But, what do you Z'ers think of the new 2.3L DOHC engine coming to replace it? 170 HP w/o a turbo and should kick Honda is the a$$. It's now in the 2003 Ranger and Mazda 6i.
And please, no "Pinto engine" comments. 
The Duratec v6 only has a bad water pump before 1999, and it is now upgraded, in the Mazda 6s with 220HP. Should be in the C/D338 "Tauri/Contour replacement" for 2005, also.
Ranger DOES not have the 2.3 with 170Hp. I saw one at the track run 18.6 with a MTX.  That 2.3 is a Mazda engine not a Ford, just like the Mazda Protege has a 2.0L and is not a Zetec.

Wasn't the Mustang SVO engine designed or made by BMW?

"the 2.3L engine replacing the zetec in foci is a mazda engine." Yes, it pretty much is, but then the Protege platform will be repalced with the Focus one, in 2005. But, then again, Mazda is controled by and 34% owned by Ford. More parts sharing is the present way car companies are doing business.

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