As per the question in the original post: ford/mazda design?
I recall reading a few years ago on BlueOvalNews that Mazda was in charge of new glabal four cylinder design, so looks like they get the nod. Also, this is the same engine family for the the current base Ranger pickup, a 2.3L, but in the truck the engine give up some horsepower for a 500rpm lower torque peak. I believe that was the first stateside application of the engine.
Now one question: Anyone know the differences between the Mazda and Ford 2.0L versions? Mazda makes an extra 12 horsepower. My thoughts: camshafts, engine management, does Ford use the variable intake manifold on the 2.0?
