Pinto help!!

[dyt397c]

I`ve sold all the v6 stuff out of my Anglia and decided to put a pinto in. I`ve bought a complete 2 litre engine(205 block) a big valve head(45.5mm and 38mm valves and ported by Ferriday Engineering) a HT1 Kent Cam, twin 48 Webers with ported inlet, adjustable vernier, ARP bolts for the rods and flywheel. Will this lot work with a standard bottom end or will i need bigger pistons and better rods(Cossie?)

2.8 pistons work well for me

It will work but the engine won't perform as well as it should because the compression will not be high enough on a standard bottom end . It will still go well though no doubt

need to ask an engine builder like jeff,wayne or the ashtons but i think the lift might be a tad high for a standard bottom end,you might start kissing the valves.

with that type of cam you should be looking for compression ratio of at least 12:1 to get best out of it.

but like gaz said will go ok on standard lump.
