I was wondering if there is another marriage between Jaguar and Cosworth. The only ones I found were in Formula One racing.
I have always had unique possessions from wrist watches to automobiles. I would like to know if there are any other Jaguar-Cosworth cars out there in the wild. I'll keep looking.
In the mean time, on todays visit I took some pictures of the business under the bonnet.
Engine compartment from the top. The hight tension wires may look like a mess, but there should not be a problem with any kind of crossfire as you are exposed to with perfectly parallel cable runs.
Left side of engine is a bit tight due to the steering column. The Ford-Cosworth engine uses wasted spark electronic ignition. There are 3 coil packs that fire one cylinder on the power stroke and the opposite cylinder on the exhaust cycle, burning any unburned fuel.
Front of engine. The only things robbing power are the alternator and the water pump.
Right side of engine. Spark plugs are very accessible.
Large electric fan only. Faster warmups and on demand cooling when forward motion is not enough.
These photos are actually in color and appear black and white due to the gray primer dust covering almost everything.
