Hello Pinto people, I need help with some parts for my new engine. no one in Australia seems to be able to help. I just got a 2.3 pinto reco engine from ebay Aus. Its got no flywheel,front crankshaft pulley,oil pump, sump
or rockercover. can anyone help with finding and getting the bits to Sydney?.The engine is going into a mk1 escort, I know its not a real pinto but it is a distant relative. Please help.
regards
Phil
p/s Ive included a photo of the car.
I was wondering if you tried looking at the United States ebay? sure shipping will cost a bit more, but you will get your parts. Good luck Tim
Thanks Tim, I am watching ebay US now and finding it hard to stay on focused, just so much car stuff.
Regards
Phil
Next question!
can anyone tell me if; a 2.0 sump will fit the 2.3 engine? and will a cosworth YB head fit a 2.3 block?

for all the hassel of not being able to find parts locally and the motor not fitting the car you intend to put it in I would have thought the 2ltr escort motor the best option it bolts straight in and in most states a engineer's certificate in not required. Did you really think this through?

NO and It might. Sorry for the quick answers but the second answer is just a guess.
hi non profit & turbopinto72
I have a couple of 2.0 & 1.6 engines in the workshop that I could fit but everybodys got one of those in an escort, the same cant be said for a 2.3.Its just something different & I think the torque at the lower revs could be advantageous comming out of slow or slippery corners on the forrest tracks.
turbopinto72,thanks for the info I will press on & keep you posted on progress.
Thanks to both for your inputs
Regards
