Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

The Z engine code is the bi-fuel (i.e., can run on both natural gas and gasoline) Zetec. Dunno if its SOHC or DOHC, but I'd guess DOHC, or it really wouldn't be a Zetec anymore.

I've seen two of those natural gas Tours, and under the hood I saw no differences except the fuel rail. I think it's still DOHC. In fact, I have a couple of pictures of the engine bay of a natural gas Tour, from a year ago in Seattle (which uses these cars in its city government fleet, I think):   I also saw an electric Ranger pickup there.

there are MANY differences.... why is the focus faster well it is lighter. throttle body, intake manifod, exaust manifold, airbox, there are also internal differences too...
