duratec or zetec

[andyd87]

After reading the book several times i think im nearly ready to order a flat pack chassis and get started on my roadster. I dont really want to go with a pinto engine so looking at either a duratec or zetec engine and buy the running gear seperatly instead of buying a donor car.
I work in a ford breakers so should be able to find some bits that i need at work and the rest off ebay. I have read though that a duratec on throttle bodies can produce around 200 bhp, would the standard type 9 gearbox and chassis handle this? sorry if this is a daft question just dont want to get started and find out ive got to change my plans.

Also is there anyone around the nottinghamshire area that has gone down the duratec route?
