RS Motorsport :: Classic Speed Restored

Gday all,

In the search for pinto nirvana I have found myself looking at the northern European web sites. Some of the Finn's are claiming mega power (250HP) from their engines.
Is it all bovine poo or could it be true? I think it has been touched on before on here, but its in another thread that I cant locate.

How do they do it?

I think you will find that there are not many "Pinto" bits left. More than likely using alloy heads

I am told, as u say, not much pinto left.
Due to the rules over there, they literally scoop out all the insides of the pinto block and rebuild it with much more ccs etc. No costs spared etc.
