#2607 for Sale

I am currently vetting interest in my "76 Cosworth, #2607


I purchased in November of last year, and have had it garaged since. (aside from weekend cruising) Being 6'4" i find it to be a tight squeeze, and my feet hitting one two many pedals while driving. Looking to move on to a larger classic.


I had the fast idle valve rebuilt and muffler replaced, as well as 5% tint added front and back.


Prior owner left me with years of documentation and records. Upgraded taillights and cam, turns over with ease and runs like a top.


feel free to email for photos and further information. Car is located in Kansas City.

Cam follower/valve tappet diameter

Hello everyone,

I am in the process of researching and acquiring parts for rebuilding my engine. I would like to know if anyone has the spec for the diameter of the cam followers as I don't want to take them out of the head just yet. Looking for viable alternatives to the valve tappets so that the valve adjustment can be done with readily available shims. Honing out the tappet bores to fit a slightly larger tappet would be an option. But I can't find the spec anywhere so I'd like to see if anyone has one they can measure the outer diameter of.

Thanks everyone

Theo G.

Upper and Lower radiator hose needed.

Hello all. After almost three years of work, #3452 is almost ready to put back on the road.


Seeking upper and lower molded hoses.


I think the club carried a Gates replacement which is no longer in stock. (Parts number?)

Thanks much for checking!

Thanks much for the info. I just got off the phone with a club member who had an extra lower Gates he was willing to part with.

I am going to print your information and put it in my glove box just in case.

Thanks again.

Cosworth EFI board

I'm in need of an EFI board and or complete ECU box for the EFI. I wanted to see if anyone had parted out a car and had a unit for sale. I have a board that looks to have a short on it.

There’s a service offered that’s advertised in our magazine. Maybe also post either on the CVOA Facebook group or the open Cosworth Vega group.

Looking for sleeved block and used stock piston.

Hello everyone, I unfortunately need to rebuild my engine in #867 which has a badly scored #4 cylinder. I am in Massachusetts. Machine shops are expensive here and have very long wait times (3-6 months). I am asking to see if anyone has a sleeved block and a single used stock piston or a set of used stock pistons. Even better would be a block that was converted to wet liners but I have only seen one of those for sale ever. I would also consider a non sleeved Durabuilt 2300 block with good bores (maybe need honing but no deep gouges). I do not need a crankshaft or rods or any cylinder head components but a complete engine which turned over smoothly would not be out of consideration if it was available. Shipping via Fastenal or other inexpensive method is good, but I can also pick up in New…
