None of the V6 engines share the bolt pattern of your 4wd gearbox

With RS2000 cams, inlet and exhaust manifold you will see an easy 160bhp with much more torque than the original engine, the engine in the pic made just over 200bhp on throttle bodies.

If you need to know more sign up on http://rs2000-16v.com/ and ask

If the 2.3 sounds like too much work why not do a low pressure turbo conversion on the zetec ?
