My 2002 SVTF has a stock engine. When it finally blows up (should be awhile, its only got 95K) I plan to keep it as a project car. I was thinking about swapping the stock engine with this beast:

OH Mylanta it would be ridiculous. Has anyone seen this done before? What else needs to be beffed up on the car?

Just a pipe dream right now, but you never know.

My apologies if this is a repost...

OH Mylanta it would be ridiculous. Is it possible without MAJOR modifications? Has anyone seen this done before? I assume I'd need new brakes, clutch/flywheel, transmission(?), and the list probably goes on and on.

So good you had to make two threads. And $13k is stupid.

Focussport sells them..the 2.0 is i think $10,000 and the 2.3 is $13,000

I'm a bit new at the site. Can I delete my own threads? (hit the button twice)

Oh, and I'm hoping to strike it rich before then...

Well to be honest it's not worth buying one of those engines. buy a 2.3l block, 12.5 to 1 compression pistons, fordge connecting rods, ranger crank, FRPP head, crane sgt 2 cams, cosworth intake manifold, 67mm TB, K&N FIPK cia, And really really damn good tune (dyno tune). you should hit about 250Hp an save your self about half of the money that you would spend on a cosworth engine.

That's bananas. I've also seen some small block V8s rolling around in focuses. I don't know who made the engine or who managed to squeeze it in there but, you should look at that. Rearwheel drive V8 focus. Now that's a pipe dream.

lol. There is a maniac here in OKC who had a Focus with a 351 Windsor crammed in there. But he sold it, and the goon who bought it swapped the motor with something less awesome.

pretty sure it was Tom who bought it, blew it up and put a new one in stroked (or bored) to a 408. unless this is a different one

 

[billries23]

Yeah I think you are right. It'd be sweep to swap for the '04 Cobra engine. Except step 1 of the install is "cut your Focus in half." I am officially scared off.

You will not make 250hp, there was a thread on this the other day. Only one guy i heard of has made 200 hp NA tuned with like 150 tq

 

[WD40]

Moved to "Engine & Transmission Swap" and merged with duplicate thread.

Whew....$12,999 just for the 250hp engine?
Might as well just boost what ya got, get more power, and save about $8,000 at the same time. []

 

[focusguy87]

yea itsd be sweet but not pratical....

 

[spacegravity4me]

guys, what about the engines on this website? I don't even know if the ones on here are compatible but they are cheaper. I selected one of them so you could see the price and engine, there are a whole lot more. http://www.performanceparts.ford.com/parts/part_details.asp?PartKeyField=9636
