The Ford V8 used by Jimmy Clark in Formula One was built by Cosworth for Ford. It was not based on any kind of production engine. thanks |

Re: 1960's Ford Indy V-8
Attachment didn't work...
I once had a Cosworth Vega. I guess I'm just a sucker for high winding engines like the Vega and this Indy Ford. I've had some powerful OEM Muscle cars and of course we all wish we shoulda / woulda / coulda kept them, but that Vega still ranks high on my list of those I should have kept (it was almost new condition and I paid $3500 for it). If not so much what it was, what you could do with it. I still say if I won the lotto I would build one for T/S. Heck, maybe Super Stock would be even more fun. That engine and RWD layout has the right hardware and so much potential.

Re: 1960's Ford Indy V-8
The Cosworth Vega was a fun car to drive . The Vega just sort of dissolved from around the Cosworth engine though .
For high winding , high tech engines go to You Tube and type in Renault F1 engine burning down . I don't know what the burning down part has to do with the video , but it's a dyno test of a Renault F1 engine on a race simulation dyno . 18,000 rpm going up and down the gears . You'll want turn the volume up . Mike Croley Master dist. for Competition Race Fuels |
