All the 2.3 engines are chain driven. They are Ford derived and are the same engine as used in the transit and the last of the "bug eyed" scorpios. Its a well proven engine :)

 

Chains are typically not used on petrol engines below 2.5 as the stress levels they are subject to is reasonably low by comparison and the noise associated with a chain can be classed as a "bad point". That said the HUGE plus side of chains is that they hardly ever snap and unlike a belt are typically designed for the life of the car without any major servicing required.
