Title: Cosworth S2
Post by: Lou Drozdowski on Friday,February 11, 2022, 12:53:37 PM
As close to a type 47 you can get...this sweet S2 hits all the marks.

…. :)

Always wanted to have a snorkel to test the effect of cold air feed…perhaps a smidge of ram air….looks like the way I would experiment with to keep the sides clean……it is exactly what I have in the engine bay of my Land Rover 90 …hidden away

The side vents look like the vents one would find at a builders merchant over here.

I am working on a snorkel for my S2 1500cc wedge head. Pictures to follow.

There's a video on youtube of this car at a show. Some guy talking about it. It's a beautiful car and I'm sure a lot of fun.  He's done a lot of work on it. I don't know these engines but a built 4 valve 2 liter at 14 psi should be at least 350 hp.

Ah yes….I remember seeing this up to a certain point and then missed your mock up……and as Mr Collier said 'Make a mold, sell 'em, retire early, smoking expensive cigars!'

Nice you are able,to open the lid without removing it

Thank you
