small v-6 engine specs and recs

ok so my friends and i are put together a dune duggy kinda vehicle. we are in great need of knowin the length of a small v-6 engine with a manual transmission and the rear axle width. we mainly want a rwd engine and transmission. i'm sure there's atleast one person on this site thatll know. we need somethin small but packs some power. thanks for the help everyone!

2.5L duratec out of a contour. that's FWD though.. but it has 170-200hp.

were mainly just lookin for rwd tho. however if we dont get ahold of a decent one we'll consider that one. thanks.

best RWD option would be to take a turbo i4 2.3 From a mustang SVO, or a Turbo coupe.

since its turbo if you work it right it can have a nice low end and it can make nice power.

or you can use a mustang v6..but thats kinda big...Ford doesn't have any really nice RWD small v6, you could always look into mating a Focus or ZX2 Zetec to a european RWD tranny, that will let you build a small, light motor that can have some nice low end.

A zetec with bolt-ons can make a buggy (probably around 800-1200lbs?) move VERY quickly.


Ford just SUCKS w/ quality v6's...more so w/ small v6's
