Lou, remember that Cosworth is an independant company, owned by Vickers I
think. They went to Weber Marelli because they could make a system which
worked and was available in small numbers. I would be surprised if there was
anyone at Ford at that time who could design and program the EEC4 system.
Don't forget this was done in England, not the US.

The Weber Marelli system was new, and they wanted customers so they probably
developed the  system for peanuts. It went on the Aston Martin and the
Maserati Bi Turbo and Lancia Integrale so it did work quite well.
