Does anybody know if the Cosworth 2.3 is the same as my Lima motor? What about the Duratec?

thought so....i was looking for specs but couldnt find any. i almost bought a cosworth sapphire in england and sneak it back as a merkur. now that i think about it i wonder if the duratec is a viable swap for a foxbody.....must do some research.

That Vega engine is in no way shape or form the same engine that was found in the Ford Cosworths. 

The YB engine in the Cossies was also a 2.0, not a 2.3.  It has more in common with the old Pinto 2.0 than the 2.3 Lima.

The Duratech is a "viable" swap, but they are pricey, and will require custom work.
