Well, that's a good point, more Offy's, more Offy parts blown up
The last Chev, that I saw was Smokey's carbed, SBC turbo. The others are badge Ilmors engines!!!

And what about the Cosworth's that were simply called Ford's after Ford bought the rights in 1995?
Re: Indy car engine difference…
For your information, the Cosworth DFV, became the Cosworth DFX engine and both had their beginnings based on the English Ford, 109E 1500cc, 4 cyl engine. First with the Lotus Twin cam (Cosworth designed head), then the F1 DFV V8, then the 109E based FVA 4 cyl, later to become the BDA.

All Ford Indy engines, had a direct connection to Ford, including the Cosworth!
Re: Indy car engine difference…
Ilmor and Cosworth are probably the most successful engine builders of all time.
Sorry Jack but, if Ilmor designed and built it, it's a Ilmor, to me, no matter what badge it might have on the vale cover.

The Fords which became the Foyts were a different engine altogether.

Yes, the Ford/Foyt's are based on the Ford 4 cam Indy engine, that was based on the SBF.Walter R. Malik wrote: ↑Wed Jun 23, 2021 10:10 amThe Fords which became the Foyts were a different engine altogether.
