Cosworth version? If yes they’re getting thin on the ground and as per everything else from the UK can be pricey to work on.
I’ve toyed with the idea of a twin turbo V6 in a falcon or something a few times, would certainly be unique here in OZ if you decide to go ahead |

and yes, I've got a guy on my FB feed that breaks Cosworths in England and the prices he is asking for parts is just silly. At least the V6 Cologne is a more common engine than the YB

What is the difference between the Cologne and Essex V6, if any.

Standard equipment on South African Sierra's And Sapphires.
Available as XR6 in Sierra and 3.0 GLX in Sapphire even had Efi in the last model Ghia's and Limited run of IRS and RSI models. Was available to 1993 but lived on into the Ford Courier where it also had the 3.4 version which had some issues later on when the tooling was infact getting rather tired.
