Does anybothy know what the total engine height is of a Cosworth YB engine?
I searched the forum, but couldn't find it.

Thanks.

To many variables to say how tall they are, the height of sumps are different from 4wd to 2wd, the height of the turbo's are different also. You can chop a lot off the sumps to bring the total height down and you can get some manifolds to drop turbo height. In truth if you have the height for a pinto then you should be ok for a cosworth its the width that's the problem at the head

I'd imagine the bigger issue with a yb is finding one that's not had to head skimmed several times or any meat left on the bottom end . Everyone I know running a yb is on its last legs if it needs to be rebuilt .
