You have improved in the editing and storytelling. I love the format, feels like having a chat with a knowledgeable old friend. Must be satisfying. Oh and as always love the info!

I like vids like this, showing a realistic upgrade progression with actual logged results. I'm hoping for a part 2, it looks like a Lynx manifold at the start . I have a lynx and would love to see a back to back single dcoe vs twin on the same engine. Keep up the good work.

Interesting video. That,s what we did back in the day as kids. Any old used 2.0 pinto fit a few affordable bolt on parts. Nice to know the actual power figures.

This is quality content mate. Love this low budget tech cheers from across the pond

This is such valuable information, thanks for a great video 👍

Great video. Enjoyed seeing how each mod delivered.

Fantastic videos. I hope your viewers realize the work involved between all these runs

Interesting to see again what is possible with a standard carb! I am busy with the Kent engine over 25 years now and enjoy every of your Kent and Pinto videos, bringing back all the memories of all the good handcrafted "tuning"

I really enjoy your videos. :) Thanks.

Love this. It's like Dave Vizard but on video. Keep it up

I had the holly 390 CFM 4V and a manifold for it. It had a special reverse power valve that leaned on throttle tip-in. That engine has a lot of standoff of the fuel above the carburetor that collapses when you tip the throttle. It also had vacuum secondaries. The secondaires where so smooth to open I had to put a little clip on the activation rod to prove they were actually working.

Good to see the effect each upgrade has step by step. Thanks.

Interesting as I have exactly the same engine that has been sat for 12 year’s waiting for me to get my project Escort finished. Also have the same cam sat in a spare head. Don’t have the 40’s though as I intended to run injection. Guess it would be similar power.

Really enjoyed this testing video. Would really love to see a similar video on a CVH if ever possible 👍.

Cheers.

Very interesting, the carbs weren’t the upgrade I thought they’d be.

Great video I've got in my shed 771 xflow with twin 40s which I've never fitted in my fiesta mk1 love to see what that could do .have you got any video on them ..

I think you may have picked up a few horsepower by not having the fan? Certainly interesting to see, back in the day my brother had a 2000 GXL/E Cortina that had the 4 branch as standard, I think they only used them for a short time. I think his was supposed to be 105hp stock. Your figures with mild mods are not far off from a stock 3 litre V6, sadly as youngsters we used the V6 in everything from Anglias to MK1 and 2 Cortinas and Corsairs. We never really discovered Pintos... (I am very old). Keep up the good work, always interesting.

another beautiful episode, i thank you when you say old dizzy, you have a bosch [orange cap] item, motorcraft [black cap] dizzys were the "old" ones to me, do you have a favourite?

Graham, when you are leaning on this engine 6 or 7 mins in it very much looks like a single side draught on a Lynx crossover manifold but I don't remember you ever reporting on a single cross over set up. Is that a report that we can have please?

From your experience, is there a big gain in power/torque between a stock Mk2 RS2000 exhaust manifold and the Ashley manifold?

Hi Graham, could you give an indication of the bigger jets you fitted to correct the AFR, thanks

Hi, would like to see if you can have fast road engine running on weber 30/34 dfth and compare it to 32/36 and dcoes.

after some help here. i have a 1300 standard xflow that the previous owner fitted a 1300 gt inlet manifold on and a weber DGAV 32/36 . is this too large a carb? do you know what engine that probably would have come off? thanks

Hi can you tell me what size jets you used on the carb

What afr should look for full throttle?

The carb is a 28/36? Stock 2 liter carb is 32/36, correct?

Hello.would a piper ohcbp285 cam make more power than the cam you used on this engine?
