What's a Pinto? Is that like a Cortina? Fark, if it is, I'm selling it and buying a Harley! (with a big bore kit, JMR heads, NOS and a Blower to make up the BHP and torque difference.................)

Bill/BentON Racing · « **Reply #208 on:** September 17, 2009, 06:43:37 PM »

Hell no,I had a British Ford Cortina,it would scoot,Pinto both slow and an explosion waiting to happen,had a friend get rear ended,he survived but never looked the same.Wow brought back good and not so good memories.Bill

Sam...would you sticky this topic? 3 blocks are 1/2 complete. He cuts all the material for the top and flips them to almost finish the work. A couple of extra steps after the top/bottom work. I am making 6 blocks this run. I will post the price with the finish honing and plating work. I cannot do the block and finish it( final hone /plating) for 1,200.00 BUT I'll basically be giving the final honing and plating to folks at 10% over my cost plus actual shipping (probably another 395.00 or so). An unfinished block will be 1,200.00....maybe a bit less for the first batch as I don't have to package them twice for plating, ship them twice etc. This cylinder are very, very nice even 1/2 finished. Whoever buys one will love it I guarantee. I will be building what I call the "Ultimate NA 750". I will document with pics the entire build and I'm going to try contacting that guy Mitch Bohem (?) to see if he would be interested in a magazine article for that retro mag. If not him some other mag. Mec should also be included for his unbelieveable Egli build.

He really needs one of these blocks too....the ultimate.

No Blue....I haven't been over to the shop in weeks as I'm stacked with work. The last thing I saw were 3 blocks with the upper half machined. The top half is done than it is flipped and the bottom half completed. There is finish work on top after that....it takes a while. My friend is making 6 blocks. I'll call him a day or 2.

MRieck · « **Reply #220 on:** October 09, 2009, 06:07:47 AM »

OK...the top half of all 6 are complete. He is starting on the bottom halves. My buddy had eye surgery about 7 days ago so he has been down waiting for his new eyeglass prescription to come in. After the bottom is done the cam chain tensioner hole has to be machined and some other bits.
I WILL BE MAKING THE BORE SIZE FOR THE 1000cc PISTONS UNLESS INSTRUCTED OTHERWISE. I WILL NEED A DEPOSIT OF 500.00 TO BORE FOR THE 70mm (970cc) PISTONS. I will be contacting Jay for a skirt dimension to prepare the cylinder for Millenniums plating. If you want the initial machined bore (about 62mm) to finish yourself I will also need a 500.00 deposit. I cannot iring the block for unfinished bores.
We have decided that a copper head gasket will be the best choice for the cylinder block. There are several reasons one being the Cometic CFM head gasket for the 1000cc kit isn't very accurately cut. The 4 bolt holes on the top are off by .015 or so etc. I will have head gaskets laser cut from the block CAD with one of the big reasons being overall accuracy plus the right size holes for the oil drain back orings. The piston bore oring will be moved out from the top of the bore to prevent any upper bore distortion that could be caused by it sitting to close to the opening (this isn't a concern with cast iron sleeves).
So...that's pretty much the scoop. My only other concern is possible ringing from the cylinder fins secondary to their length. I'll be discussing this with my friend in the near future. If anybody has any suggestions please let me know...it will be appreciated.
Mike

Sounds good Mike, mine is the 1000cc bore thanks mate,and the copper head gasket sounds great. I am really happy this is taking some time because when i ordered this block our dollar was around 76 cents US, its now in the nineties,almost a 20% discount.....

Mike, would the rubber insulators that were fitted between the fins address this concern?

I was thinking that Mick but those are seated in holes drilled (or cast) into the fins. I'm thinking of the dampners from the old 4 valve GS1000's or something similiar....something the slips on the fins. Between all of us here I'm sure we'll figure out something.

DAMPNERS ? DAMPNERS ? We don't need no stinking dampners !!
