The only difference between the 2.0L and 2.3L Duratec is the head and the stroke. Guys bolt in the Ranger crank and add a ported head and blammo... it's a modding Frankenstein.
The Duratec is a hell of an engine. What really impresses me more than many cars I've driven lately is its absolute willingness to rev to the limiter each and every day while sounding great doing it. No buzz, no bitch... nothing but rev.
Hell, even ATX-equipped Duratecs with the FS turbo kit are lethal. They're great for F/I, they're great for N/A... they're just plain great.
For great gas mileage without much modding potential, the SPI can't be beat tho :P
