I though that there was only a LOTUS (headed) Cortina, not a Cossie headed one.
The latter Mk1 & Mk2 Brit/Euro Escort RSes, as well as the Escort Cosworth RS (of course) used Cossie headed engines.

Cosworth would do a headed Vega engine that got sadly overshadowed by one of GM’s biggest engine Folly’s of all time( Northstar V8 not far behind 🤣) in the standard all aluminum Vega engine where GM most hilarously did not sleeve the cylinders with steel. Wait what? … Even then Buick 215 aluminum block V8 in 1961 had steel sleeves and actually changed the automotive landscape towards Aluminum block engines viability. Was someone asleep in the design room in 72 or was a cost measure? 🤣 Either way a bit of history for all. Oh and ya we thought about putting 215’s in our Datsun 510’s some even did!
Now it’s all just a LS thing. 🤣. wait I digress own your FiST Forever!
