Apparently there is the "Cosworth" block number above the water pump - I have looked and tbh there is not much to view with so much in the way.
Sounds like the Motor Vehicles Dept in WA are trying to make it as difficult as possible for people importing cars into Australia! Someone else was asking on Passionford a while back about any components which may contain asbestos in a Sapphire Cosworth.as that was a problem as well. I used to live in Adelaide and the cops were pretty hot on catching people with " non Standard modifications" on their cars. I had a nice V6 Ford Capri mk1 and I got pulled over and told to change the steering wheel which was smaller than standard and the Alloy wheels as they were wider than the original ones! Got a defect sticker but had some mates who helped me out till the inspection. Changed them back again and never got stopped again luckily!!
