Engine Blueprint Series Cosworth BDA Ford T-shirt and Hoodie

Cosworth solidified its association with Ford in 1969, by developing a double overhead camshaft (DOHC) 16-valve inline four-cylinder engine for road use in the Ford Escort. As Keith Duckworth was busy designing and developing the DFV, the project was assigned to Mike Hall, who created the 1601 cc BDA on the Kent block for homologation purposes. The camshafts were driven by a toothed belt developed for Fiat 124, hence the name BDA, literally meaning "Belt Drive, A type". It was designed for FIA Group 2 and Group 4 on either rallying or touring car racing purpose. The nominal homologation at 1601 cc capacity meant that BDA-engined cars competed in what was usually the top class (1600 cc and up) so were eligible for overall victories rather than class wins.Offered in 3 options:1) our favorite, the stupid soft vintage Tri-blend (runs snug, size up 1)2) 100% cotton t-shirt (fits true to size)3) our super warm hoodie (fits true to size)Bella and Canvas Mens Triblend4.2 oz.50/25/25 polyester/
