On the subject of Mk1 Cortinas...

Toby Kent's Mk1 Cortina attracts a lot of attention. And looking like this I'm not surprised.

Toby Kents Cortina

Here's the spec:

Pre-crossflow built on an L block.

3D machined head for perfect chamber replication accross the cylinders.
RS200 BDT pistons (85.6mm) with the tops machined off to loose the bowls.
Stroker Dug Kiddie crank.
Arrow Rods.
Race steel cam.
Thin stem followers!
Tran X diff for strength with large shafts.

 

180 + Bhp (Sanspeeds rollers showed 201bhp but I think that reads a little high)
Toby says

Recently having boken so many pinto gear boxes I have made every cog in the box as straight cut gears from alloy tool steel. This meant I could choose my ratios. Whilst I was at it I made it a dog box.

You gotta love a cossie powered Anglia. But when the work is being done by Gary from Retromotorsport, you know it's going to be something special.
