    Not familiar with that particular designation, curiously. What CC?

    You might start by asking Lee Johnson, a great guy who posts here irregularly.

    There’s also a few more running Cosworths at RMVR races, including Dick Benson, and I think Bob Alder (Team Terrific Racing, he’s also on this forum).

    FVA - Four Valve A, Predecessor to the BDA - Belt Drive A.

    I read that it was the development engine for the heads on the DVF Double FV V8 for F1.

    I hope that's right. Feel free to correct me if not...

    IIRC, the FVA had some interesting harmonic vibration issues, hence the BDA successor?
