Yes.....Ford took the MZR Mazda engine and tweaked it to their specs. and called it the Duratech....it comes in 2.0, 2.3, and 2.5 versions in the USA.
It has shown itself to be an excellent, durable engine...(I've seen Foci (plural for Focus, I think) with 400K miles, several in the 300's and numerous over 200K.
PS: Mazda used Ford's 3.7 (a very good engine) as their V6 for several years during their 'association'...
A little on the rough, noisy side though, at least in my 2.5L Escape.
