The Pintos in FF2000 and S2000 are basically just blueprinted, with small carb mods and tubular exhaust, so 130bhp at the flywheel is a reasonable figure. (Having said that, Delta & Alan Morgan know a lot more about them than me...) Gp1 RS2000 spec gves a lot more power.

Thanks Mike, I was offered a 2 litre Pinto out of a Sports 2000 a year or so ago, to go in my Escort (it has a 1600 8v Vauxhall lump at the moment!), and was told that it made 180. It was a good price and I wish I had bought it, but no spare cash at the time.
Either it didn't have that or it was none compliant, but results didn't suggest that the car it came out of was a rocket ship!
Would still like a decent Pinto one day.
