A few years ago they made a Duratec. You should Wiki it. One of the most power per liter in it's day. They also make these DOHC V8's for Mustangs that are small displacement and make great power as well.
Are you kidding? The Type-R made 197 HP (SVT made 195)out of a four banger. Not to mention the GSR made 170 HP (regular Duratec made 170) out of its 1.8L. Ford not to mention was still making a HUGE 130 HP out of it's 2 liters.
