Cheers for the info mate.
It was mainly the correct rods, pistons and possibly crank I was after as it would be nice to have the correct internals, and the exhaust manifold would be nice to compliment the rest.
I have contacted the chap on eBay. He says he purchased all of Cosworth’ NOS YC parts recently. He has some nice bits, but a lot of it isn’t really what I’m after. Alrhough he does have the billet coil on plug cover, alloy valve spring retainers and thermostat take off which would be nice.
Any fabrication work isn’t inmportant as I work at AHFabrications as a Motorsport fabricator, it was more to look at how they had done various things more out of interest than anything. My rad is going in the boot.
The engine is going into my Escort so I’m not making some full replica anyway. We’ve just agreed that the correct rods, pistons and crank would be nice to use.
Try and cant the engine back in the bay as it has dry sump.
