Evening all,
I have a couple of interesting articles, one from 1977 and one from 1979 regarding Cosworth BD info,history and development. I will try and scan them and post them up.
I also have copies of the original Cosworth data/spec sheets and engine installation drawings etc for most of the BD engines. A-D-E-G-H-M and R
In one article from 1977 it says that the very first Alloy BD series block was literally "tripped over" by Peter Ashcroft while on a visit to Brian Hart's Harlow newtown workshop in early 1972.Up until this point Ford were unaware that Brian had been designing an alloy block.
Peter Ashcroft subsequently had an Alloy version BD engine built and in an Escort before the 72 season began.
Incidentally I still run a slide injected iron blocked 1300 BDH in my Escort.
