as many of u no i am build a 3dr project here are some pics so far hope u all like will keep it updated every step of the way

 

yes its a gen ford brand new engine

 

very nice

where you get the engine from? bet it wasnt cheap!


Mart

 

well was cheep in my eyes as only paid £1900 for it a steal really

 

That engine is amazing...

 

Thats engine is the bargain of the century!

didn't know ford supply the crate engines with 2wd heads and 4x4 cam covers

 

saw that engine on ebay - its a weird one as it has a YLB designation which I have never come across and seems to be a hybrid of some kind as its mainly 2wd but has an unusual block which has the old pinto fuel pump drive ( down by the pas pump mount) blank like the late 4x4 motorsport blocks.

I think you have yourself a very rare version of the cosworth engine there, possibly meant for a car that was never built. Its not a panther solo one as they did not have Ford on the cam cover

 

thanks for the comment any history or info on this engine will be great as paul says its a hybrid of some kind came direct from daventry and states its a service engine b build

 

Is it on a 205, 200 or 202 block - it was hard to tell from the ebay pics, nice to have a rare engine for your build

 

the crate RS500 engines were the same, they came with the later screw on oil cap and solid vacuum lines

I would love to know what this engine was meant for, I know they did think of fitting them to granadas at one stage, but even cosworth dont list a YLB so its a mystery, all the Ford tags etc are on it so its the real deal

 

its a 200 block 2wd sump and i think 2wd head and late blue top

 

just did a google and here is some more info on the YLB, L stands for long engine apparently, ie no bolt ons

in bits that engines worth well over 4k, cosworth want £2200 just for a new bare head

 

thanks looks like it is what this thread says as it all makes sence at least i now no what it is a how real it is and i well happy what a find and all this info will be great for my build folder thanks mate
