HeatherH87 0 Posted September 12, 2015 Hi, I'm going to be selling my 1600 Pinto Engine. It's only done about 42k miles. The carburettor will definitely need a rebuild. The cars been sitting about 20 years before I got it. Still runs but I'm putting Zetec in mine so don't need it. Would anyone be interested in this you reckon?

I was in exactly your position with a 40K mile 1600 engine to get rid of having fitted a 205 Pinto. Tried selling it - no takers; tried giving it away - still no takers. Ended up binning it :thumbdown: So to answer your question, reckon not :icecream: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D-FENS 74 Posted September 21, 2015 Well the add has had 62 views and 1 response .Person who asked about wanted to know what car it came out of and has it got a steel or alloy sump .I dont know how you would know if its steel or alloy but maybe the alloy is non magnetic .If thats the case a magnet would come in handy .If you could let me know i will pass on the message .Where abouts are you based .

CortinaLover1971 29 Posted September 22, 2015 Where are you? I know someone looking for 1600's but he won't pay £75.....more like £45 if it's close enough to collect from Sheffield. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeatherH87 0 Posted September 27, 2015 Sorry guys, bit of a family drama right now occurring, might not be selling. Will let you know, thank you for your replies. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sierra3dr 36 Posted September 27, 2015 I can understand Owners changing from the 1.6 to 2 litre,to gain more power. It maybe know to some,that the 1.6 was given the turbo blow-thru treatment in Scandanavia. I think it was a Ford dealer,back in the 80's that did the conversion. The 1.6 engines in the Cortina were 68,72 or 60 bhp,adding a turbo can add circa 30% bhp. I found info on putting boost through a dgav Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I found info on putting boost through a dgav With a 4-1 exhaust, 32/36 DGAV and Sierra ignition my 1600 clocked up 90bhp on a rolling road. I'm not sure if the previous owner did anything else to it, the power curve has a spike in it between 2500 and 3500 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
