Don't think a mk2 focus engine will fit between the turrets as the focus is quite wide as even the mk1 focus rs is not wide enough for the mk2 engine but then never say never

ive seen a 2,5 st engine fitted in a mk1 focus jamsport did 1 years ago
it would take a lot of moving to make it fit will get the rest of the car sorted 1st and then see what to do with engine
