BTW, this is why the engine was tore down. The #1 piston did not like the lean condition..... ..........

I am swapping over to a carb/turbo setup. this is the intake side. I will be fabbing up a crossover manifold.

I will also be using an electramotive crank fire ignition. here are some of the parts.

Brad,
That looks like a HIGH DOLAR crank.
What is the C.I. on your green Pinto?

Well, Its time to install the engine. First, I need to make sure my new pistons are the correct distance in the hole.

turbopinto72 · « **Reply #37 on:** August 27, 2005, 05:09:30 PM »

A closer look at the piston. I spent some time smoothing out all the sharp edges on the piston relief notches

So, the engine is in the car, It went smooooooothly.

Hey Brad, glad to see you back at it with the green car! I like the weber side draft....but i really like the EFI thing, what will you be doing with the old EFI set up? I may be interested in it, whatcha got? LOL I'm considering building a 2.3 turbo instead of the 302 single turbo..the price of gas.....space for tubing, cooling ect. What does Esllinger want for one of they're "nash" aluminum heads (Arca is way more then i would need!) with big valves and the .585 .585 lift cam...any idea? I'd be looking for about 500hp at the crank, all boost no nitrous. I would also use the megasquirt efi with megaspark timing control, no more EEC based fuel injection for me.....and no more vam or mass air meter... all controlled via laptop.

Hey Brad,
Looks like a tough choice.
I did not know the 48 dcoe looked so much different than the 40-45.
Thanks for the great shots.... Might want to work on the horns...
NOT too SHINNEY

From Pintony
P. S. Wish I knew you were considering a 4V carb I saw a turbo 4V intake on ebay few weeks back.

turbopinto72 · « **Reply #49 on:** August 28, 2005, 12:07:54 AM »

Jeff, I am selling ALL my EFI stuff. I will gather a list of components I have and let you know.

Tony, this is NOT the shiney stage of things. I will be doing a all Black and Chrome engine theme on this car. As far as the hornes goe's, Yes I was thinking about your set up and I think you really need the Velocity Stacks on your webber. They are really needed for a proper tune up.

Brad -sounds like you are a talented fab and wrench man! I'm interested in the cost of some of these tricked out motors, too. I am unique in that I too like to go fast, but only at a reasonable cost. I see way too many guys spending the cost of a house on some car that still doesn't even put it on the radar when it come to national speed or et and records.
Too many other diversions out there. I have an old '80 model that I pulled out of an old weedy yard, missing some parts, now found, and I would like to know what you recommend for a fun rebuild on it. 2.3 of course, and I am entertaining a turbo. Do you really need a turbo crank, or can you get by with stock? And it seems to me that the head is the path to power, and what is a good source for these heads and turbo pieces? I am not interested in going broke, but I will have some cash for fun!

Hi, IÂ´m from ARGENTINA and IÂ´m building my Ford TAUNUS which has the 2.3 engine, IÂ´m going to turbocharge it, i have many things as forjed cranckshaft, carrillo rods, WEBER 48IDA,etc. I congratulate for your work and for choosing this engine to race. I have a doubt what kind of clutch do you use??. I have a manual transmission and I will buy a Twin-disc(let say 3 discs, IÂ´donÂ´t know how you call it) because many said that itÂ´s the only one which can support the HP

this is an old picture

IÂ´d like to have more info about 2.3 engine, if anybody wants to talk with me mondinobiker@hotmail.com
