that 2.3 wasn't supposed to be a naturally aspirated engine though.it was originally designed for the english escort cosworths, as a turbo 2.3.then it trickled into the american market as the mustang svo motr, the t-bird turbo motor, and the merkur xr4ti motor, in the 80's.it wasn't until alittle later on that ford decided that it might make sufficient power as a non turbo in the truck, and escorts, and such.i mean think about it.it has two spark plugs per cylinder.that's just crazy.
