Default Re: 2L pinto difference. early and late model

Years ago a mate had a 78 TE 2L auto & I had 2L man 77 esky, both low kms & believed to be unmodified. His guttless as, mine the exact opposite. Some time latter my car was off the road getting a rebuild & we put my stock head on his stock bottom end after he did a head gasket. By now he had also completed auto to man conversion. Just changing the head made a massive improvement to the performance of the cortina, I believe there were both high compression (escort/man?) & low compression (cortina/auto?). The cams were different numbers, but have no idea of any other differences.
