- Complacemcy is the key by which tyrrany opens many doors.
The Focus ST actually has a turbo Ecotec. It's possible that the non-turbo, base model Focus used the Duratec engine.

That engine has 151 HP, and the one in the Ranger has 143. I don't know if they would swap straight up.

the 2005 Focus won't have the intake flappers.
does it have variable cam/valve timing?
the front timing cover will be different, FWD cars don't have engine driven fans.
