Red was RS500,3dr,and all non cat equipped sapphires, green is for sapphires WITH cat and blue is for the Large Turbo Escort Cossie.

the YBP cam cover is different and should be silver lol

most have been swapped and painted over the years anyhow

The YB, thats the engine fitted to all cosworths except the small turbo escort?

Besides the turbo is there any differences between the YB and the later YBP?
