I understand that at least the intake for the Duratech 2.5L was designed by Porche, and that the engine, when delivered to Ford, made significantly more power than it does in production form- on the order of 225 - 250 horsepower.

Any truth to this, and if so, what was different about that engine compared to the production unit?
