Obviously, 200 and 205, are there any others that are suitable off a run off the mill sierra ?

If so, would there be a benefit in running a cossie head, I think you can get close to 200bhp without a turbo ?

 

any pinto block will be fine,you will need to use proper forged intruder pistons and have a lot of head work done,

 

Thanks pete, excuse my ignorance, but which sierra models had a pinto block, or if easier, which didn't

Obviously, XR4x4 and XR4i didn't

 

there all classed as pintos or OHC mate even the 1600

 

from teh very first pinto powdered cortinas to the transit van there all the same

 

So could you put a cossie head on the engine from a 2.0 dohc sierra? e.g. the GLSi? Was that pinto bottom end too?

cheers

 

Or a GT

 

All GT Sierra's are DOHC tho.

 

glsi 2.0 dohc is the i4 engine very different. 1800 sierra is a crapo cvh. Get a new transit 202 block or just a a good 205 block from alater sierra or tranny. You will need to change pistons and skim head to raise compression. Will need to open up the ports a lot. Will need new cams and manual followers. Then fueling to look at twin 45`s min.

 

and some XR4is are DOHC too

more engines in sierras than JUST pintos :P

 

Thanks for all the answers guys
