In reply to sir_mike :

The listing doesn't specifically say what engine was in the car in 1972 besides mentioning that the T212 was "typically outfitted with the Ford Cosworth FVC engine."

The build for this motor included the very best available including a round tooth cam drive, light flywheel, rods, and crank, a billet distributor with MSD ignition, and a Jennings billet engine adaptor."

I hope that helps.
