If there was no such thing as the ZETEC this would be an OK idea. But as Ford gave us the ZETEC E use it, its lighter, cheaper and better

would be alright if they had enough torque to pull our heavy 4x4's around

If you are on a tight budget the I4 engine wins £ for BHP

It is heavier though !

it will go in but is ALOT of agro as its a very big engine. you WILL have issues with the mounts, you WILL have issues with the inlet manifold and bulkhead clearance, you Will have issues fitting an alternator and im fair sure you have to box the chassis leg for the pulleys to fit...

lots of agro, when a zetec will go in fairly easily.

*edit* and its nothing like fitting the zetec!
