There are a few different ford twin cam engines out there - Zetec, Duratec, DOHC to name a few. Do you know which one it is, or which car it comes out
of?

I don't know too much about this engine but people have used them before in 7s so they do work. I think weight and lack of tuning parts tends to
put some people off, but they are nice cheap power, especially if one comes free with your donor car.

If you're on a tight budget and the DOHC is in good nick (doesn't need a re-build) then I'd stick with that. If money's not so
important or the DOHC needs work, then I'd go with a Zetec instead.
