Hi,
Just found some info. about the 2.3 scorp engine.
It says "the engine is a Cosworth rebored version of the 2.0 16v with secondary balancer shafts added"
Is this true as i was under the impresssion that the 2.3 was a new design.
Any ideas
Cheers
John

Ahhh...I wonder who that could be?
That's as I understood it from this site, even a garage I took it to once asked if I knew it was a Cosworth.
I didn't say it's a Cosworth full stop, just that it was redesigned by them .
Regards, Bruce  .
