I had an idea that involved a 3.4L Yamaha 60° V8 from the Gen 2 SHO, and a Supra. If the Miata 6M could work, that would be awesome. I was speculating that the 5M from the V6 Lincoln LS might work.
New 2.3, in a Fox body could be interesting.

There are sub-families in the Duratec family. The 1.6L in the Fiesta is different from the 2.0L and 2.3L in the Focus and the 2.5L in the Fusion. Then there is the v6 Duratecs. I don't know too much about the v6 Duratecs except that it includes the new Mustang v6.
The Mazda2 shares an engine with the Fiesta but there's not really any useful application for that. The Mazda3 until 2011 and the NC MX-5 share a bolt pattern with the Focus(2.0L and 2.3L) and the Fusion(a 2.5L).
What I find most interesting is that there have been successful swaps of the 2.3L and even the 2.5L into NC Miatas. I'm hoping that since the ecoboost is still supposed to be "Duratec" that they didn't change the bolt pattern.
