Higher duration cams, bigger throttle body. bigger ports in the inlet manifold and a remaped ecu and should be a 130ps spec.

If the Mondeo was a 105ps spec then the Rs would also have under piston cooling jets over the mondeo.

The Manifold marked HO tend to fetch good money on ebay and one guy on here ended up with a free engine with a bit or buying and selling


Escort and mondeo have a differant sump and water pump aswell.
