"anything from a mustang..."

okay, so... where's the 5.0L focus zx3?!

what exactly are you talking about when you say "just dropped in"? the mustang's V8 and the focus' zetec are completely different.[hr]
This particular car's Ford V8 engine produces approximately 345hp. Also the postion of the V8, obviously means it's RWD, so i guess thise biotch can launch like a ****.

I guess this will answer you question...

Just like dropping a small block in a civic. You just have to do it.

Has anybody seen the Ford Fiesta with the 220hp Taurus SHO engine? They call it the SHOGUN, sounds like a rocket to me. Looks uglier than sin though.

Yeah just droppin gin V8 in econo cars is easy. Gimme a couple hours and I'll have it up and running in no time. =)
And while I'm at it I'll pull *insert unbelievable object here* outa my **** while doing backlfips.

FYI this post is all in sarcastic fun. I respect anyone who can drop a v8 into a focus. Ford Rules!

The SHOGUN is now presently owned by Jay Leno, it is in his garage and it doesn't get raced anymore. But there is a website that was made that is completely devoted to that car.

I used to own a Volvo 760 Turbo, and I found out people do that with those all the time. They turn them into real sleepers. It comes with a turbocharged 4cyl. engine and people drop-in old mustang and camaro V8's. The engine bay is so big on those cars it works, and it makes those cars SOOO fast!
