Alloy 16v Pinto power

[mk1gaz]

Hi folks , just for the engine lovers out there here's some pics of my new engine being built by Wayne Mitchell for the next evolution of my comfy mk1 Escort street car .
No Nazi racing rules/regs for me too comply with so i'm going all out mega power 2.7 litre screamer for max attack and not bothering with the smaller under 2.5 litre versions the rally lot have too use .
Should be around 330bhp-ish and 240ibs/ft of torque (on proper Dyno-Dynamics rollers) so should be nippy .
No doubt my merry band of haters will be on here sobbing and spamming soon but seeing as they can't even keep up with my small 2 litre engine then it's best they keep quiet , lol .

Underside pic of the alloy block . You can see these are very different to an iron pinto block .

horses,horses........

have you got a money tree ?

[mk1gaz]

No but i've got 3x lock ups full of shite too sell and that shite is now worth more than this engine's is costing !!!

Pic of my 92mm steel crank . I got lucky with this as it was only used for one event and the guy need too drop back down under 2.5 litres for new racing class rules/regs.
Out of a proper Millington engine and custom made for them by Fardon so narrow journals for low fricton and lightened/smaller counter weights etc . Saved me a few quid that's for sure as they are usually big bucks .

Gaz, yours years behind, I ran a 2.5 litre 8 valve millington engine in my Autograss car, in 2001. I suppose it's took you this long to save up for the alloy block, :-)

Wayne is passionate about what he does,
your in safe hands.

I know everyone gives you shit mate, but you have one hell of a car with a proper motor and now your putting together the ultimate engine for a escort or maybe a Fiat!!, I met you once at the classic ford show at Santa Pod a few years ago, you introduced me to Wayne from WPE and you were nothing like the bloke you are on the forums, I think you just like the winding people up I look forward to seeing this engine coming together, I know you will update it.

lol , i've had the block 5 years already and it was cheap as half price when i bought it . Plus it's 2.7 litres not a gay lower power 2.5 one .

My alloy block is a Worral and Grainger one cast in the UK . They've been cast in different places over the years so depends what batch you get .
