Default Which engine? Help needed.

I am about to start a project and need to choose an engine to use in it but don't know whether to go with a cosworth or a mk2 focus rs engine?

Will be used in a mid engine layout with 4 wheel drive and need to run between 400-500bhp, and be as reliable as possible.

Any help much appreciated

Dan

Well based on your user name I'd go for something that's looks the part ie a zetec turbo with a BDA style rocker cover.

Authentic look would be nice but not sure the zetec would be as easy to tune as the duratec or the yb, or could take as much power and be as reliable.
