	Ford Zetec engine at AllExperts
		It was originally coined to replace "Zeta" on a range of 1.6 L to 2.0 L multi-valve engines introduced in 1991.

	Ford Interceptor concept – Motor Trend The General Forum Forum
		Though AutoWeek was chastised for claiming Ford was working on sedan and even wagon variants of the iconic Mustang coupe, the automaker is certainly considering using the Stang's underpinnings for other vehicles.
		The Interceptor, in Ford's defense, is not so much a four-door Mustang as it is a sedan that's based on the Mustang's chassis.
		Making this a Ford are signature design touches, including the horizontal three-bar grille that is structurally integrated into the bumper beam as well as professionally applied "squircles" – or professionally square circles – inside and out.

		Later versions of the engine are known as the Zetec-E. The main difference is a two piece crankcase which helps damp out noise and vibration.
		It's also a much smaller engine than the SE version, which allowed it to be then installed on the Ford Ka, replacing the weak Endura-E engine by the time.
		The engine also featured a new patented process for the aluminium head production, which resulted in a better alloy than those produced in Spain and UK, and at a lower production cost.

		The modern version of the Ford 427 concept’s power plant started off as a cloak and dagger “skunk works” project commissioned by Theodore, who wanted to know if it was feasible to craft an all-new, lightweight 427 cubic inch (7.0-liter) engine out of Ford’s highly flexible modular V-8 engine family.
		Remarkably, the engine is almost 70 pounds lighter than the 5.4-liter 32-valve Cobra R engine from the Ford Mustang.

		The all new Escort was meant to be fitted with the all new Zetec (then called Zeta) engine but unfortunatly with the car being rushed out it wasnt ready, therefore the power was supplied by the trusty CVH until late 1992 when the first Zetec powered escort were released (along with minor body changes).
		Though it had very little in common with its 70's predesessor, the 16v I4 engine was a strong power house producing 150 bhp coupled with an excellent chassis, and in the right hands became a more than capable car.
		Unfortunatly for the RS2000 Ford decided to release the mighty Escort Cosworth a few months later, which went onto win rallies and become a legend in its own lifetime leaving the RS2000 far back in its shadow.

	2004 Ford F-150 Review - First Drive & Road Test - Motor Trend
		We're inside the fenced and guarded confines of Ford's Kingman, Arizona, Proving Ground, and, as heat waves wrinkle this rocky moonscape, these hardworking test mules are intent on proving that America's number-one-selling pickup (for 26 years) hasn't lost any off-road toughness or work-hard capability--though it rides, handles, and runs more like a sedan.
		Ford worked hard to raise the pickup interior ante, and the effort has paid off.
		So Ford Design put the starch and creases back in with upright sideglass, a higher nose and beltline, and crisper radii on all the bends.

		According to supplier sources familiar with the plan, Ford's program code for the new Bronco is BV409 or 410.
		Look for the vehicle to appear around model-year 2008 or 2009 — it will likely be based on the next-generation Ford Fiesta subcompact platform, which is likely to arrive in 2008.
		We say "inspired by" and not "mimicking" because the new Bronco is likely to be as far removed from the original as Dodge's new Charger sedan is from the classic two-door for which it is named.
