Just about. You can see the pinto engine is an OHC engine, it has a pressed tin cover over the drive belt/cog at the front that is quite distinctive and is a lot taller than the alternate non-ohc crossflow Kent engine.

Here in Oz, they were fitted to Escorts & Cortinas. In the UK, they were fitted to Escorts, Granadas & I guess quite a few others. Here's a link to a pic of the 2ltr from my nephew's car from a previous thread http://www.fordforums.com.au/attachm...chmentid=12456 It's an injected 205 2ltr, but they are all the same externally. |

The pic of my nephew's engine was from a feature article in Hot 4's. It's a pretty nice Escort. |

They are called Pintos as they were originally designed for the US Ford Pinto. This car was short lived because they kept catching on fire because of a common electrical fault. The 205 block was used in the sierras injection cars and became the basis for the cossie engines. Has a thicker wall and more suited to turbo applications than the standard block. Its all a much of a muchness as I've found the older TC cortina engines hold up better than the later Escort/TE Cortina ones. You'll find the rings go on the older ones, whereas the bearings let go on the later ones....You take your pick.
