Focus ST engine into XR2?
Just wondering if anyone knows if it would be possible to fit the Focus ST engine into an XR2? 
Track car needs a rebuild and got offered the full front end of a Focus at the weekend that has been smashed,so was just wondering if anyone has any info.

Reason being you can put pretty much any engine into any car as long as you have the skill and budget.

nowts imposible but id imagine the best way to do it without reducing the structural strength of the front end to much would be to space frame the front end and tie it into a weld in cage. youll need to chop alot of chassis leg out id imagine otherwise.

I've got both in my garage
also isnt the gearbox sorter to make up for it, so overall its no longer than a zetec etc and box?
they fit in the focus, and so does the duratec...
go for it, and when its done, let me know and we will feature it!
