Project Ford Focus with 351

Check out this Ford Focus that some locals are hopping up. They put a new engine into it, new RWD, etc... Sounds like a monster!

It's hosted on my Yahoo, so you will have to find the movie yourself since they don't support direct linking...

Try this link first, if it doesnt work try the next one:
351 Ford Focus

2nd link to try

Goto Project Focus and then click the movie link...

If you have bass in your computer speakers that rev sounds amazing.

Yes, in our vics it would so rule! I dream of a AWD or RWD vic, pull aside someone in a stang or something and rev it and they go WTF.

Dunno what they have in the cost wise but it sure sounds nice!

What? I know the guy that built this car, and he spent no where near that amount. Not even if you included the cost of buying the Focus in the first place. Ford Racing's kit is only 10k, and that is including the engine, tranny, and everything you need.

This one was mostly custom built, just using a few crossmembers and pieces from the FR kit, the rest was pieced together and custom made.

I thought it would be fun to put a 6cyl in my civic and make it AWD or RWD but I dont have that kind of money. So I just watch others do up projects and live vicariously thru them.

ive seen the monster focus before, its crazy. so heres what im wondering: miata guys have put a v8 in the miata..theyre working on the v10 from viper now, the focus guys did this...why isnt there ANYTHING like this that honda guys are doing?

i mean there is NO WAY that a civic engine bay is smaller than the miata one. and i think the miata still has A/C and some of the other civilized things. whats the deal?

i mean i know its nice and all to get like 400-500 hp from a 4-cylinder, but a v-8 can do SO MUCH more.
