hi new member
french member .....
i am building locost
and i look after differences betwenn all the ford engines...
xflow crossflow pinto...etc
my project is a sierra 2.0 gt whith card and dohc
is it a crosflow ,pinto or....?
in france is nt easy to understand...
and my inglish is not perfect!
thancks to explain to me

pinto

If its DOHC then its neither a pinto nor a x-flow. Just a DOHC surely?

DOHC is a direct development of the Pinto, but it is not a Pinto.

you are correct just checked my engine book dohc is a dohc

dohc engines were a replacement for pinto,in the opinion of most peeps its about as usefull as a chocolate teapot,use pinto (single o h c ) or x flow

thancks at all
ianother quetion is there a difference for exhaust system betwenn all this modelsof engine particulary for exhaust manifoild?

Yes, on a pinto the exhaust exits on the drivers side, right hand side in our country, sorry and on a x/flow(cross flow) it exits on the passenger side !,
Hope it helps

Jason

thancks is not a simple difference!!!
its important for me because i have already the exhaust manifold stainless 4-1
and it s for an x flow engine left side exits !!
also i w ill change my plans for engines....
in what type of cars can i look after this type ? only old cars ?
thancks enought

is me enought!
i hope that in pinto and dohc are same side for exhaust exit?

if i have understand!
xflow and dohc are left side exhaust
and pinto is right side...
can you confirm thancks
question for end....
is the exhaust manifoild compatible betwenn dohc and xflow(mine is for xflow)
its not simple but i am optimist

all the maniflods and every peice of the 3 engines are different,you can find the x flow in mk1/2 escorts,some cortina mk2and early mk3,s,capri and some transits
