Compression Ratio of Ford Pinto
The compression ratio of the Ford Pinto engine varied depending on the specific model and variant. The 1.6 L (1,598 cc) engine, for example, had a compression ratio of 10.5:1. Additionally, the 2.8-liter V-6 engine used in the Ford Pinto had an 8.0:1 compression ratio.
It’s important to note that the compression ratio can differ based on the specific engine displacement and model year, so it’s always best to refer to the specific technical specifications for the exact compression ratio of a particular Ford Pinto model.

Is the Ford Pinto a good engine?
As I said, the 2.0 liter OHC four is the desirable Pinto engine, but only if it’s mated to the four speed manual. German designed and built, the engine provided a good power to weight ratio, smooth power delivery, and a fat torque band.
What is the difference between a Pinto and a Lima engine?
It looks like a Pinto, with it’s inline 4cyl 8 valve setup and iron block and head, but the Lima is, aside from de-stroked race engines late small bore versions, 2.3ltr, 0.3ltr more than the biggest production Pinto, which is a bonus for tuning from the outset.

New for ’74 was the 2.3-liter version of the Ford Europe-designed Lima engine, rated at 86 horsepower.
What is the compression ratio of a 2.0 Pinto?
Standard (high compression) variant (TL20H)
Although Ford marked its standard 2.0 L engine as HC, it actually uses engine codes meant for the ‘increased performance variant’ engines (coding starting with ‘NE’), these have a compression ratio of to 9.2:1.

Are Pinto engines good?
Pinto is a good engine, as said above. I would shorten and widen the sump (widen to retain the oil capacity). Look on the web, or search on here, there are enough examples about to get the idea.
What went wrong with Ford Pinto?
The Pinto, a subcompact car made by Ford Motor Company, became infamous in the 1970s for bursting into flames if its gas tank was ruptured in a collision. The lawsuits brought by injured people and their survivors uncovered how the company rushed the Pinto through production and onto the market.
