Default Pinto Mods

Gday Everyone,

I have a MK1 2door escort that is have recently put a standard 2l pinto into. I was wondering what kind of power people have been generating for what cost? I have a cam kit with a mild cam and double valve springs to go in my other motor. I have heard that the spray bar is the weak point at high rpm, is there any way around this?

Also looking for some small parts like an indicator stalk with the auto return ring and headlight switch?

Thanks
Scott

I have 126 rwhp for a sum of $10,000+.

EASY WAY TO GET AROUND THE SPRAY BAR OPTION IS TO GET A RIFLED CAM, WHERE THE OIL SPRAYS OUT OF THE CAM WHICH NEGATES THE SPRAY BAR...
