Not alot of effort went into tuning these as they were expensive and heavy to tune, So people stayed with the pinto.
You need a forklift truck to lift up the flywheel on these lol, they are foooooking huge.
The closest match for these engines is obviously the rs2000.
I never learnt the differences between them though i think it was higher comporession and slightly better flowed head. i went pinto in the end.
I know mate, we had it delivered on a crate and took 4 of us to move the engine to the engine lift!!
The thing i was getting to, is, we want to ditch the standard injection system, and run carbs, as we dont have much in the way of a loom. My main concern is finding a suitable manifold to run carbs
