2 Liter Pinto Motor

[BrianT1]

Looking for a 2 Liter Pinto Motor. Would prefer a motor built by a known builder, Elite, Quicksilver etc. Contact me with information on what you have. Looking at price, mileage etc.

You can send me your info at btomasi96@gmail.com

Here's a snip of my search of salvage yards for a 2.0 pinto motor. Snag one and send it off to your builder of choice?

Good luck!

Cade,

Do you know which casting is considered the best?
Or all they the same - just different foundries.....

Beer,

Good question -- I thought I found an answer, but it turns out it may not apply. I'm still looking.

Edit: Hmm... I think it DOES apply, but someone with more knowledge than I may have more info. Several sites said basically this same thing.

Summary: The 200 block is stronger in several ways, but the 205 has better cooling.

Doesn't it cost less to buy a good fresh engine than to start with an old core and build or have it built up? Especially with racing clutch, sump, etc?

If you walk into a quality engine builder and wanted a stock pinto built to SCCA FC spec... expect to pay about $11,000.

It's far cheaper to find an already prepped engine and refresh.

OBTW, when buying junkyard dogs remember;
The Ford 2 liter single overhead camshaft “NE” series engine and the 1971-74 Pinto/Capri 2 liter single overhead camshaft engine shall conform to the following specifications. The nominal bore is 90.84mm and the nominal stroke is 76.95mm (Note: All blocks shall contain casting number HM6015BA, HM6015AA, HM6015BB, HM6015AB, HM6015DA, or HM6015AD. Dashes in the casting number are not relevant.). Produc­tion tolerances are permitted providing the total swept volume does not exceed 2000cc.

I knew someone would have more details.

I wouldn't have expected one to be 11K. I was thinking more in the range of 3-4K. For that price, I might have to go into the engine building business. I have been kicking around the idea of building my own spare motor anyhow, just to see how well I could do.

If you need donor parts (cores) for a build let me know. I have several blocks, cranks, heads, etc. Essentially enough hardware to build multiple engines. I'll be moving soon and will sell you the lot (or some portion) for a good price so that I don't have to move it to a new house.

[MotorCade]

If BrianT1 is not interested in your parts (I feel he should have first choice, it is his thread, after all) then I'd really like to see what you have and may take the lot (depending on how much, of course) off your hands.

You'll soon be surprised by the costs of building a stock engine into a race engine.
Sit down with a Pegasus or BAT catalog and start adding up the pieces.
You only use the stock block, crank, fuel pump, intake, head, valve cover and cam followers. And all of those take extensive modification. $$$
I have recently heard prices in the $1K range to change a Holley 2 barrel into a true race carb.
To buy: front pulleys, belts, dry sump pump and pan, rods, pistons, flywheel, cam, AL water pump, special valve adjusters (for new style cam), clutch, valve springs, plumbing lines, etc.
Then blueprint it all. ...and assemble correctly. oh... and then dyno.

[Purple Frog]

Brian,

I PM'ed you a contact for a almost new top shelf pro QS.

[MotorCade]

Not my first motor build, but would be my first race motor build. Sitting down with the catalog to count costs was a planned activity... If it's in the 3-5K range, I might give it a go, but not this year.

needs rebuild but last build by elite engines.ran in my fc but down on horsepower.i would take 3k for it
