I've read a bit about the 2.5 being a slight modification of a Porsche design, mostly shortening the block to fit in this platform. I have never been led astray by any of you (demonsvt in particular, the source of most of this), but where can i find documented proof of the origin of this engine design? It's easy for me to believe for two reaons:

The other possiblity is Ford managed to extract 170 high-revving ponies from a measly 152 cu in or so... look at the V-6 than came in mustangs in '95... blech.

I've driven it, and wow.

but i can't tell my buddies, "oh, i read it on a forum, it must be true" so all you experts, where can i find this documentation?
