Next potential donor is the E36 3 series BMW, but obviously modifications to the Haynes design will need to be made, and special parts will be needed also. |

The 2L Pinto is quite a rare beast to track down. I'm using the 1.8 Pinto, although I would have also gone for a 1.8 CVH. Personally I'm not a big fan of the DOHC and MT75 box due to their size. My plan is to build the car and get it running with my 1.8 pinto, this also allows me to go for an age related plate. Then while hooning around in the car prep a C20xe to slide under the bonnet for a truly experience

How about buying any old sierra with a type 9 gearbox, and getting a 2.0 pinto elsewhere? Scrappie, ebay? Trawl the retro ford/capri/escort/sierra/granada forums and you should find a few good ones for sale.

I wouldn't worry too much about the engine in the car, its not like you HAVE to use the engine. I'd concentrate on getting one with the right running gear and gearbox.
You can use any engine off the sierra and any gearbox. Its just that the pinto and a type 9 is the easiest to squeeze into a kitcar. In all honesty, the more you read about kitcars, you'll probably end up modifying your scope / design. I decided to source my engine separately, because it will be a long wait for the perfect donor, plus I wanted a pre-cat engine as I think its easier to set up a carb engine than fuel injection / cat converter. |
