Pinto 'race' spec pistons

Hi all,

ive been going through all my bits and bobs i have kicking about in the shed to put together a good strong 2.0lt pinto motor for my rally car or my mk1 cortina i might use for track days etc.. so far i have all the bits i need apart from 1 or pssibly 2 things.

1: Pistons.. i have oodles of old cast pistons hanging around but there all basically scrap, so im looking for a set or good used or new cast or forged pistons that are oversized to suit a pinto.. brand is not a worry just as long as there in good nick

2: (possibly) Rods.. i have a set of polished and balanced standard rods i can use but if set of the injected rods was out there for the right price id love to get a set

if you have either, or both id love to hear from you!

either repy here or email me at mattsjames@yahoo.com.au

cheers & thanks for looking
Matty

    i have a set of secondhand TRW Forged pistons, that i think are .040" over, and a set of 205 Injection rods.
    i had the intention of rebuilding one of my 3 spare pintos, but im getting lazy, and am unemployed..
    still not 100% sure if i want to sell, but i cant see myself doing anything with them in the near future..
