Pinto - rebuild or not?!?!?!

[will_08]

Hey guys

my Sierra donor came with a 1600 pinto, which wasnt ideal but i was just going to get IVA'd with it then re-evaluate my options.........

Then my pal said he had this awesome 2ltr pinto, Burton stage 3 head, kent cam, vernier pully, 38dgas with K&N etc. but its a standard Cortina block. anyway i bought that. but now im thinking is it worth while putting money into rebuilding the engine? I know the big ends are worn, havent measured the crank yet. probably going to want honing, new rings etc

I was thinking still fit the 1600 then rebuild the engine as a side project at a latter date? but the engine rebuilt is probably going to stand me at about £500 is it worth the bother??
