Guest John Adkins Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 http://www.kugelkomponents.com/focus.html a swap kit to put a small block ford V8 in a Ford Focus... sounds good to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeromio Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 Wow. That is so cool. It's too bad they didn't bring the 4door hatch to the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsil Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 I wonder why they don't have any info on the differential.....they say it's rear drive.....the Focus is front drive, so what do you swap in the rear? AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest John Adkins Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 hmm... good question... It says on one of the pages they're working on a bolt-in rearend kit for using an 8.8" rearend from a Mustang.... V8 Ford Focus... the idea amuses me! Imagine the the look on the faces of unsuspecting "sport compact" owners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fl327 Posted December 20, 2001 Share Posted December 20, 2001 how about if you got the kit and put it in a honda civic?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted December 21, 2001 Share Posted December 21, 2001 I like the design of the engine cradle--looks totally solid from what I see. Anyone see a price? Not that I'm interested..me? No, never...OK, maybe just once! Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsil Posted December 22, 2001 Share Posted December 22, 2001 I wonder how adaptable that would be to a Z......... Gonna find out..... AL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 There's a rice rag out there that has an article on this. I looked at it and noted that in the article he tubed the ENTIRE front end from the firewall forward It looks liek he may have a kit that doesn't require that but on a modern car car I don't see this swap going anywhere - emissions are getting too tight IMO unless you just want to drag race it. It couldn't be done here legally... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew Bayley Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Hot Rod magazine had a short little paragraph about them. Even the old-scool Iron heads are amused by this concept... No Picture? No Problem. Click here! -Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
