Mick The Cabbie Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Yes I know this should probably be in the ebay section http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... SS:GB:1123 Interestin bit of kit though!
Admin Vista Posted February 27, 2009 Admin Report Posted February 27, 2009 Interesting that there's no information about its output. You'd have thought that would be the first thing someone would shout about.

V8ian Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 dont forget the US pinto bears no similarity to the European pinto, in reality its not even a pinto, its called a LIMA
bortaf Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Seeing as it's a lima and not a pinto the US power spec will be 460 BHP or about 190 in english thats a joke by the way i have no real idea
Mick The Cabbie Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 dont forget the US pinto bears no similarity to the European pinto, in reality its not even a pinto, its called a LIMA Yeah, I know. Still thought this particular one would make for an interesting topic though I'm surprised no-one has stuck one of these lumps in an OSF yet, just to be different. Although in standard form, they're heavy, underpowered and not particularly inspiring, the turbo'd version can make very good power. That red Merkur XR4Ti which had a mag feature last year had an interesting spec. That's already been covered on ere before though.. This is the first "fettled" N/A one I've ever seen. Volvo heads fit too, apparently. 16 valve 2.7 Pinto anyone??

For 3K though you'd expect this one to make half decent power. Prob got shed loads of torque
zimbabweanford Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 well they say you learn something new everyday, definitely didnt know pintos could get to 2.7l thats for sure
Admin Vista Posted February 27, 2009 Admin Report Posted February 27, 2009 well they say you learn something new everyday, definitely didnt know pintos could get to 2.7l thats for sure But as V8IAN & Bortaf said above, strictly speaking it's not a pinto. It's a Lima and they are much taller and have a longer stroke.
Mr Sam Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 aparently a 16v volvo head will go on these with a little bit of work
bortaf Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 aparently a 16v volvo head will go on these with a little bit of work I did see a thread somewhere (turbosport possably) about that volvo head conversion, looked interesting as the Lima does pop up for sale on a regular basis, there's a good few 2.3 turbo mustangs about form the 80s rusting away with em in. Fast car fitted one in a Mk1 escort "project dog" it was called never did get all the articals though
escortwithsunroof Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 looks cool anyway, would be nice a corty mk3 or summit
Mick The Cabbie Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Posted February 28, 2009 Just been flickin through the latest issue of Performance Ford. There's an XR4Ti on the cover with a Volvo head fitted onto a Ranger 2.5 bottom end (must be the Lima type of block?) and is pushin somethin like 600 brake
