What about the 2.3L Zetec found in the Focus? I read an article in Hot Rod magazine where ford increased displacement to 2.5L and did some other stuff to it and now it makes 300hp and 240.2lb-ft of torqe. It was developed for use in off-road racing untill the program was nixed. Which means the thing probably has pretty good reliability. Its expected to make an *easy* 500hp when turbocharged. Plus its small and light and thats always a good thing. Would make a good LMP-2 engine.
