A Pinto engined car on the road is a far better proposition than a Cosworth engined one stuck in the garage all summer.

Isn't a Cossie just a glorified Pinto turbo?  I remember saying something similar to a guy with a Millington once (and that didn't even
have a turbo!!) I thought he was going to punch me!
Seriously, what spec is the Cossie?

Is your YB going to be normaly aspirated or turbo'd? Have you considered the exhaust system changes?

To fit a cossie engine and box it will take a lot of work
you have to alter the gear box tunnel
move the engine back so the engine bay is wide enough to miss the turbo
If you went to Newark show there was a indy there with a cossie fitted
What rear Axel have you fitted ? will it be strong enough ?
good look with the mods you are doing

Wot he said ^^^^
And your exhaust will need some serious custom mods to fit the turbo. All doable, but it might well take longer than 2 weeks to get it all up and
running right.
Good luck!
