Now, if it were a DFV I would be interested, even if it don't go.

The cost to each team taking up this option will be an up-front payment of £1.68M (€1.97M) and then £5.49M (€6.42M) per season for each of the three years of the supply contract (2010, 2011, 2012).
This price is based on four teams signing up and includes full technical support at all races and official tests, plus 30,000 km of testing. The annual cost will reduce if more teams take up the option, for example to £4.99M (€5.84M) per team with eight teams.
It will further reduce if less than 30,000 km of testing is required. Neither engine nor transmission will be badged.

Wasn't it that FIA limited the cost of the engines for entire season to 5-6mln pounds?
So with five teams using the engine it will net Cosworth between 25-30 million £'s. I am just guessing, but there should be room for a profit in that amount.
It would be fun if anyone knew, ballpark figures, the development costs for a modern F1 engine.

They probably get some extra cash from FiA as well.

damn, wanted to put one into my Peugeot 105.
Get a V10, I'm sure there are dozens sitting around somewhere after 2005.
