Chadley's pinto makes good power with a standard head on it LOL....
Built by karl...
Scott - 175 is a lot of power for a pinto mate, bottom end is fairly easy....find a 2wd cossie bottom end then needs a good bore - change the pistons and you have a 2.1-2.2 bottom end.
Some jenvy throttle boddies - or i can ask my mate martin to see if he has finished his (own's an engineering firm making these). Then you need a BIG valve head and a race cam...
And a gearbox - think about a t5 or a straight cut option cause the 4 and 5 speed ford box's fitted to mk1/2's are total shit but about 30 quid from the scrappers LOL so horses for courses.
I can give you as much advice as you will need if you tell me what you want...had mk2s for 15 years now in all states
