Nope. Doing the V8 swap adds an even amount of weight in the front and rear of the Focus. The weight distribution is exactly the same as a stock ZX3, give or take a pound or two.

Don't they even make a kit for converting it from FWD to RWD? I've seen a bunch of ZX3s with engine swaps....

But how long will said motor last? They give up the ghost under stock conditions and even more so under boost. I loved my old Focus but was deathly afraid I would witness the engine turning itself back into kit form if any power adder was installed.
