Heh yup I did.
I would consider any Car engine as long as it doesn't cost too much or take too much work to fit to a ford transmission.

Fair enough, I never planned using a ford trans in the first place so it was never an issue for me

I would like to spend less than say £800 on the engine in total so I think the 2.0 zetec is probably my best best thinking about it. Could I possibly
get nearer 200bhp with a zetec for 800 including the engine cost?
Getting a genuine 200bhp from a Zetec is not a particularly cheap exercise, it's gong to need some work on the head and new cams to achieve
that, and then you have to add on the cost of whatever fuelling you are going to use, preferably fuel injection.
A Vauxhall 20XE requires pretty much no engine work other than uprated rod bolts to reach this power, but (as the zetec would) it does depend on good
induction and exhaust system, and you need a special bellhousing to mate it to a type 9 box.
