Probably not much in it, things like the pistons and flywheel may be slightly lighter to compensate for other stuff.

so, what do you think about a current 4/4, fitted with a cosworth 2,0 225HP engine? Changing tyres for 185 wide, adding anti tramp bars...and a roll bar.

I love the lightness of my car. How many Kg (in addition) would I buy in against the Sigma 1.6 engine?

there is no technical info on the AR P4 which is annoying, but the Cosworth engine is what really interests me

I thought about going the Cosworth manifold route along with a modified throttle body. It was however designed for the 2.3 litre although it will fit the 2.0 litre Duratec. It is good to see it fits under the bonnet of the Morgan.
Although it fits the 2.0 litre, rolling roads show that torque suffers on the smaller engine. It has been used on supercharged and turbocharged installations to great effect. No torque problems there.

I would imagine that the sale of crated Cosworth engines will increase as a result of ARP 4. It's a less expensive way to get the engine!
