You guys know there is V8 kit for the focus that only requires some minor floor mods for the tranny makes it RWD. Full conversion using off the shelf FORD parts sponsored by Ford and built by some company as a KIT.
I forgot the link but Ill look for it for you.
It costs $10k if I recall.

Krugel makes the kit for the Focus. It is around $10k which doesnt cover the cost of the motor and tranny. Id love to do something like this but I dont think the car would do to well in an auto-x with this swap.
