MK1/2 Mundeo had the 2.5. the 3.0 didn't appear until the Mk3 and was a similar performer to the C25xe ;)

Can't speak to the other options as 9 of my first 12 cars were Fords (7 Granada MK2/3 and 2 Sierras) the other three were a 1.6 Pug 405, a 2.0 Renault 25 and a 1.3 Polo :-[

Whoever went along with the "Christian conversion" was well and truly played for a mug  >:(

:o You can just imagine the sense of panic on the bridge of the ship  :o
Even worse on the actual bridge.
Poor sods probably didn't know what was going on  :(

Bike engines were producing 100 BHP a litre NA back in the time of Moses.

Quite simple really.....lots of revs and a carb for each cylinder. :y
Yeah, but no torque, sadly.  As nothing is better than 15,000+ rpm rattling your gonads :y

In 2024 superbikes can manage more than 200 BHP per litre without forced induction. No grunty low down torque but low weight and gearing tends to cover this up.

My Yamaha FJ1200 only made 125 BHP but was also a proper 'stump puller' when it came to torque.

The RS2000 had 150bhp (retuned from the 8v lump in the MK3 Granada/Sierra), but the 2.0 Zetec lump was 135/140 iirc.

The Zetec S 170 in the Focus didn't appear until the MY2000 facelift.

The V6 Mundeo was 170bhp all day long.

Mercedes had 185bhp fuel injected twin cam straight six from the early 70's but mainstream stuff took a while to catch up.

The Honda 1.8 revved to about 8k so not sure if that counts  >:D
The Zetecs were underpowered from the moment they were launched, so ignore them.  I remember that PoS 1.6 Zetec Focus she had for several years.  What a crock of shite - not even remotely close to the 1.6 K series Rover I had at the same time.  I think it claimed around 110bhp, but was flat as a witches tit...   ....but could keep up with the equally shite 1.8 Focus her bro had at the same time ;D.  Apart from when it randomly would cut out, which dozens of firmware updates never full resolved.

The V6 mundano was either a 2.9 or 3.0 IIRC, so a bit disappointing.

So Fords from that era are not a great example.

From memory, I think it was the Elring ones that used to go hard very quickly, and leak prematurely...

Long time ago now, but, my 1991 Sierra 2.OGLX came with a DOHC lump that made it pretty quick.

Can't remember how much power it made now, but I think around 125BHP.
That rings a bell, same as the Granada. Mechanically the RS2000 lump was the same... When the head went on my L reg Scorpio I did consider the RS2000 head thinking it would be different...  ::)
