Anybody recognize this pinto i bought?

[Daz271]

Hi all, im just wondering if anyone recognises this pinto ive bought and if so can you tell me anything about it?

 

I bought it a couple of weeks back, the guy i got it from had it sat in his garage waiting to go in his mk3 cortina but he changed his mind and bought a v6 cosworth instead.

 

He told me that he had bought it from a guy somewhere down south who had been running it in an anglia?

The only info he gave me is that it had a fast road cam in it, the head has been ported and gas flowed and it has a lightened flywheel.

To be honest he didn't really seem to know much more about it but had been asured by the last owner that it was pushing out 160 B.H.P. That seems a bit optamistic to me as its only running on twin 40's.

Once i got it home i whipped the cam cover off to find that its actually a kent KCRL1 cam. It's a 205 block and has the egg shaped inlet ports so presume it's unleaded.

 

I'm wondering if it's standard valve sizes and standard bottom end etc but i dont really want to split it open if it can be helped. I know it's a long shot but i'll put some pics up incase anyone knows the engine?

Any info on it would be much appreciated

Cheers Daz.
