Cossie head bolts straight on but make sure you use new head bolts as the cosworth items are a one use only proposition. Std turbo cams will work if you're planning to run NA. Compression ratio might be an issue if you're chasing NA power, not 100% sure there but at worst you might have to skim a bit off the head.

Biggest setback with these things is the cost of all the bolt on bits and pieces like cams, intakes and headers, the poms charge like wounded bulls for aftermarket gear. Depending on what you're planning, would probably work out cheaper and easier to turbo the pinto.

N/A cossie isnt a simple job.
deffs not cheap either.
you'd be better off just getting a decent cam and carbs for the pinto.
