It's as shocking as looking at a nice lady on the net and realising on the third picture that she isnt a lady and never has been.....

Yea maybe it is, but if that is a proper cosworth, why the f**k would you slap a normally aspirated vauxhall eingine in it.

Think you'll find it is a turbo lump from a calibra, easy to get to 350bhp.
If you look closely you can even see the turbo.

The intake pipework looks like its butted up to the block, not onto the turbo...

...and there is no charge pipework from turbo to intercooler and back...or in the other non intercooled case, one straight from the turbo to the inlet manifold...

Shopped I am sure...good try though!!

Bugger me, had too much to drink tonight, what the hell is the actuator sitting on, looks like its just floating.

It also looks like there is only one pulley driving the cams, thought there was meant to be two on those engines.
