anyone know cosworths
« on: 02 June 2012, 15:44 »
I have found a cosworth engine, the story behind it is it was in a university brand new then went to a musseum. It was picked up by my friends uncle, it's been started and stuff but all we know is that it's 24v v6 with a cosworth Scorpio bottom, I have some numbers which I have coscast 1101bd , mb0003 , v80061/5 . Any help on this would be nice I am gonna ring cosworth during the week to see if they can help as well

RSOC is very clicky so I doubt you'd get an answer, especially being a n00b.

PF is your best bet :afro:
