Any 40\'s in the UK with a DSV engine in?

I nearly went to look at a part completed GT40 many moons ago that was fitted with a Cosworth DSV (I think it was DSV)engine. I don't remember anything about it now, but would be interested to know if it ever got finished?

I've no idea if there are any DFV powered GT40s in this country, but it's never too late. There was a Cosworth press release earlier this year announcing that the DFV is making a comeback - prices yet to be decided.

Cosworth DFV comeback

Would this DFV be swapable with a 302 or like a cosworth, aren't they wider thus to tight a fit for Mark I?

I wrote the post out with DFV and then changed it to DSV (too much time watching the Sci-Fi channel I guess)

A quick web search didn't turn up the dimensions of the DFV engine, but one site said that it weighs 313 lbs, which is more than 100 lbs lighter than a 302 (460 lbs, according to the same site).
