Mayf,

I am not well versed but I have seen BIG power made out of the gm "ecotec"
that was around a couple of decades ago. I dont know if a non-ford motor is
even an idea. BLASPHEMY!  ;)

They are a variable valve timing DOHC inline 4... And it's my understanding
that there is gobs of aftermarket support and components available. I've heard
of people making hundreds of horsepower out of them...and there is a family of
motors that is AT 2.0 liters.... Not sure about under. Haven't checked that
much. But it came to mind as a successful solution in that size.

Here is an article
