Depends what you have currently.
Duratec is a good engine but rather expensive to fit to a RWD gearbox since you need a special bellhousing.
Zetec would be much cheaper and well trodden choice.
IIRC correctly Ford did badge up some Zetecs as Duratec for some models which causes confusion.

Speak to Darren at KitCarBuilds (also Duratec power) 01474 707071 they have fitted a few now and can advise on the pro's and cons.
He also knows a friendly local breakers who can get him low mileage Duratecs from only £400.
Went for a ride in a Tiger Cat with one of their 230bhp units in and it made me go like this.......
by the end of the ride i was going like this........
