The Pinto engine is the common name for a four-cylinder overhead-cam engine built by Ford Europe. Ford sales literature called it the EAO or OHC engine, the internal codename was the T88 series, and in North America it was known as the Lima In-Line because it was made in Lima, Ohio. Because it was designed in metric dimensions it was also called the metric engine. It reached the United States in the Ford Pinto subcompact of the 1970s, which gave it its usual name. In Europe it was introduced in 1970 as the first Ford engine with a belt-driven overhead camshaft, replacing the Essex V4, and it was offered in displacements from 1.3 to 2.0 litres. It remains popular in British kit cars and hot rods.
