given that the production spans some 20 years and two different engine families, then yes they probably are different sizes.

Actuallythe Pinto engine, ie the 2litre engine bolts up ok to the std engine mounts of a 1300 Escort which of course ran the kent motor, the same basic block as the mk1 cortina, so there is a very good chance that the pinto will bolt up ok in a mk1 Cortina. You may have to change the actual mounts to Pinto ones, but it SHOULD all bolt up ok. Not so sure on the gearbox mount though.

Possibly watch for different sized spigot bearings, that was pretty much the only thing different on some of the early Kent engines.

all blocks have a universal mount casting from 105e to mk 5 cortina ie all the straight 4 ,s
