Can you still get the Warrior twin-cam 16v head conversions - they were the dogs whatsits when I was playing around with pintos. Theorectically you should be able to get a Cosworth 16v head to fit, but I don't think it's a straight forward bolt on jobbie like the Warrior.

You should be able to do that in a week and a half without a garage - IF you can find one.

Ok, so it turns out the rocker arm retaining springs are near impossible to come by, so if anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated. Have sourced a Cam and rockers, so thats all I'm waiting on.

They look like this:

Haha, that might have to do. Currently the broken clip has been replaced with a cable tie.

Will definitely consider the Warrior head in the future, I have been promised $10k if I can get 300hp out of the pinto, and have it last 5000kms haha biggrin.gif
