Pinto or Crossflow?

[X-pack-Glyn]

is it the pinto that goes brooooooom brooooooom....

or the crossflow that goes brooOOOOoooom brooooOOOOOOOoooom...

 

but dammit the crosflow has rattle, so i like pinto, more power.... brooooooooom brooooooom, or with 3 kg flywheel broom broom broom very fasty indeedy.

 

What you reckon, broooom broooom or broooOOOOoooom broooOOOOOm (with a rattle)?

[Fiesta Steve]

My crossflow goes brooom brooom with zero rattle.

 

Every pinto powered car I've been in sounds very mechaniclly horrid and rattlely, me no likey

[X-pack-Glyn]

But pinto very strong! crossflow more rattly!!

[Fiesta Steve]

Yes, Pinto very strong, but good crossflow no rattlely

Yes, high corner speeds + no baffles in sump = Zero oil pressure = rattley crank

 

Crank is now reground

Don't be drawn in by the X-flow propaganda there ain't that much in it

[hotrodholty]

push rod power

[escort21]

Xflow all day long although a pinto is good fun

[Noodles]

Pinto they run on no oil, but not for long

[Guest MK1gaz]

Both are fab and proper oldskool power . A quick x-flow costs more than a quick pinto so keep this in mind if wanting a fast car

[Johnson]

crossflow all the way imo

[Guest Mexicandave]

Anyone know where I can get one of the elusive large CC AX block crossflows from ?

 

Been looking for ages for a decent block, these engines are shrouded in myth and can be taken up to 2.0 and even 2.2, they were made in South Africa for motorsport applications but rarely turn up for sale.

 

Its my intention to stick one in my Mex and give the Pintos a run for their money.

 

It aint gonna be cheap I know but it'll be worth it if I can get 200 + out of an old Crossflow !
