heres a few videos on youtube of my 68 cortina i just built.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCagqnH ... tKQLeBv6CQ
it has a 2.0 ohc pinto engine and a t9 trans with a 3.9 rear end.
the engine was rebuilt using nos mahle pistons with 9.5:1 compression.i used a burton fast road cam. i was lucky enough to find a actual factory capri header. for carburation i stuck with the stock carb and jetted it to suit the more powerful engine. im pretty happy with it. not tons of bottom end power but it flys when you get moving and it cruises very nicely at about 80mph on the highway.
i built this car with highway travel in mind. i am moving to oregon in about two months and will drive it there. i plan on doing several trips from oregon. i will surely be getting my passport so i can visit you vancouver guys. i hope to drive it up to alaska next summer!
