This is the layout for a Cosworth engine driving the rear wheels only. The RWD cossie gearbox does not allow the stick to be moved forward to suit the Manta,
like the 4x4, so the builder of this car has mounted the engine quite far forward. I am not too sure what he has done with the radiator/intercooler, but having the engine beyond the front
axle could not have helped the handling. A much better example below is Kevs i240 cosworth
This is the only RWD Cosworth Manta I have seen. The next time I came accross it the back end had been smashed and the car written off.
