I can't be too specific with any of it as i just don't know mate sorry!
I took the clutch off today and it is deffo a pinto crank as i suspected as has only 6 bolts from flywheel to crank. I do know that it pulled really well and loved revs and had no knocking, smoking or rattles!
The guy i bought the car from told me it was rolling roaded at 167hp at the wheels which is probably around 190-200 at the flywheel but as the gearing was sooo low i don't know how accurate that is???
Without removing the exhaust manifold i can't see what porting work has been done and without removing the cam cover i have no idea what cams it has?
All i know is that this engine is sat in my garage in the way and if it is still here by the weekend it will go on Ebay to the highest bidder
Cheers Spadge...
