And it would be BDA

The BDA series
Cosworth increased its association with Ford in 1969, by developing a DOHC 16-valve inline four cylinder engine for road use in the Ford Escort. Working from the Kent block, Cosworth created a 1,601 cc (97.7 cu in) for homologation purposes. The camshafts were driven by a toothed belt, hence the name BDA, literally meaning "Belt Drive, A type".

In 1970, the BDC evolution received fuel injection for the first time. Two years later, the BDA series was being used in Formula 2, first at around 1,800 cc (109.8 cu in), until reaching a maximum of 1,975 cc (120.5 cu in) in 1973, as the developed BDG form of the engine, which also received an aluminium block.

The block could also be shortened, starting with the 1,599 cc (97.6 cu in) Formula Atlantic engine in 1970, followed by the 1,100 cc (67.1 cu in) and 1,300 cc (79.3 cu in) variants for SCCA club racing and sports car racing.

In the 1980s, the engine saw its final incarnations, the 1,700 cc (103.7 cu in) BDR, used in the road-going version of the Caterham, and the 1.8 L BDT, which powered the never raced Escort RS1700T, and the more competitive Ford RS200, which was created for Group B rallying. A 2,137 cc (130.4 cu in) evolution model was developed by Brian Hart just as Group B was cancelled by the FIA. The BDT-E turbocharged versions gave over 600 bhp (447 kW; 608 PS) in Group B rallycross configuration.

Very expensive engines to buy, own and run...
