November 24, 20205 yr Personally I would not trust a "GOOD" used cam, They are not too expensive to buy. I bought mine from Brands Hatch. Fast road cam, follower and spray bar. Delivered for £225 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Escort-RS2000-Cortina-2-0-Pinto-BHP30-Fast-Road-Camshaft-Kit-ChillCast/122345481226?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
November 24, 20205 yr I think you'll find that the BHP 30 camshaft in the eBay link is a high torque cam, not a fast road one. It looks very similar spec. to the Kent FR30. I had a look at BHP cams a year or 3 ago, mainly because of their pricing, but their figures didn't add up for the fast road cam I was considering. When I contacted them they were going to send me a corrected datasheet but it never arrived and the published data never changed so I steered clear. Having said that, I don't think they list that cam any more. Anyway I eventually ended up with a Kent FR32.
November 25, 20205 yr Personally I don't think it is worth the money to build a mildly tuned pinto, you are better off putting that money to either a different engine or, a more ambitious pinto build.
