Why?
The heritage of the Duratec V engine is purely Ford (America) as a modular engine in the early 90's. There are SOHC, VVT, V8, IMRC, etc versions. I don't know what it is, but I'd expect it to be a conventional Ford V4/6 pattern.
It has no linkage, apart from the name, to the Mazda Duratec HE I4, let alone the Probe V6 engine.
Why is it Ford started/loves to confuse the consumer engine names (a little at first) and then going mad with trim levels as well. I know someone who insisted he could easily drop his Focus turbo engine into his MK3 Mondeo because it was a 'Zetec'.!
