Just wondering what exactly the engines in these were? A pinto with a warrior head? Pics and info appreciated

 

Pinto 205 block with warrior twincam head made by Conhaught.
This one is a 2.4 just come back from them been put on fuel injection and drysumped tony law mainfold DTA and they dyno it 301 bhp.

 

Awesome

Cany you still buy these heads new? They've been around since the 70s right?

 

Awesome

 

thats gorgeous

 

yes as far as i know, guy down the road from me had his warrior rebuilt a couple of months ago by Conhaught, so they are def still going, so id say the heads are still available too

 

I always thought these were a cossie head lol.

 

Wow, stunning!

Got any more pics of the whole car?

 

Yes mate u can from conhaught big money tho think they still do the holbay rocker covers for them aswell instead of it saying warrior.

 

Thanks for the info guys - Always knew these engines existed, but never actually knew 100% what they were lol

 

 

Fucking hell mate, thats just truely awesome, I cant get over what an amazing car that is, from the engine bay it looked like it might not get used, but thats like the perfect hillclimb car and a concours car all rolled into one.

Truely truely amazing!

You must have 6 figures invested in that!

And worth every penny, if I ever win the lottery Im going to pay someone to steal it cause Im sure you wont be selling it

 

Incar for u.

Sweet! how wide are them rear wheels?

 

hi paul,i built one about 18 years ago ,the head then was Ł2500 on its own,went well

 

thats nice...............

 

I'm going to make a bold statement here and say that's honestly the best looking mk2 escort I've ever seen.

That is all!!

 

9x15 fronts 10x15 rears.

 

Takes off like a cut cat and surprisingly doesnt actually appear too much of a handful, that really is awesome.
Looked like you were really starting to get to grips with that hill on the second run as well.

Really really jealous, as fords go, that genuinely is living the dream!
