Have you ever thought you could get a 302 in a new Ford Focus?

My dad came accros this car in the U.S. at one of there big drag racing mets.

:O this car is AWSOME

So who wants one?

Would of been better if it was injected, quite slack doing a carby setup on it :D

Is there any room left in there for Injection???

Hmmmm my Laser has potential after all :-)

I was reading an article about the 4.6 focus, and they reckon the focus almost seem MADE for the 4.6... requires not structual modification to get the sucker in.

Wouldn't mind one for weekend draggin

thats pretty spun out. I bet the first person to do that was totally amazed at how good it fit then :)

and about the drags, imagine how much fun it would be

If you put some killer exhaust on it, to take away most of the v8 sound it would be the ultimate street sleeper too :)

Im just imagining how weird this thing would look compared to its sound.
