Default engine advice

i am looking into tuning a ford and was wondering what engine would be best to look at for large bhp and torque.
im think either a 2.0 zetec or a 2.0 yb cosworth.
im looking to put one in a ford escort mk1 or a granada.
i am also interested in the 2.3 dohc ford put in the scorpio, are these any good and worth tuning ?

thanks for your help guys

If turbo go for YB, if N/A go for DURATEC.

sounds like a pretty high spec'd yb for you mate, get it spec'd for you driving with a turbo that spins up quickly
