two gas tanks????

no, a fuel cell and a battery box. There probably wasn't enough room for the diff in the back with the stock gas tank. And look under the hood, not very much room for a battery there either.

some guys in california put a supercharged 4.6 DOCH the 03' cobra engine in a focus and modded it to a good 450 horse now that would be a focus, I didn't check the links but what does this one put out?

they guy actually produced a kit that bolts in with a few mods. It uses either the 5.0 or the 4.6, with a ford 9" rear and lots of other goodies.

thats some wild shit. has anyone ever looked up the hemi crusers? its a company that will put an original hemi in a pt cruser.

5.9 R/T

They build those hemi swaps for pretty much anything these days, as well as the viper V10 swaps.

That focus is sweet, i saw it on some show a while back, it has a very mean exhaust tone to it. My only question is why not fuel injected?

I guess it saves them the trouble of tuning an ecu for the application???

True, but from my understanding you can buy precalibrated FI kits for the 5.0. Send them the specs on your motor and they send you the control modual, pre tuned. Not a big deal really, it's just weird to see a carb under the hood of a new car, especially an econo box like the focus.

nonono...not ford Ka, it's the Ford Fiesta Rally concept that ford is planning on using to replace the Focus. Now when the debut is, :dunno::dunno:.

That's right. Here's a pic of the Ka (looks quite different).

They are all in different sizes. Fiesta, Ka and Focus all exist alongside each other. Ka is the smallest (supermini), Fiesta is a little bit bigger, and Focus is a lot bigger.
