Been a busy few weeks with work and bubs, but finally got a few hours today.
 
It's alive
 

 
 

That's wicked Shaun
 
very jealous 

ooooooooooooo yes, so much win in one post.
 
when will it be in and running???
 
cant wait to hear this thing

Thanks Guys,
 
Zac, it is running, but very rich.  Will have to pull a lot of fuel out as the map I have clearly aren't for the 550cc injectors I have in it now. 
 
I'm also realising that sooner rather than later, I'm going to have to upgrade the ECU. I haven't managed to find anyone in VIC that is willing to play with it yet :(  So it looks like I'm going to have to do my best with the wideband, finetuning it myself until I can bribe someone to get it on their dyno. Even rang EMS to find that the temp and water senders are no longer available, which makes tuning even more of a challenge.
 
Once the weather improves (as I dont have a shed!) I'll pull the old engine, trim the crossmember to suit the cossie sump, and drop it in.

Hey Shaun, great work bud.....in regards to tuning look up Racetech in dandenong, good mate of mine and great tuner......not the type to blow motors.....

Cheers,
 
Ez.
 

love its mate,, post a vid of it running...
 
good to see someone sticking with the pinto, 

Haven't done a great deal on the escort of late. Probably why this thread was buried down in the pages.
Managed to lunch the engine in the escort. I stupidly missed replacing the hex drive in the dizzy, therfore no oil pump, very ugly outcome. Anyway, means I've had to bulid the new bottom end sooner than i'd like.

In the mean time, I've managed to buy a new place that has actually has a shed, so everything is on hold until we move. Been packing things in boxes and have needed to put the corty back together after 18 years!!!! Suprisingly most of the bits are still around.

Here are some pics of the pieces for the new bottom end and custom inlet manifold. Will all be on hold until I move in late July.

Hey there Shaun, that's a great pair of matching Fords, puts a big smile on an old dogs face....
They should boost the real estate values in they're new shed...
Happy moving Drew............

Hey Shaun. If you're still persisting with the EMS i have an air temp sensor and possibly a water one too.
 
Good luck with the move to the new shed, gotta love that!

Cam, if you have them that would be great.

Yep, wont know myself with a shed. 16x6 mts. Have to beat working under the carport!

I have PM'd you re the sensors.

Thanks, Shaun
