i knew it was out tehre, even when some peole said it was hard to believe it's just a bolt on job

i wonder how much i can get a shitty old focus for then.................

 

looks costly to bolt in, you'd probably be better off doing a focos and having it fabbed up by the time you have a crate engine and all their bling bits to buy.

Good idea though...more kits likle this should be available IMO....no fab work required is a massive bonus to most people.

but you could buy a snotty of imported sack of yank crap and then buy the fitting kit for a ew quid and bolt it together, i'm sure some members here would have in done in a lunch break

 

In answer to the question, Yes.

That's the way to do it

I was looking at doing this.... It ends up being a nicely balanced package with weight distros between 60/40 and 48/52 front-rear depending on which engine / rear end combo you use. The only practical problem becomes ground clearance, as unless you use a custom tunnel there's no room for exhausts other than between the ground and the floor pan. The spec I was gonna go for was a 302 with a blower up the front, and the 01-04 Cobra IRS at the back - only mounts from 4 subframe points so getting geometry right and the fab work are pretty straight forward (only works with FRS arches though if you want decent size tyres).

Looking back at my costings, total conversion cost for all the bits you'd want comes to 15k for a 302 with TKO500 with most bits UK sourced........ or about 10k for a US sourced 2001 Cobra crate engine (4.6L 32V all alloy v8, with T5 and management), US sourced cobra IRS, fab work by steve scott (estimate received), Hayward and Scott / Tony Law side exit exhausts, custom tank and and all ancilliaries. Bargain

 

slightly off topic, but what model front bumper is that off? I know its a Ford bumper but can't seem to find it for mine.
