Cosworth bottom end

[Guest MK1gaz]

Got myself a complete cosworth YB bottom end today for my mk1 cortina project for the pricely some of £390 . So that's a pinto block with a steel crank + steel rods for less money than a Duratec water rail and alternator relocation kit !!!!!!!!!! . What's even better is it's a proper FORD engine . So to turbo or to Atmo , that is the question

[Guest MK1gaz]

Whoooooooooooooooooooosh psssssssssst or Baaaaaaaaaarrrrrrp , baaaaaaarrrrrp , baaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp go the 48's . P.S. this cars getting slicks and all the bits will be missing

[DarrenM]

I must be missing something, whats wrong with Gaz's thread?

[pauln]

[antz]

ITS CALLED NATURAL ASPIRATION (N/A) NOT FOOKING ATMO!

Nothing wrong with it mate , it's oldskoolford chat . Seems that some people take offence to anything these days unless a thread is started by a member saying "how much is this worth" or "i'm bored" or "opinions on my new wheels please" etc etc .

you dirty cheat

 

 

could you stick a pinto head on it then change the pistons (to up the compression or whatever need doing togo ATMO) and make a strong 8v

[Posse]

no its all good but it gets a bit boring about bits missing slicks and that don't you think?

[Guest MK1gaz]

And your point is gaz? Fook me ive missed all this bullshit NOT .

My point is = you can buy a steel cranked , steel rodded pinto blocked engine for a bargain £390 if you look in the right places .

[Guest MK1gaz]

no its all good but it gets a bit boring about bits missing slicks and that don't you think?

What's boring about saying my cortinas going to be lightened out and have all the bits missing then ?

[Posse]

nothing but you seem to say the same old shit. Maybe its just me as ive got the arse.

ATMO makes you sound retarded oh my cars ATMO...atmo what?....at the moment its got wheel?..at the moment it goes? at the moment my start works?

 

N/A...naturally aspirated...no turbos, no shit, no AT THE MOMENTS no nonsense N/A

 

If it was suppsoed to eb called ATMO gran turismo and every other racing game would call it ATMO....

blimey , lets talk about wheels then . Will chrome spinners suit it !!!!!!!!

[Posse]

lets talk about how great you are

[Guest MK1gaz]

lets talk about how great you are

Yes let's . I've done the job with the heavy comfy escort and now i'm gonna do it with a featherweight , slick shod old cortina with a bit of "spray" in bhp for good measure . 11's here i come

[pauln]

Come on give Gaz a chance to do something different. The pinto may not be my first (or second) choice of engines but it has gone in many a mk1 or 2 cortina. My personal favorite of pinto engined Cortinas is still Ratmans though (a pretty high bar i think).

PS might as well turbo otherwise part of that £390 was wasted on the pistons.

AWW HERE GOES!

[Posse]

[Guest MK1gaz]

isnt that cheating though?

Yes i think so but not according to the vast majority on here it's not

[DEP]

Well done for finding a bargain Gaz

Going to try and go into the 11's or faster the cheapest way possible . This is always going to be with a pinto based engine cos they fit easy and all the bits bolt straight to them . Not sure wiether i need the extra expense of a turbos shell fabriciation + uprating + atlas axles etc etc .

So you are going to have to shell out on pistons then. What are you doing for a sump? Or do you have a rack already fitted?
