Don't suppose anybody has a 2.3l duratec lying around that I could have

Alternatively, does anyone know of a ford/general car breakers/engine suppliers thats likely to have one for a reasonable price. I'm looking for a complete 2.0l for around £500 - £750 (I think thats the going rate..)

Send a U2U to "diyer" on here, he may have a 2.0 Duratec.

If you beleve the burton cataloge

the best 2.3 engines come from ford rangers, but with a few mod'd bits from burtons (but of course these seem to be really expencive )

so I guess your looking for a focus/ mondeo 05 / 06 or newer..... (i don't know the exact dates)

Found one here:

If I wanted a 2ltr Duratec I would be looking for a salvaged Mk3 Mondeo. Your budget should be able to accommodate a suitable car, make sure you get one on which the engine will start, then you will know if it's a runner. You will also have a good idea of the mileage (beats relying on the possibly faulty memory of a breaker!).

Plus there will be lots of other useful bits that can be sold or used
