Do you have any literature regarding this premade motor being sold out? I don't believe Cosworth
has the right to sell out a motor built for Ford. What I've gathered in this tread is that the
motor was indeed built solely by Cosworth for Chevy, never as a Ford product. I also don't recall
anyone stating that the motor was bought outright from Ford. Either way, it's still bought out and
that's all that matters. It's like buying a race motor from someone who has a extra motor for
extra insurance. That isn't scamming or cheating in my rule book. If you buy it, it's yours as are
the rights to sell it, name it, claim it, or even junk it! And I'm sure Chevy paid a pretty penny
for the motors they have now, so I don't see anything wrong with claiming it their own.
