Title: Pinto motors
Post by: The North on October 26, 2012, 10:02:18 PM
2 Pinto motors both 1800s i am afraid 185s they have unleaded  s type heads and are partially striped one has sump off the other head removed, all the major bits are there including new gaskets. Swap for WHY i have no use for them, and no plans in the future. What have you got.

don't suppose you have a prop for a type 9 gearbox do you  ??? I'm told they are the same for the sierra as the diesel.....

Sorry i do have a prop but need it, i am going from type 2s to type 9s in the marlins, they are slightly heavier and the gear ratios are not ideal but because i have gone 5.2 to 1 diff instead of 4.6 to 1 in the marina 575 axles used i gat a nice crawler tor trickling theough sections and 5th gear will give roughly the same speed with the lower rear end ratio as the direct 4th did with the 4.6to 1  van diff.

These are getting the weigh in if no one wants them, i may keep the heads but begining to wonder why ???
  1800s are not 2 litres but they are not that bad on power with decent caruration cam and a little head work perhaps. and they have the same crank and stroke as a 2 litre so a straight bore out and new pistons gets you in effect a 205 2 litre engine that will just have 184 cast in to it.  ???
