    The 2.3 block you have was based off the Mazda L engine that they had in the older rangers/b2000, but newer heads

    The Ecoboost wouldn’t be good without Mazda and Cosworth

      Ford owned a controlling share of Mazda during the L series design, it was developed together by ford and Mazda. It’s not just the heads, everything is different except the cylinder blocks lineage. No interchangeable parts.
