The Pinto engine was overhead cam. that looks like an ealy Kent engine

A friend had an early Pinto with the 1.6 Kent engine, it got great mileage with a manual transmission at least until he totaled it. Most Pintos did come with the 2.0 ohc engine which quickly superseded the Kent which didn't work well in a heavy Pinto with an automatic transmission.

That sure looks like a TriumphTR2/TR3 engine to me, with, obviously, a different intake manifold for the carb.

Lucca's photo sure looks like a (blue painted) TR3 engine to me.

The triumph Standard 10 had a single carb arrangement like that. But I think the dizzy was different ?

Tr2 , weird manifold, odd plumbing, MG cap on the dizzy. What was it in??
Mad dog

I suspect it's a Standard Vanguard engine.
