Good torque for a pinto. Nice spread of power for an engine at that level. It will be interesting to see what the next itteration of this does, when it rides the dyno next time ! ❤
200 psi on cold engine is pretty darn high for road use. At what fuel octane you run? I know Shell V power bought in Germany can handle it. The torque curve is what interests me. For a good reliable street engine wich goes many happy miles, a close to 170-190 pound/foot would be imagenable. With loss of peak power you would'nt not have doubts in traffic anyway, and on the interstate for miles more peassure.Clutch/gearbox assembly is another story. I guess a healthy 2000CC OHC Pinto 140 hp with bunch of torque makes more fun in an Escort mk1 or 2 then a 200 hp overkill engine anyway on todays roads. I know more power is what we search for, i know, but then ya know.......... 😉 Get those video's coming on old school mate.. Thank you!
It’s run on 99 octane, this engine has never been near a road, it’s pure race track use only although it’s got enough torque to make it easily road usable, torque wise it’s not far off most of the 3.5 v8 rovers I run
Who manufactured that dry sump oil pump?? .... also, for what its worth I have a 2.oL core short block for sale from a 1971 Pinto. Would like to see it go to a good home.
6500 should be very safe on stock rods and bolts. The amount of power the rod is subjected to has no influence on its rpm capability. Think of it this way. Adding power COMPRESSES the rod more. Over power the rod, and the beam of the rod bends. ( This makes the rod significantly shorter, so the next rotation of the crank, the piston hits the counterweights, and it ejects everything out the side of the block. ) Adding RPM STRECHES the connecting rod. Too much power, and either the rod bolts snap, or the rod breaks at the weakest point. (Usually, just below the little end, leaving a nice long bit of rod flailing about smashing its way through everything. ) Personally, I would rate Pinto rods at about 220-230 HP, ( although it's more about the peak torque) And I would happily run them to 6500. I know people who have gone much further, but I also know that past 200 bhp and 7k, people break a lot of shit.
@@iainball2023 yeah ok mate cool ill stay at 6500 its just a daily anyway ive heard its hard work finding better rods like cozzie etc fair bit of machining carnt just buy um off the shelf ,,,,, or can ya
I Rev standard rods to 6800 all day long, in fact in boosted applications a rod should stand more rpm as there is always some pressure pressing down on it ( rods break in tension) what boost will do if you overdo too much low down is bend!
Thanks for the interesting video.
I look forward to seeing what is next.

That has a flat torque curve for a race engine. It sounded great. Looking forward to more.
Looks nicely bedded in 👍🏻
Another great video! Proper old school not like barum engines!
great vid
Yesterday noise from Nicks Garage today noise from Graham 😀
is one of the plugs "steam cleaned"

The dry sump system was origonally on an engine I built nearly 20 years ago now, from memory it was a pace system.
hey bud ive got turbo pinto dynoed at 200 hp at 5000 rpm forged pistons but standard rods wat can the standard rods take been told 6500

What throttle boddies are you using and is it a 2.3?
