Duratec 2.3 HE engine

[Broken Cambelt]

While Pondering a good motor to go into a project car i came across the ford duratec 2.3 HE engine. a bit more searching later i found references to a cosworth duratec 2.3, which sounds great. problem - all the cosworths i could find seem to be modified to put out anything between 200 to 300 bhp. this confused me as i seemed unable to find any sort of crate engine made by cosworth that had not been butcherd about by a previous owner.

does anybody know if the cosworth 2.3 duratec is a real motor that could be brought as is, or is it (as i suspect) a stock ford motor for which cosworth tuning parts are available for ?

if it is a real motor does anyone have some rough figures as to what it would produce in terms of torqueHP ?

any knowlege would be great, cheers.

Thanks for the link, i couldn't get on the cosworth site yesterday due to my internet playing up, the link worked though - engine looks like a beast!
