Mexico Posted February 1, 2010 Report Posted February 1, 2010 Quick question for you guys using the 205 block ... do you deck the block, use longer rods or shave the head??? Im guessing leave the head as it is as this is the most expensive item and I can always get a new block. Also, I'm upgraded to steel rods anyhow so might as well get longer ones? Also, is the pinto crank able to withstand the power ok? What do you guys do??

Mexico Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Posted February 2, 2010 I will be skimming the head slightly, but what i mean is, do I go down the route of getting the block decked, shorter pistons with longer rods?
Toby Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 Is it an entire Cosworth bottom end you have?
chunkys mk1 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 check out classis ford this month whole section on n/a cosworth engine building
Mexico Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Posted February 2, 2010 I am using the standard Pinto 205 bottom end ... and in regards to the CF mag, I have not been able to find one in a shop near me yet
samurai Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 You know that the fiesta diesel rods can take up to 9K revs.Thats if you want to keep costs down but they need skiming on the sides as they are too wide for a drop in fit.
w p e Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 pistons are the answer to all your questions
samurai Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 You have to mod something on the pinto block if your gonna fit a cossy head but i cant remember what it was Something to do with a pulley i think Give Vulcan Engineering a call, Steve will know what you need to do
Mexico Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Posted February 2, 2010 I will need to modify the bottom pulley for the cam belts, I think i know this. Hmmm just bought a book on the things now. Looking to buy all the bits in the near future and build an engine over xmas lol
samurai Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 X-mass? thats too long build it for summer
Mexico Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Posted February 2, 2010 have a fast road Pinto to go in for the summer ... just to get it to the shows. would also like to learn to drive properly with a less powered car before jumping straight in the deep end. The 100e I have is bloody crazy, all good fun but I cannot drive it quick as its a tad too crazy lol
samurai Posted February 2, 2010 Report Posted February 2, 2010 Yeah my mex is my first car and its crazy
