It looks well mate. I bet it goes ok to. So are these cosworth V6 engines any good then cause alot of people seem to be using them.

cossie04

They are excellent engines for the price you pay for it, and are just over 200bhp powerwise and better fuel consumption than a 12v, but in genaral good engines.

24vcossiemat

well done mate, i'd love a sierra cossy lookalike with the boa 24v engine, I have it in my granada but the car is to good to break, however I would like to do a manual conversion on it. i've heard ya get better mpg, and there quicker

iTrader: (1)

No need about 2 days work

going to batter on now with it

PileOfRust

how much power can the mt-75's handle? my dad has a 24v in a capri 2.8i special with the type 9 and its abit crap.... mt-75 worth getting? would they handle 300hp if he done a single turbo conversion? ta

capri280

iTrader: (1)

MT75 alot stronger than Type 9 300bhp shouldnt be a problem

Also could go T5 but a v6 bell housing from burton power

Jim Galbally

the mt75 is the same box as the cossie one internally. should do fine at 300hp
