Re: 1975 cosworth vega

How can you not know the Cosworth Vega?

It is a 2000cc i4 DOHC engine. What's amazing about this motor is that it is fuel-injected. Like all motors built by Cosworth, it is bullet proof and has a very aggressive mid-range powerband.

wow
U know yr rides well,

BTW Mr shyneman, i took my hats off, saluting your expertise

Different in europe. Ford Cosworth DOHC Turbo. Typically found in a Ford Sierra. Not bullet proof.

Great Work Frank. A big project. It's a shame about all the rust spots. It's going to be nice to see the outcome.

.... Like all motors built by Cosworth, it is bullet proof and has a very aggressive mid-range powerband.

Unfortunately, only the head was a Cosworth design. The Block was GM.

Rather than being designed to hold up to the abuses racing, like say a DFV block, it was designed to be mass-produced cheap.

Hi-po, built-up Vega motors were renowned for blowing apart bottom ends. Docile street motors were renowned for burning oil, blow-by, leaking, ...

Back from MAACO

A lot of dirt,A lot of peel But they put plenty on, and for $ 259.00 the price was right. Nothing a shave and a hair cut can't fix.





















still a few issues on the lift gate but we can live with them.
