a pinto is too long tall and heavy, but do make good power if built right, the zetec se is a great engine, but under powered and unless you transplant a later box with it, doesnt mate to the normal fiesta bc gearbox, 1.6 cvh is a nice torquey motor, for 5 minutes then its knackered.
Usual route is rebuild the xflow, keep it as intended, or stick a 2 litre zetec e in it, as very simple to do and 160bhp with a pair of carbs on it, easily enough in a mk1/2 fiesta.

oh and easy way to tell if its a 1.3 or not, is look above the water pump, the head will be right above it if its a 1.3, but there will be an inch of block between the pump and the head if its a 1.6
Superstar i'll have a look at that and see which it is

I put the seat in but as the old seat was base mounted and this one is side mounted it is far too high up and my head is basically touching the roll cage. Rexy has said he will cut out the seat mounts and reweld them about 3-4 inches lower.
Sorry for the bad picture it was on my phone. I think i should start a proper progress thread for this.

Last I checked, you'll struggle to fit a pinto into a stock fiesta floorpan............... Engine wise, for me, it'd be a big capacity crossflow with all the bells and whistles (v.expensive though), or a zetec conversion(better vfm, pick whichever engine suits you're budget).

struggle to get 170+ on standrad cams imo.. ive never seen one above 155 on standard internals :S

1.8 silver tops usualy make around the 155 mark, a 2 litre black top with a good long primary exhaust manifold will make 170, the main problem being the standard cams are pathetic, the heads flow enough for over 200, and the bottom ends are safe to 8k, get some nice lumpy sticks in there and your laughing.
Not trying to say the zetec is the best engine out there, cus it isnt, but bhp per pound and ease of fitment makes it the obvious choice if moving away from the xflow.

Glad you approve of it! It should be at some meets soon if all goes well.

I've just ordered a set of 50mm lowering springs and started to spray the wheels black as they look a bit of a mess at the minute. I've been driving it this weekend and other than a few small niggles it runs well. I think the plan soon is to get a 2.0l zetec fitted to it as although it is fun 60bhp just does not cut it.
