That would be a fun car to drive! The best way to make that happen Maxx is to get a donor car with a good engine and trans, like a Taurus, or even better a first gen Taurus sho that way you don't have to worry about the pats anti theft keys! Just drop the whole assembly with the sub-frame from the focus, place the Taurus sub-frame with engine and transmission still on it under the focus and mock up the sub-frame so that it will safely bolt up to the focus. Modify fuel lines to fit, modify wire harness to fit, and all other things that will need modifying. It would be a lot of work but man! it would be the worlds first sho focus,focusho sounds catchy! Just an idea.

Whenever you plan on doing it just let us know what donor car you get and we'll get you the wire diagrams you need to make it happen.
