2006 SALOON STOCK CAR SPECIFICATIONS

 

2. ENGINES

The only engine permitted is the 2-litre Ford Pinto. It must remain as manufactured by Ford other than where specified.

 

The "207" block is not permitted. A catch tank must be fitted within the engine compartment capable of catching any oil discharged from the engine.

 

This comes from the SSRA reguations for Siera racing, so the 207 must be a Sierra block I guess...

just googled "207 Pinto" and it came up with a turbosport thread;

looks like it's a low comp tranny engine from what i can gather

Done a bit of research myself and my earlier guess of a 1800 Sierra engine is wrong as that would have 185 on it.
