Hi all,

Over the winter, swmbo and I are going to be refurbishing the Pinto engine, (hopefully) in advance of us getting a kit next year.

(Enter Stage Right - 20 people telling me to build a bec....)

This is going to be as much a learning exercise as it is making sure that the whole thing doesn't fall apart first time it goes on the track.....

The Pinto I have is a 205 block, which I'm going to strip and see if it needs anything doing (honing, etc). I've had a read of the Des Hammill book, and have enlisted the help of swmbo's dad, who used to rally Escorts and Minis back in the day...

(he's builing a Spire GT-R at the moment, with a Blackbird engine in - Ron's Blackbird GTR site)

Ok, to the question... I've been picking up bits to help in this, an alloy sump, etc., and I was wondering if the standard RS2000 Alloy bellhousing will fit a type 9 gearbox, or if it needs to be modified at all.....

TIA guys,


Vince

RS2000 alloy bellhousing fits type 9 no problem

You may need the clutch lever to go with it and maybe a different clutch cable.

The RS2000 alloy sump is ideal for use with this as the alloy bell housing bolts to it

Excellent, thanks Mark.

RS2000 sump is already awaiting a clean-up, and there's a couple of housings on flea-bay I have my eye on.....

Cheers
