I have a friend who would like to fit a 2.0L Pinto into a Triumph Spitfire (i think he said). Does anyone know what a Pinto weighs either with or without accessories so he can work out if it is a viable option? 
 
Cheers, 
Craig.

100/115kg ... doesn't matter the weight as it's thousand times better than the Triumph chunk lol !
I looked up a spitfire and he might have hight problems with the bonnet. . Maybe.

Thanks Marty. I just couldn't find any info about the weight anywhere! The car has the original 1500 but also came with a 1600 Kent. The guy who now owns it had an RS2000 back in the day so is wanting to fit a Pinto.
 
The car at the moment is a chassis, so if they are going to fit the Pinto, best to sort it before the chassis get blasted / powder coated etc. Searching on the net I found one with a Zetec conversion so I guess that is another option as the type 9 will bolt straight to that too.

is F*&^'n heaps specific enough for you Craig?

That would be fine Gareth. Is that the official weight from the Club records. 
I have several pintos lying around but no means to weigh them. Thought someone might have weighed one to send via courier etc.
 
I found it interesting that all the specs in manuals list everything except weight. Cheers for the help.

I came across this site a while back. It lists weights for both engines and gearboxes, and dimensions for engines.

Very interesting site, thanks for that Jamie. I will pass it on.

You were right Marty. The pinto is too big for the Triumph. He is going with the 1600 he already has. Just needs to find a rebuildable cylinder head. Anyone got one?
