pinto dimensions needed
Would anyone happen to know the height (from sump to cam-belt cover) of a 2litre pinto engine. I would also be interested to know the length from
thebellhousing bolt face to the nose of the water pump (or whatever else sticks out the most). I am researching alternatives to the pinto engine.
TIA, John

Are you using CAD? I have 3D models of 1.6 pinto, 2.0i DOHC, 2.9V6, some jap engines and various gearboxes. They are quite accurate and show intake
and exhaust, alternators, fan belts, distributors, etc. as well as mounting points.

I'm not using CAD at the moment, but am interested in hearing reccommendations as to which program to get. In the meantime, could your program output
a jpeg I could see?

John,
Just had a quick measure of my 2.0 litre Pinto, with the chopped sump(level with the gearbox bellhousing)is 545 mm from the bottom of the sump to the
top of the rocker cover i.e not including the oil filler spout.
It's 600mm from the gearbox flange to the front of the water pump.
Cheers
Chris

I was interested to see how my V6 cologne 2.4 ford (little brother of 2.9) compared.
Its 610 long and 640 high, to the top of the plegnum chamber, to the unmodded sump. Recon about 60mm could come off there if needed.
Dont compare too bad really. Acommodated extra height by running the chassis with 7.5 ins ground clearance and a 11 ins scuttle height on std height
chassis.

Interesting bit of comparison (or not for Bob) :
Pinto = 115 hp injected, in say a 600kg car = 192 bhp ton.
Ford 2.9 150hp injected, is about 50-70 kg more than a pinto, so 670kg all up = 223 bhp ton.
These are std engines, with no expensive twin carbs or trick mods.
For Jon, yep, a bike engine is much better - say 520kg at 135hp from a fireblade = 260 bhp ton.
Yes, I am bored.

Steve.
I suspect Liam might have something to add with his 170hp 2.7 honda v6.

Thanks for the info, Gentlemen. Anyone interested in Ford V6 performance tuning might like to have a look at

Yep, I saw 'Drivel' last night.
Cant quite understand how the cavalier came out winner. It was beaten by the xr4x4 on the acelleration test, but came 1 car length ahead of the
hustling ford in a short race. The ford was attatched to its rear bumper!

The Bently almost had the elise beat too. Maybe I'm going the wrong way, maybe I should go for the big weight big power. Hmmm maybe not.
I like the v6 sierra's. I ran about in a 4x4 one for a couple of weeks there till I managed to break a conrod last weekend. Took a day to strip the
front suspension and take the engine out. Contemplated putting it back together for a couple of months till the tax runs out but decided to strip it
early. Great traction and low end grunt but found the sierra understeered horrendously, hopefully in a locost it'll be sorted. Get the Max Power lads
to get it 'SORTED'.
Sorry, back to the subject before I get abuse from Wally. What would be the best format to post drawings. JPGS lose some of the data, would WMF be any
good?

GIF format isnt lossy, nor is a BMP file - but you could ip it to save on the massive space.
Another way is to download Acrobat Writer from Kazaa (freebe hacked version) which will save to a pdf document.

Sorry, I didn't mean data loss I meant resolution. Sometimes it can be hard to read numbers and text on jpgs from drawings. WMF seam to scale it and
it can be read into word.

Hi Dunc
I'm interested in those drawing too but DEFINITlY NOT in 3D CAD.
Can you make them .pdf; anyone can download freely Acrobat Reader from www.adobe.com to read .pdf files.
Cheers

Ok J I'll give it a go. If Boss Man manages to get the file thingy up and running I can put stuff there. I'm still trying to sort out all my cad
files, have over 3000, so its taking a lot longer than I'd expected.

I've just seen the postings by DUNC about the cad diagrams of the 2.9 cologne. I would really really love to get my hands on them for use in Autocad
2002 on a 4x4 one off I'm working on. If DUNC is out there or anyone knows where I might find him please get in touch, cheers.
