Jesse C. Posted May 24, 2015 Report Share Posted May 24, 2015 I helped finish this yesterday. Boss 302 racing block bored out to 331 and filled full of Crower parts. Going into a '63 Drag Ranchero 7 Quote Link to comment
paradime Posted May 25, 2015 Report Share Posted May 25, 2015 Doesn't this look like a flip flopped SR20? This thing would drop into a LHD 510 like a champ. YB engine was used in the Escort RS Cosworth. The all-singing, all-dancing Sierra RS500, with the Garrett AiResearch T35 it produced 550 hp in full racing trim. 10,000 RPM all day, Oh fucking drool. 4 Quote Link to comment

I am building one with this engine currently, and as you say it's a good fit, with rear drop sump which needs some modification. Quote Link to comment

Oh my cup runneth over. For god sake man, tell me you're starting a build thread here on Ratsun. I see what you mean by modification to the pan now. Where in the HELL did you find that beast? From what I understand, there were only 500 made, and I would imagine a large number of those were beat up on the track. What's the story here? Quote Link to comment

When I get it up and running I will upload some pictures for anyone interested. I understand that this engine is rare in North America, but over here (England) there is still good parts supply and aftermarket support. I had this engine and gearbox in another vehicle previously. The original L.20 will probably end up in my 74 620, so won't go to waste. Regarding the Cosworth engine, as you say, there were only 500-odd RS 500 Cosworth Sierras made (which were homologation specials modified by Aston Martin for saloon car racing), but in addition they also made 5,000 more 'standard' 3-doors, and many more 4-doors from which my engine came. They all suffered a high attrition rate due to theft and crashes.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Sierra_RS_Cosworth Thanks for the interest : )) Quote Link to comment

I'm sure I couldn't afford to import one though. :no: Quote Link to comment

No over plug coil packs, etc. Thanks for the redirect on that. I know so little about the UK/European hardware. Normally I try to avoid looking at what you guys get, because it makes me so damned depressed we don't get it here in NorAm. Please update your progress with this build. I am a huge 510 nut, and of all the domestics, I am a Ford man. Therefore I find the combination of Cosworth and 510 absolutely irresistible. I built an sr20 510 a few years back, but if I had the choice, I'd have to go with the Cosy. Here's a pict of my car. Looking forward to seeing more of yours. 3 Quote Link to comment
