I am not saying it would be easy hell if the zetec parts where interchangable then ingectors alone where gone run me 1500, but if you can make a ford pinto with a 2.3 liter with a big mainfold, like 1600 cfm high performance carb and highly oversized turbo run 10 seconds then why not a higher power, slightly less displacing fuel injected engine.
I am not saying it would be cheap or anything but hey it can be done and if you havne't seen a 10 second fwd car you arn't looking around cause they aree out there.
I am not going to be able to do this any way cause my work car decided to puke, another reason i don't like escorts. So looks my tour is moving to that spot, and i am going to start looking for a 3.8L T-bird or couger.
