polly-pinto

may have todo the rack n pinion then i can choose pretty much any thing, especially as a friend has a 3.5 sd1 v8 with g-box, prop and a 3.0 capri axle which he doesnt want anything for, but im thinking this might be a bit large for a first project.

Its def out of a sierra and not a tranny etc, the only prob i can see is that its a rear sump (although very small) where as the tina is a front sump, any ideas welcome.

cheers guys, somewhat enlightning, may stick to the blighty versions if theres no way to get bits, check some american web sites i think.

As Im new to this can anyone shed light on the engine ive been offered, its out of a sierra and is supposedly a 2.3 ford engine that looks similar to a pinto, I am told its from an american ford mercury and has about 140bhp, its a straight four ohc, I havent checked the engine numbers yet, I am hoping to squeeze it into a mk2 cortina, any info good or bad welcome, cheers polly-( not so pinto )
