Default 2.0 Zetec E engine

Hi,

Looking at upgrading my bottom end of my 1.8 focus to the 2.0 block and keeping my 1.8 head and gearbox.

Just wondered if this will give me the 15ish bhp the 2.0 has over the 1.8?

Also if buying the 2.0 block is there any difference between the focus and mondeo blacktop blocks? How much shud i be looking pay?

Iv currently got kent cams that would move my power band down if fitted in a 2.0 (according to Kent) and got full exhaust/induction as well. If i decide go down this route would probably upgrade to lightweight crank/water pump pulleys as well??

If the lightweight pulleys are fitted will i loose any torque? as think burton power or somewhere told me that allowing the car to rev easier reduces the cars torque?

Any help?

Thanks
