why would anyone ever want to waste a pound on a pinto let alone 500 of them even the older crossflow is a better engine than a pinto. for £700 you can buy a brand new in the box 2.0 zetec that will make loads more power be economical and actually nice to drive.
I started with a 1600 pinto in mine and after a year of messing about i eventually swapped it for a saab turbo engine. never looked back the saab engine is 100000000x more refined and makes 200+ bhp out of the box. the whole conversion including ecu engine and omega gearbox cost me under £600 and a bit of time.
