i
ive been shopping! another pinto, this ones a bit serious though. its going in a race car, so sorry im not going to give everything away.
its mainly a conventional build, although there are a few twists and the odd tweek that i defiantly wont be posting.
the brief i have given myself is powerfull and as bullet proof as possible within my budget, its a pretty healthy budget, but none the less there is a budget..
in the name of power without having to rev the arse of it im going large, 2337cc to be precise.
thats 93x86, yes i could of gone bigger in capacity, but thats part of the safe aspect, not to push the envelope, and why ive not gone for 94mm bore or an 88mm crank.
despite a the long stroke im keen it still revs, so have some low compression height pistons intended for 136mm rods on a std crank. obviously with the 86mm crank the long rods would shove the pistons way out the top of the block, so im having a set of rods made to suit, the very short pistons will give me a healthy rod length of 131.5mm quite a bit up from a std pinto rod which is 127
