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

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

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.
