hi m8t 4x4 heads are better but it all depends on what spek engine your bilding? Ive seen some manuals on ebay for sale, best 2 just look around youle find one, Why not bye a complete engine from some where like ebay problem solved and ship it over.

thanks for the info, i have looked for a manual and cant find what im looking for, here in the us we have oem shop manuals that tell u every littel bolt size. but i cant find that for a sierra cosworth, and i have a 2.3 pinto block that should work but no heads, and the cost to order the heads new is about 1200 in us dollars thats a lot for me so i can only gusess how much a fully engine will cost.

Depending what Pinto bottom end you have Ebledden a cossy head might not fit as the European pinto and the US pinto block are very different so ight be worth just buying a standard head gasket or see if someone off here has a good 2nd hand one you can use as a guide.
