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

Bike engines were producing 100 BHP a litre NA back in the time of Moses.Yeah, but no torque, sadly. As nothing is better than 15,000+ rpm rattling your gonads 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 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 . 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...

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