not sure the gains you'd get would be worth the work? If you're looking at Zetec then 1800/2000 would be better? but isn't it a small duratec in the mk6?

The mk6 engines are all zetec se's but badged as a duratec (except the st150 engine) the gains wouldn't be massive, but as they're from the same family of engines, its a relatively simple swap I believe. Why not 1.7 it for better gains? Also, the 1.8/2.0 zetecs are different from the smalled capacity 'se' engines, so a lot harder to fit.
