What engine would go in it?

transit pinto is the same as mk3/4/5 cortina apart from lower compresion ratio skim the head down and some bigger valves will have plenty of poke or any cortina pinto straight in

Hiya, lol Nope not one of mine, I had seen it on there and looking at the photos looks very nice! Unfortunately I haven't got the funds to have it otherwise id go look at it see if it would be worth the money.

If anyone on here is interested in it and wants to see it Ill happily come along and cast an eye/ear over with you smile
