time on the rollers. I've not put it up on ebay yet because you are the discerning reader and if you're on this forum, you know what you're buying.

The Extras

So, what do you get if you buy the engine for £700 and the carbs for £400. I will include the entire outfit including fisher exhaust as listed below. So, not only do you get the carbs, but also the filters, trumpets, etc. These have come from a working engine, so aren't shiny and new, but are in great condition and will benefit from the polishing effort you choose to apply:

4 off carb trumpets £75
93mm bolt on filter kit £80
Alloy Rocker Cover modifications £20
RS2000 uprated clutch cable £11
Iron Bellhousing, including clutch lever arm and bearing
Alternator £40
Ally Alternator bracket £22
RS2000 Clutch
throttle cable linkage kit £40
Inlet Manifold £100
Dellorto Carbs (would be £350)
head gasket set £20
Cometic head gasket
facet fuel pump £45
fuel pressure regulator£ 30
two throttle cables
crank case breather
Oil Cooler (Mocal I think) £70
Sandwich Plate £27
Braided lines (x2) £20
Fury Exhaust (blows a tiny bit until warm) £150
880

So, excluding the base carbs themselves, but including everything else, I make that £880 worth of extras, fittings, essentials, etc.

Payment

Make me an offer via U2U and if there are several offers I will select someone. I will also give you my phone number so we can chat about the engine if I've missed anything. Needless to say, this is a large amount of stuff and would possibly fit on a pallet but you'd be far better off collecting. I have an engine crane on site and will help you get it into your car or van. If you need it palleting up, I will quote for this, but it's extra to the price.

Ideally I would prefer a deposit of £100, 50% refundable if you can't complete the sale. Then I would need a cash transfer to clear at the time of collection, or we can drive to a bank and withdraw the funds there.

As stated above, it's not listed on ebay; if I can't get a sale to a locoster, I'll probably split it and farm it out in pieces. I'll make more that way but it would be a shame to break such a good working combination.

looks like a nice setup
pitty I've already spent the money on mine (alot more than your asking too )


what I didn't see much about in you spec is the bottom end ?
has it got cast pistons ? std. rods ? light flywheel ?......
also what CR has it be built for ?

Good point. I've never actually had the bottom end off on this engine - all the work has been top end; I didn't want to disturb what's working well.

It's a 2 series rather than 205 block.
