How to Power Tune Ford SOHC 'Pinto' and Sierra Cosworth DOHC Engines - For Road and Track (Veloce SpeedPro)
This book provides expert, practical advice from a seasoned race engine builder on how to create a high-performance version of Ford's naturally aspirated Pinto 4-cylinder engine (1600, 1800, and 2000 cc). This engine has been used in popular Ford models such as the Escort, Capri, Cortina, and Sierra, as well as the Ford/Mercury Capri, Pinto, and Bobcat in the USA.
Des Hammill offers clear, non-technical instructions on building a reliable, high-power engine, using as many stock parts as possible and avoiding unnecessary spending on ineffective parts and modifications. The book also covers the Cosworth versions of the Pinto engine and the process of fitting Cosworth heads to Pinto blocks.
Note: The book does not include information on the 1300, E-Max 1600, or the American-built 2300 engines.
