Wtd Pinto parts
carlknight1982 - 19/9/11 at 01:27 PM

Im looking to build myself a 2.1 pinto for my Kit, Im just starting to collect the parts at the moment so I thought id take a peek to see what people have going free/ cheap / reasonable money before splashing out.

so anything for a 2.1 build about including advice.

I will be removing a complete 2.1 pinto from my Indy soon to fit a zetec runs really well and pulls like a train,prob cheaper to fit a complete engine then building one.

but if you want to give it a go then read this book:

it covers most of the options and work that needs done for each

not quite that bad yet - but we'll see what happens if I ever get round to sorting out an NA cossie head for it or I was starting to think about superchargers (after its on the road though)

besides you can't talk, I bet your new super pinto wasn't cheap
