BDG race engine for sale
Product Overview
For sale is a BDG 2.0-litre FIA specification race engine, rebuilt as new by Jondel — a respected and well-established name in BDG engine preparation. The engine produces a dyno-verified 257 horsepower and 168 ft/lb of torque and has covered dyno time only since its rebuild — it has never been installed in a car or used in competition since Jondel completed the work. This is a genuinely race-ready engine requiring no further preparation before installation and use.
For competitors active in historic Formula Ford, Formula Atlantic, or any series or class for which the BDG remains eligible, this represents a freshly rebuilt, dyno-proven engine at a known and verified output — the most straightforward possible starting point for a competitive programme.

About the BDG Engine
The Ford Cosworth BDG is one of the most significant and enduring competition engines in British and European single-seater racing history. Developed from the BDA — itself derived from the Ford Kent engine family — the BDG brought two-litre displacement to the BD engine architecture, producing power outputs and rev characteristics that made it the engine of choice for Formula Atlantic and related formula racing throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s.
In FIA specification, the BDG is prepared to the technical regulations applicable to the relevant championship or series — ensuring eligibility for competition while defining the performance envelope within which the engine operates. At 257 bhp, this unit sits firmly within the competitive range expected of a correctly built FIA BDG in good preparation, and the 168 ft/lb of torque reflects the engine’s strong mid-range delivery that is essential for performance in the formulae and series for which the BDG remains eligible.
Jondel are an established and respected specialist in BDG engine preparation, with a track record of building competitive, reliable engines for front-running competitors in eligible series. A rebuild carried out by Jondel provides a known and credible standard of workmanship and component selection, and carries weight with buyers who are familiar with the BDG preparation landscape. An engine built by a trusted specialist — with power figures confirmed by a dyno sheet — is the benchmark for what a serious BDG competitor should be looking for when acquiring a race engine.
