I look at it this way....why would you want to swap out the whole engine for 18 HP (130 vs 148) and some more torque? Throw a T/C on a Focus and it won't matter if you have a 2.0 or a 2.3.

I do believe the aluminum 2.3 would weigh considerably less then the heavy Zetec as well.
There is a post on FJ about one running in the 14s with basic mods on slicks. I am not sure if I believe it though.
If I had a regular zetec and my engine blew up...I might look at it for sure. I plan to go FI in mine someday.

It's a completely new engine -- a four cylinder Duratec, which means aluminum block.

Zetec = IRON block good for atlease a 2.2 with it
then some 12:1 or higher pistons
BUT what the hell do I know
2003 Subaru WRX some mods
Even if you don't have the answer, you certainly have to admire the problem.

The 2.3 is modified ford Ranger motor its modified to be a Praticulay Zero Emissions Vehical (PZEV) The motor looks like hell its all hosses wires, and cables , going ever which direction. This car is only going to marketed in three states and only have production of 40,000 units in its first year. This is not a performace motor it just happens to have more HP and Torque than the zetec. However modding this motor because of the emssions crap will very diffcult not only that it has 15 year 150,000 mile warrenty on it so i wouldnt want to mess with it just to keep that long ass warrenty.
Not what i want under my hood
