hellblue Posted January 13, 2008 Report Posted January 13, 2008 "How cool is this" .................. it aint cool in my book
surfingturnip Posted January 14, 2008 Author Report Posted January 14, 2008 turnip youve finally lost it... you assume I ever had it in the first place Rick?
Team Blitz Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 Pollitt shoulda bot this Pinto instead of the Bowel Movement. At least it could be loaned out for the remake of the "Blues Brothers", where the Pinto had its biggest moment in movie history. The 2.3L ain't a Pinto OHC. Yes it's an OHC. Yes it's in a Pinto. No, it's not a Pinto OHC. It's a Lima OHC, and not a single part (including the drain plug) interchanges with a Pinto OHC. Think the only Lima 2.3L the UK got was under the bonnet of Andy Rouse's BTCC Sierra, where he ran a 2.3L turbo for a season or two instead of the Cossie YB. Norm EDIT: Ya farking me? If I type "S-I-E-R-R-A", the site automagically transmogrifies it to "jelly mould"?
hotrodholty Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 like its location suggest's, CHEDDAR.
Toby Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 EDIT: Ya farking me? If I type "S-I-E-R-R-A", the site automagically transmogrifies it to "jelly mould"? Try L4DY and P!G then!!
Team Blitz Posted January 15, 2008 Report Posted January 15, 2008 So is the 2.3 any good for tuning Meh, the Lima OHC has its big fanbase. We HAVE to tune them here, because the Pinto OHC motor left these shores in 1974 never to return again. So, other than specialists (like us), the landscape is pretty dried up for Pinto OHC spares. I particular, given their junkyard value, the turbo-injected Lima 2.3L is in favor with budget rodders. It's heavy. It's horribly balanced (almost no counterweights on the crank). But it's robust and dirt cheap. They can make 300 horse with turbo and some trix.
