Pinto, free to a good home..
Andy D - 28/10/08 at 10:19 AM

I have a 205 Pinto block, complete with crank, pistons etc, getting in the way. The engine was running perfectly well when I removed it, but has since been stored wrapped up in a plastic sheet in my greenhouse.. I greased the bores, and chucked oil all over before wrapping it, but have not had a look lately, to see what state it's in..
Anyone interested? pick up only.

Now awaiting the nautical applications, this item can be used for.

OK then, think of the environment,be sure to remove all the oil before attaching it to the anchor chain!

It was removed late last year, it's just the bottom end. No cylinder head.

if the cylinder head is removed prior to throwing it overboard, crabs and other marine life will take up residence in the bores.

Yes, this particular boat anchor worried a Busa powered Westy round Cadwell last year, in it's 140bhp guise..

The guy in the yellow car was a particularly 'average' jockey! You on the other hand drove quite well, although I confess I only watched 3 mins or so!
