Yes its a superb engine, however for the cost of a huge spec pinto you coudl have a even better lighter duratec in there.
It depends how far you want to go with it and how much you have to spend tbh
Guy who builds my engines just built one that gave 200lb ft and its still a 2 litre due to regs. (on Track and Roads r/r too)
You can't beat the sound of a screaming pinto, I just couldn't stomach the fuel bill so I sold my old one
