Are you saying that I should try to get a 1600 cam and that should make it better, That's if the cam is totally different ...the one that's in that is..
No what im saying is that transit engines had 1600 cams to start with, good for low down torque but gutless up top
What you need is a fast road or high torque cam for a 2 liter pinto
What year transit did your engine come from had it injection fitted when you got it? i wouldn't read to much into block stampings
AV AW AX are all just transit blocks from what i could find
