The Cosworth Vega Twin-Cam engine is a 122 cu in (1,999 cc) inline-four with die-cast aluminum alloy cylinder block and Type 356 aluminum alloy, 16-valve cylinder head with double overhead camshafts (DOHC) held in a removable cam-carrier that doubles as a guide for the valve lifters. Each camshaft has five bearings and is turned by individual cam gears on the front end. The camshafts, water pump and fan are driven by a fiberglass cord-reinforced neoprene rubber belt, much like the Vega 140 cu in (2,294 cc) engine. The cylinder head has sintered iron valve seats and iron cast valve seats. Race-bred forged aluminum pistons with heat-treated forged steel crankshaft and connecting rods enhance durability.[6]

Buddy of mine had a '74 hatchback. Fully connected frame, cage, small block / 4 spd, Toyota truck rear end and flip front sheet metal. Fast as heck, scary as h*ll, more fun than sex.....almost.
I remember seeing a couple Cosworth Vega;s around here too. Make a nice drivetrain for a T bucket don't ya think?
Seized for drugs 4-28-17. The odometer has turned over at least once. 2 door, V6 engine. The vehicle does run and is 2 wheel rear drive. There is no cracked glass but a fair amount of scratches and dings as well as a few rusty spots. The trunk lock is missing and the rearview mirror is not attached but is there. The rear passenger fender is cracked. Black cloth interior and the passenger seat is torn. There is a crack in the front dash. Has an after market AM/FM CD. No AC, but has power steering. Strongly suggest towing away until your mechanic can check over.
