2 litre pinto engine

[mini-mad-nick]

right bought this pinto off my mate to go into one of my cars but ive changed my plans for them both and going different direction now.

so here we have what I was told to be a 2.2 pinto, was in my mates mk3 cortina and he didnt have much information on it. it was running when taken out of the mk3 but I have since taken the head off, clutch off and used the distributor on mine. unknown mileage but bores look resonable










and a rough measurement of the bore



I'm in oxford, collection only and looking for offers around £300

[mini-mad-nick]

Bump, price reduced to £280 as I need it gone, pm me with offers as well, you may be suprised

[killerbee]

[mini-mad-nick]

[mini-mad-nick]

[mark1]

[mini-mad-nick]

looks like standard bore size for a 2litre pinto mate :)pity, a 2.1 for £280 would be a deal :@)

[mini-mad-nick]

Fair enough, what roughly is it worth then? I'm looking for about £200 so I can buy my new setup.

In all honesty not a deal! I've got something similar (But a dam sight cleaner) that's been sat at the back of my garage for ages and I'm struggling to give it away.

I would say thats worth £100 tops .Says a lot really that you want a load of money for it because you want to buy something else , rather than selling it for what its worth . '2.1 ,2.2 ETC' complete rubbish like your 'racing' brakes ' Just being dishonest and trying to rip people off .

[mini-mad-nick]

Look if you don't have anything good to say, keep it to yourself mate. I honestly don't know what it's worth hence I asked, no need to start going off on one. Again the brakes, I don't know what there worth, so start high and come down, ent trying to rip anyone off thank you

Whats it worth? - It looks very much like a well worn 70's stock 2.0L leaded fuel Pinto possibly worth something to someone who has stuffed a rod through the block of stock 2.0l and does not want to upgrade to a 205 but they have the choice of hundreds.

Generally people weigh them in for scrap in that condition.

The alloy alternator bracket is worth about £8 if you cleaned it up a bit.

pinto engines are worth more than your giving them credit for try buyingone online

[grumpy]

Better one on auction site for £100 buy it now .

People talk rubbish,with things like "if its not a 205 block its worthless blah blah",,a good 2litre ohc (200 or later 205 block) with alternator,carb or fuel injection etc is worth £100-£150 all day every day.As was mentioned,going by the blue rockercover,its a british pinto as found in early capris and cortinas,the cologne built ones had black a rockercover and brown dizzy cap. If the bores are good,its worth that.Hope that helps mate.
A 2.1 is worth more and a 2.2,is worth ALOT,as its race spec and big bucks to build.

If u get stuck and want it out the way ill give you £60 for it as a spare for the race car

[mini-mad-nick]

I'd let it go for £100
