I have two '76 Cosworths (don't have the dash numbers at hand at the moment). I had a problem a long time ago at the Secretary of State because of confusion...
Mike It is an "O" not a zero, although some states just use the zero for both the alpha "O" and the number "0" (zero) - it keeps things simple, for them. Good...
Tim is correct. For example, all '76 CV titles in California list numeric "zero" for the engine code, not the letter "oh", which is correct. As part of my...
I still get telephone company customer reps who refer to "oh" when repeating my phone number, which has two zeroes in it.... Mike ... code, ... that ... the ...

Hello all, I have a 1976 Cosworth Vega that I need to sell. I have been laid off from work and need the cash bad! The car has around 60,000 on it. The...
Hey guys Hello all ,I have sold all my Cosworth Vegas I have no more .But i still have all my parts that i had . I am wanting to sell all of them .I have a...
Fellow CV owners, Due to some recient, shall we say "problems with the tax man", I am being forced to get rid of all my toys. I have CV #1426, which is a 75...
Check out the cam drive on this BMW V-10, which is going in the new M5. http://www.bmwm5.com/articles/m5e60/pressrelease2/julye60m5pressrelea se2.html ...
I have 1976 Cosworth , starts, runs bad, local automotive store says I need a higher pressure fuel pump and put a regulartor in , I need to know what the...
That's not an uncommon cam drive. My '91 MR2 with the 2.2L Camry engine has the same setup. It's a "narrow angle" DOHC design - included angle between the...
There is a vendor in CA who can rebuild the pump, regulator, MAP sensor, and injectors. They are listed in Cosworth Vega magazine. If you try to jury rig the...
I guess I didn't ask my question very well the first time as no one responded. So let me try again. I want to build a 2.5 liter CV engine with Webber carbs. I...
I don't think you can use your 2.0 pistons with the 2.3 crank. If you shorten the rods that far, the piston time at TDC will decrease and the speed at which...
To get 2.5L you need to bore it and or further stroke it since the stock Vega is 2.3L. Neither is easy. You would need to bore it .125= custom sleeves and...
Richard, Stock Cosworth rods work fine but you need new pistons which move the pin closer to the top of the piston. Sleeves would be required under normal...
Sorry guys, I meant a 2.3L CV - not a 2.5L. Gotta make the brain make the fingers hit the right keys. So, if I understand correctly, nobody knows of any rod...
a Chevy 400 has shorter rods - but the big end probably will be too large for the cosworth crank - but if you are going to make a new crank anyway then the...
I'm looking for a wheel style that's better looking the the base Vega wheel. I don't want to take any real Cosworth rims out of circulation, as this will not ...
The Vega rod has a slightly wider big end than small block chevy so they won't interchange. there is no problem gettin someone to make you rods. Vega big end...
The Vega rod at 5.7 inches long is on the short side to use with the 3.625 stroke 2.3 crank. To use a shorter rod than that would be ill advised. Use a ...
OK Here is my two bits......... The 2.0L piston has a 1.7325" compression height, the 2.3L piston has a 1.500" compression height - so a 2.0L piston can no be...
Sorry, I forgot to divide stroke increase by 2 in calculating the change in rod length but you would still end with a rod .2325 shorter than stock and that is...
Can someone tell me how you can remove the (front and rear) window trim? Is there special tool needed or can do it with a screw driver?? I wanted to ask...
There is a tool for it shaped like an arrow. You just slide in it from the glaas side and hook the clips by sliding it laterally following the glass edge. Then...
Ok!!!! This is what I know-my two scents. If you use a stock 2.3 piston with a 5.850 long rod,(which is .150 longer than stock), all on a 2.0 crank,your...
Cosworth Vega 2037 is still for sale. Looks like I have a buyer for the house so I need to get rid of Cosworth Vega #2037 fast First $800 takes, but act soon,...
Tony Your forgot to mention that the 5.85" rods are a fluke - they are Cosworth EAA pieces not readily available in the aftermarket arena for a reasonable...
