MAE SCREAMER

Most radical of the 997cc and 1098cc engines built or modified by Cosworth from 1959 for the 1-litre Formula Three class and Formula Junior was the 997 MAE, or Modified Anglia Engine, of 1965. This dry-sump ‘four’ was based on the Ford Anglia 105E unit, but with intake-port sleeves for downdraught carburettors brazed into the cast-iron cylinder head, and would make more than 100bhp.
