How much!!?

You could get a zetec and tune it for less than that with more power...

surely even a std duratec for that money, I know which i'd rather have!

I suppose a pound for a pound is the going rate

i bought my 2.1 pinto from Vulcan ad its the 165bhp spec. put a limiter on it to run it in and it does not run the full 165 bhp yet but does it perform

timed at 0 to 60 4.5 secs two up

just reminded my self that ive done the required miles so i can turn the revs up to 7600 fro 6000

i'd recomend a good pinto... sorry boat anchor

Whilst there are cheaper, newer engines, what would it cost to get a 2.0 litre Pinto to the spec he's got?

Yes possably good for a Pinto, but an almost standard Zetec will make 160, with a great deal less being spent on it, and will still coble on the same gear box. Cheers Ray

it has to be worth that, the carbs must fetch afew hundred on there own

I would imagine to build a Pinto to that specification it would cost considerably more, so if you have a pinto and are thinking of upping the power this has to be a cost and time effiecent way of doing it.

Yes it would, and after all, you don't HAVE to accept the buy-it-now price!

I believe you can make an offer.
