pinto rebuild help required
my younger brother has been given a 2.0 pinto efi in bits from my older brother and ive been sticking it together for him, im starting to get to bits that im unsure of now since it wasnt me who took it apart
from these pics you can see that the flywheel sits miles away from the block, is this right? or should there be something inbetween?

Try offering the starter motor up to the block to see where it would engage. Decades ago I used to build f/road and rally pinto engines for racers, but I cant remember for the life of me if the f/wheel should sit like that.

The "dust" guard serves more purpose than that, it also stops any fidgeting and eating of the alloy bell housing from the iron block, as well as stopping dirt ingress etc.

Unless it's got an aftermarket bellhousing on it, then the bellhousing (on a normal T9 at least) will be cast iron.

we have an injection distributor to go in but as im looking at it im wondering, does it matter about aligning it properly or do i just whack it in then worry about that later when timimg the car up.
what i mean is when im sticking the distributor in does it have to be facing a certain way or do i have to line anything up etc... or is all that done after its in

has that got a mechanical fuel pump as i know my efi in my capri is running on the 2.8i pump and as yours is a efi it'll need a electric pump so u mite as well blank that off. just remeber to not put the distributor a 180 degrees out or you'll never time it up apart from that i can't think of any other problems
