Mike has found a classic Pinto engine and wants Elvis to turn it into a high-performance masterpiece. He strikes a deal that could potentially double his investment, but will the engine roar to life or leave him stranded?

From Season 1 Episode 5
So a rebuild is some high temp paint painted over the existing and a new gasket installed?
I think every car guy gets that excited when an engine fires up for the first time. Nice job lads.
in this case fake scripted drama for TV ....
That's not a rebuild, that's just a tart up 😮
Not even a really good tart up :D
Not sure how a few gaskets and a paint job is a full rebuild from scratch
almost as silly as the fake scripted "omg it won't start" realityshow drama
Such a fantastic 'rebuild', It's amazing what a bit of paint does
Known as a 2 gallon tune up. (2gallons of paint)
Takes me back worked on many of these engines back in the day..
Great work Elvis 👍👍👍
Do you know how I can get the full episodes in the states?
@@thealgonquin5822 Think it’s available through Discovery+ , but like the UK, it’s probably subscription only. Hope that’s of help
So Elvis gave it a really good look over with his expert eye, and it turned out to be Mint. Cracking find, I love these engines.
🤣
I worked on them for 20 Years 1.6 are good 1.8 die 2.0 very good pulls like a train 2.2 pile of shit. Simple to work on and tune i could strip one down and rebuild in 4 hours with a sit down and coffee or two. These engines are not rare lol.
A coat of paint is a rebuild.......
I have a Morgan Kit Car with a 1600cc pinto in it Bored out to a 1760cc Hepolite pistons and loads of wee go faster bits in but nowadays a 1ltr turbo Skoda Octavia has more power, Still cool as though 😊
Are you sure it's not a cross flow engine?
😯 Wish I pulled mine out when I scrapped cortina for £50 and just put in shed till now
I had this car/engine combo. The EPA required that this engine be detuned for their spec.s . I would shift it when it wouldn't go any faster in that gear. They also had a 1.5 cc engine made by Lister. A way under powered engine even for this size car. Got about 19~ 21 MPG.
Since when were Pintos rare?
They are now !
Since about 10 years ago. And they are getting rarer by the day. I'm currently rebuilding a 2lt that came out of a mk 3 Transit minibus. Not an ideal lump of iron but it's a start.
I've just given £750 for one that won't even turn.And I can remember giving £25 for them back in the day.
In England it might be
Elvis is in the House!
The producer’s idea of a rebuild and my idea of a rebuild, are two different things
In dirt track speedway they use a full race spec 4cyl motor thats based off the pinto. Its called a esslinger. Around 340-360hp
🤣
@@guyflaskett1926 Google esslinger engineering
A xflow is rarer
i paid $3,550 australian dollars - subaru EJ207 - RA STI Spec C - short block from subaru brand new in a cardboard box from japan ! - forged crank and rods nitrited crank x drilled and all balance to 1 gram !
Jesus, you couldn't walk through a scrapyard without tripping over stripped bits of Pinto at one time.
I got three of them in Australia 🇦🇺
maybe a compression test at least, Im sure they did one but not filmed it... Im sure, Oh I am in Australia, I just painted my pinto, with Ford Blue... from a spray can,
I cant believe the price, bought and sold.. in UK terms I paid 1200 Quid and it came with the rest of the escort van, complete.
Oh, I did a compression test too.. all good there
I just have to question the title " ELVIS HAS TO REBUILD"
Easy rebuild, I rebuilt an RS2.1 pinto completely when I was 17
😂 Elvis you can tell you worked for Ron Denis he like everything painted too
Ported and polished? Mmm ok then. Well i guess it’s an old school engine. Motorsport don’t think so. Maybe a road car with a bit more sporty performance. Not sure about that clang when it shut down but fine I guess
2.1 pinto.quaff box, LSD in a mk1 escort. We are going racing. Or more to the point rallying
I’m have a TVR Tuscan, I would love Elvis to breathe on that engine
‘Old art yer ‘aaaandd
I have an engine like that in my transit mk2😂 its fast as f
Nothing rare about a pinto , millions made and still around
The Pinto, probably the most idiot proof and bomb proof engine ever. Great engines.
Get an American 2.3 Lima from a turbo coupe. That’ll make your weird little British car fast. Without having to touch it a turbo coupe motor will make 300 hp. Just add a little extra boost. The whole rest of the world calls them Lima engines. Just because they put them in a pinto doesn’t mean they’re pinto engines.
Is painting an engine something to be proud of Elvis, your a lot better that.
' boat anchor ' engine !
Not it. Basic raw power with no computers or ecus in sight
had a 2 litre pinto in mk1 cortina in oz-was tough as nails. Thrashed it. No worries
This show is such Bullshit. Thats not a rebuild, its a bit of paint and a new gasket. If the Man was genuinely selling it, then obviously being a Ford Man himself he would have known the value of it. I suspect ge was just an actor, just like the rest of them, or he would have painted it himself and got a 1000 more for it. The whole thing is just acting and Brewer is an absolute Bellend.
It's not been the same since the tall man left.
Solid engine but replaced lots of camshafts and oil feed pipe.
A 'rare' engine. Yeah, give it a rest - outside of the crossflow and deriviatives like the valencia, it's probably Fords' most numerous engine - Escort, Cortina, Granada, Sierra, Transit, Capri... and probably more that I haven't listed. Probably had some slight oversize pistons fitted at some point in the past, and has some ancient tired sidedraughts. In no way does that make a motorsport engine. £1700 quid? No chance. WD is absolutely full of it these days.
I love the way he just buys it without even checking if the crankshaft turns or checking the state of the oil 😂
RARE? a pinto isnt rare. theyre 10 a penny. they were fitted to mk1/2 Escorts, mk3,4,5 Cortinas, 4 cylinder Granadas (at least in the mk2 and 3), most 4 cylinder Capris, most Sierras (up to around 1988ish) most Petrol Transit Vans.......
Wrong. Were ten a penny. No longer any of those vehicles you mention in the scrap yards, in fact there haven't been for ten years
Not even got the oval inlet ports 🤦
Hope that paint is blooming high heat resistant. Otherwise, time & $$ are wasted.
Hardly a Rebuild video, just doing a deal and a repaint ....
Even a kid can rebuild a pinto they so simple done many ffs and with twin 45s shud be running electric fuel pump
Sounded Lush mate.
Pinto rare? they are still common as dirt.
What a joke for start pintos weren’t around in the sixties
This show is a joke....
Pinto engine is hardly rare ….
They were such a good engine, there are plenty around
Not any longer
@@richardjackson5380 I can always find one when doing my next project if required. Mainly from other guys into escorts.
I know 1 guy who has 11
Rare for who??????? Ford sells them every day 😂😂😂
